About Charlotte
Charlotte McKenna is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, low self-esteem, grief, addiction, trauma and other life changes. She describes her approach as person-centred, putting the client's perspective first and working at a pace that suits them.
In sessions she listens for what matters most to the person in front of her. She uses client-centred methods to reflect concerns and build practical ways to cope. With trauma-focused work she pays attention to how past events affect current reactions and daily routines.
People often start by talking through what feels most urgent, such as sleeping problems, difficulty speaking up, or ongoing worry. She will then work together with clients to set small, manageable steps. That might include practising communication strategies or looking at patterns that keep stress high.
Her background is BACP registration, which signals membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has three years of therapeutic experience supporting adults with a wide range of issues, from addiction and anger to parenting and career concerns.
Sessions focus on what the client wants to change and the practical ways to get there. The counsellor explains methods in plain language and checks in regularly about what is working. For anyone unsure how to begin, she asks straightforward questions and agrees clear next steps together.
How her approaches are used in online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own perspective. The counsellor reflects what the client says and helps them notice their own thoughts and choices. This approach can help when someone wants to feel more confident in social situations or clarify relationship goals.Trauma-Focused Therapy looks at how past events are affecting current feelings and behaviours. Work is paced to the person's comfort and aims to reduce the impact of traumatic memories on everyday life, including sleep and stress responses.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor discusses goals, preferences and practical needs with each person and they decide together which methods to try. Adjustments are made as the work progresses so the plan stays relevant.
Confirm the exact session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits the person. They can also let someone take part without being in the same building as the counsellor, or use audio-only contact when camera time is difficult.
