About Charlotte
Charlotte McKean is a counsellor who focuses on helping people who are struggling with depression and related difficulties. She offers a warm, accepting presence and aims to make sessions feel straightforward and human. Her style is interactive and respectful, so clients can talk through what matters to them without feeling judged.
She has seven years of practice and works from a client-led outlook. That means sessions are shaped around the person's goals and pace rather than a fixed formula.
Background and approach
Charlotte uses a mix of approaches to match different needs, switching between conversational work, emotional processing and mindfulness-based exercises as needed. People come to her with stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and relationship problems, among other concerns. She also supports those dealing with addiction, compassion fatigue, difficulties around intimacy, parenting strains and career stress.
Additional areas she has focus on include domestic violence, guilt and shame, post-traumatic stress, seasonal affective disorder and self-harm. Her sessions aim to help clients notice patterns, learn coping moves and practise ways of relating that feel better. She uses techniques from emotionally focused work and trauma-informed methods when emotions need careful attention.
Hypnotherapy and mindfulness tools are also available for relaxation and changing unhelpful thinking. Charlotte works with people across the United Kingdom and accepts international clients. Sessions are offered in English and take place online through video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging.
If someone wants to begin, they complete a short matching questionnaire and then book sessions according to the therapist's schedule.

Online support
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at patterns in close relationships and strong emotions. It helps people notice how they react in important relationships and practise new ways of connecting and expressing needs. EFT is useful for resolving hurt, improving intimacy and managing relationship-related anxiety.
Finding the right way to work together is part of the therapy process. The therapist will discuss different approaches and agree on what feels helpful, adjusting methods as progress is made. This collaborative way makes sure sessions match goals, comfort and practical needs.
Online sessions offer flexibility for different lives and schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that helps. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or a screen is not wanted. Live chat and text-based messaging provide shorter check-ins or written reflection between longer sessions. These options help therapy fit around work, caring duties and travel, while keeping the focus on practical progress.
