About Charlotte

Charlotte McKenna offers support for people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem and life changes. She also helps with addiction concerns, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, parenting pressures and career worries. Her work is gentle and person-focused, aimed at helping people make sense of what they are feeling and find practical ways forward.

Charlotte practises as a BACP counsellor, which means she follows standards set by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Background and approach

She uses a person-centred way of working that puts the client’s perspective first. Sessions typically involve listening, reflecting and helping people identify goals they want to work towards. She also draws on trauma-focused approaches when past events continue to cause distress.

That means paying attention to how difficult experiences affect day-to-day life and helping people build tools to cope differently. The emphasis is on small, steady steps rather than quick fixes. Charlotte has three years of experience supporting adults with a wide range of issues.

She aims to create a calm space where people feel heard and respected while they talk things through. Her style is warm, practical and down-to-earth. People meet her for single issues or ongoing concerns.

Sessions can be used to make sense of intense emotions, repair ways of relating, or work through transitions such as separation, bereavement or career change. The focus is always on what the person wants to change and how to get there.

How her approaches work online

Client-centred therapy places the person’s experience at the centre of the work. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what they hear and helps the client set priorities. This approach suits people wanting a compassionate space to think things through and decide what to change.

Trauma-focused therapy looks at how difficult past events affect current thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It helps people recognise patterns linked to trauma and build practical coping skills to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and together they will shape a way of working that feels helpful. This is a collaborative process that can change as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video works well for face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text options suit brief check-ins or people who prefer not to use a camera. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or mobility needs while keeping sessions focused on practical change.
