Compassionate, practical therapy for everyday challenges
About Charlotte
Charlotte McKean offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed or stuck. She meets each person with a warm, accepting presence and aims to create space to talk through difficult thoughts and emotions. Her approach focuses on what matters most to the individual and on small, achievable steps forward.
With seven years of practice, Charlotte brings steady experience to common concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress and grief. She also works with trauma and abuse, domestic violence, self-harm and addiction-related difficulties.
Background and approach
Other areas she addresses include relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting strains, career concerns, low self-esteem, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Charlotte uses a collaborative, client-centred style that encourages people to guide the pace and goals of therapy. She combines emotionally-focused techniques that help name and process feelings with practical mindfulness and trauma-focused methods when useful.
Hypnotherapy may be offered as part of the toolkit where it fits the person’s needs. Sessions aim to be interactive and respectful. Charlotte avoids stigmatising labels and treats people with sensitivity and compassion.
She helps clients build coping skills, reflect on patterns in relationships, and make changes that feel manageable. Charlotte is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works from the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English.
If someone prefers to begin online, she offers a range of remote formats to suit different routines.

How Charlotte’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s priorities first and focuses on listening, empathy and collaboration. Online sessions using this approach help people set goals and move at a comfortable pace while the therapist follows the person’s lead.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps name and work with strong emotions that affect relationships and wellbeing. In remote sessions this can look like exploring patterns of feeling and interaction, then practising new ways of responding in everyday life.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce stress and increase present-moment awareness. These techniques are easy to practise between sessions and can be guided during video or phone meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about needs, goals and preferences and choose methods together. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that feels sensible and manageable.
Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging - offer different practical benefits. Video is useful for fuller conversation and exercises, phone calls work well when lower bandwidth is needed, live chat suits quick check-ins, and text messaging can support ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
