About Charlotte
BACP registered counsellor with seven years' experience, based in the United Kingdom. Charlotte McKean works with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions and LGBT-related concerns. She also supports people with parenting strain, intimacy-related difficulties, self-esteem problems, career stress, ADHD and compassion fatigue.
Charlotte uses a client-centred approach that keeps the person and their priorities at the core of sessions. She combines emotionally-focused work with trauma-focused methods and hypnotherapy when appropriate. Mindfulness techniques are also part of her practice to help with overwhelming feelings and repeated negative thoughts.
Sessions are described as interactive and respectful. She aims to avoid stigmatising labels and to work without judgement. In practice this means listening, reflecting feelings back and helping clients notice patterns that keep problems going.
Her background includes seven years working with clients who have experienced domestic violence, post-traumatic stress, self-harm, guilt and shame, and seasonal affective disorder. That experience informs how she responds to distress and risk in sessions.
Charlotte works collaboratively to set goals and priorities with each person. She offers coaching-style support alongside counselling when people want practical steps as well as emotional processing. English is the language offered and she accepts international clients.
To begin, people are asked to use the See online counselling options button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Fees vary by location and the service uses a cancellable subscription model.
Approaches used in online counselling and how they help
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's experience and priorities, with the counsellor listening and reflecting to help clarify feelings and goals. It suits people who want a respectful, person-led way of working and to set the pace for sessions.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and work with patterns in close relationships and emotional responses. It is often used when relationship issues, intimacy or attachment-related distress are present.
Charlotte also uses trauma-focused methods and hypnotherapy when they fit a person's needs, helping with post-traumatic stress reactions, guilt and shame, and other trauma-related difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss options, consider a client's goals and preferences, and decide collaboratively which methods to try. That discussion can change as progress is made and as different issues become clearer.
Practical benefits of having sessions remotely include easier scheduling and fitting counselling around work or family commitments. Remote sessions can allow for shorter check-ins if needed, or sessions without video where less bandwidth or a quieter setting is preferred. Confirm which session formats are available before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats.
