About Charlotte
Charlotte McKean is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with seven years of experience. She sees people for issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, and the effects of trauma and abuse. She also supports those facing addiction, compassion fatigue, ADHD and career or parenting strains.
Her practice uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy as one of the approaches. Sessions are client-centred and practical, focusing on feelings and the patterns that keep causing pain. She explains what is happening in clear terms and helps people name hard emotions.
Charlotte also draws on mindfulness methods and hypnotherapy to help people manage strong emotions and bodily tension. Trauma-Focused Therapy is part of her work when past events continue to affect daily life. She aims to slow things down so people can notice patterns and try small changes.
In a session she listens, reflects, and offers ways to practice between meetings. She encourages simple steps that can fit into busy days, such as short mindfulness exercises or focused breathing. The approach is collaborative and paced to the person’s readiness.
Charlotte takes an open, non-stigmatising stance and works without labels. She accepts clients from the UK and internationally and holds sessions in English. To begin she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire before booking a first session.
Using Emotionally-Focused and client-centred approaches online
Charlotte uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people understand emotional patterns and the ways feelings shape relationships and personal responses. EFT focuses on naming emotions and noticing interaction cycles that keep problems repeating, which can be useful for relationship or intimacy-related concerns and for managing strong emotional reactions.She also uses Client-Centred Therapy, which prioritises the person’s perspective and pace. This approach involves listening closely, reflecting what is said, and working together to set the next step that feels manageable. Mindfulness techniques and brief hypnotherapy can be added to help with anxiety, stress and bodily tension when appropriate.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and agree a plan together, adjusting methods as needed. This collaborative way helps match the approach to the issues and to how the person prefers to work.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when days are tight. It also lets people work from a quieter space, use audio-only if needed, or try video when they want face-to-face interaction.
