Charlotte McKenna

Charlotte McKenna offers help for people facing stress, anxiety, grief and many life changes. She provides a calm, non-judgemental space to talk through what feels difficult. Charlotte places the person’s priorities first and moves at a pace that feels right for them.

She is BACP - British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - registered. That means she follows the association’s professional standards. Charlotte has three years of experience working with adults who bring concerns such as depression, relationship difficulties, self-esteem problems and compassion fatigue.

Her approach is person-centred. Conversations focus on the client’s experience and strengths rather than on labels. She listens closely and reflects back what she hears so people can make clearer choices about next steps.

Charlotte also uses trauma-focused ideas when past events continue to cause distress. This can help when memories, anger or anxiety keep getting in the way of daily life. Sessions are paced to suit each person and to reduce overwhelm.

She supports people dealing with addiction, chronic illness, parenting stress and bereavement. Practical steps, breathing or grounding techniques, and clearer communication strategies are all tools she may use alongside open conversation. The aim is honest, steady work that helps people cope better day to day.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Charlotte uses client-centred therapy to keep the focus on the person’s own goals and values. In simple terms this means the conversation follows what matters most to the client, with the counsellor reflecting and supporting rather than directing. This approach helps with low self-esteem, relationship worries and coping with life changes.

She also draws on trauma-focused therapy when past events are still causing distress. That involves careful work to reduce the hold of traumatic memories and to build more helpful ways of responding to triggers. It can help with anxiety, anger and grief that stem from difficult experiences.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Charlotte will discuss options and try methods that fit the client’s needs, goals and comfort. Decisions about pace and techniques happen together so people feel involved in planning their sessions.

Confirm current session options before booking as specific formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, offer quicker check-ins when needed, or remove travel time. Many people find it simpler to attend regular sessions from wherever they are, and that practical flexibility often helps keep therapy consistent.
