About Charlotte
Charlotte McKenna is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem, anger and other life challenges. Sessions are offered in English and focus on what the person brings to the room.
Her approach is person-centred, which means she listens first and follows the client's lead. Conversations stay practical and straightforward. Charlotte aims to help people name what is happening, spot unhelpful patterns, and try different ways of coping.
She also uses trauma-focused work when past events are getting in the way of day-to-day life. That work looks at how earlier experiences affect feelings and behaviour now, and it moves at a pace the client can manage. The focus is on reducing distress and building clearer ways of responding to triggers.
Charlotte supports people with a wide range of concerns, including parenting pressures, sleep problems, addictions, career stress, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses issues such as attachment, body image, chronic illness, and separation. The aim is to help people bring more control over mood and reactions, including anger and resentment.
To start, a person completes a short questionnaire and then schedules a first session. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Prospective clients should confirm the current session options before booking.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the person says. Online sessions keep that same simple flow - the counsellor listens, reflects, and helps the client find their own next steps. This approach is useful for stress, low mood, relationship difficulties and anger that comes from everyday pressures.Trauma-Focused Therapy looks at how past events affect present reactions and coping. In online sessions this work can involve talking through memories, noticing triggers, and practising different responses. It is often used for people who find past experiences resurfacing in daily life or relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss what feels most useful and adjust methods to match the client's goals, needs and comfort level. That decision is collaborative and may change over time as progress is made.
If you plan to meet online, confirm the session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online sessions can help fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and make it easier to attend from different locations. Some formats also mean shorter check-ins or sessions without video, which can be helpful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter setting is needed.
