About Charlotte
Charlotte McKenna is a BACP counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and parenting concerns. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through what feels difficult. Sessions are paced to each person's needs and lived experience.
She works in a person-centred way, which puts the client’s perspective first. That means she listens closely and follows what matters most to the person in front of her. Conversations focus on building understanding and clearer choices rather than coming with fixed solutions.
Background and approach
Charlotte uses trauma-focused ideas when past distress keeps affecting day-to-day life. That approach looks at how difficult events shape reactions now and supports steps to reduce their hold. Practical coping strategies are offered alongside time to process painful memories at a pace that feels manageable.
Her practice covers a wide range of concerns including grief, addiction, self-esteem, sleeping problems, anger and coping with life changes. She also works with issues such as communication problems, attachment and blended family challenges. These areas often come up in sessions and receive practical, spoken-through attention.
With three years of experience in the United Kingdom, Charlotte aims to build trust and mutual respect. She encourages clear goals and small steps people can try between meetings. This makes therapy feel purposeful and grounded in everyday life.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Charlotte uses a person-centred approach that focuses on the client's own priorities and experience. Sessions aim to follow what matters most to the person, with the counsellor listening, reflecting and helping set practical, realistic goals. This approach helps with issues like low self-esteem, relationship worries and coping with change.She also draws on trauma-focused therapy when past events continue to affect daily life. That work pays attention to how difficult experiences shape current responses and offers ways to lessen their impact through paced processing and coping strategies. It can help with trauma, grief and longer-term reactions to distress.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and Charlotte works collaboratively to agree what fits best. She will discuss goals, preferences and any concerns, and adapt the sessions over time so the method matches what the client needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone calls suit shorter or lower-bandwidth check-ins, while chat or messaging can fit quick updates or times when typing feels easier. These options offer flexibility to fit therapy around work, childcare and daily life.
