About Charlotte
Charlotte McKenna helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship and family difficulties, grief, addiction, trauma and many life changes. She works with issues such as parenting strain, sleep problems, anger and career worries. She also supports people dealing with compassion fatigue, intimacy concerns and the fallout of separation or loss.
Charlotte is a BACP, which means she is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She brings three years of professional experience and prefers a calm, person-centred approach.
How Charlotte works
Sessions are conversational and paced to the client rather than following a fixed timetable. Her work draws on client-centred therapy, which puts the person’s experience first. That means listening closely, reflecting feelings, and helping people find their own solutions.
She also uses trauma-focused methods when past hurt needs careful attention and processing. In sessions Charlotte focuses on practical steps and clearer understanding. She helps people notice patterns, try smaller changes and build coping tools that fit everyday life.
The aim is to make progress that feels relevant and doable. Charlotte offers a range of session formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. People interested in starting can complete a short matching questionnaire to connect and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

Online support options
Approaches used online and what they offer
Client-centred therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the work. The therapist listens, reflects and helps people find their own answers. This approach can help with anxiety, low self-esteem and decision-making by focusing on what matters to the client.Trauma-focused therapy looks at how painful events affect feelings and behaviour now. It uses careful, paced work to help people process past harm and reduce its impact on daily life. This can be useful for those coping with abuse, loss or ongoing distress related to earlier events.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work itself. The therapist and client will talk about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then agree a plan together. That collaborative process means adjustments can be made as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by registered or accredited professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a fuller face-to-face feel, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging suits brief check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments, and they allow continuity even when circumstances change.
