About Charlotte
Charlotte McKenna offers calm, steady support for people facing a wide range of concerns. She works with stress, anxiety and depression, and helps with relationship and family difficulties. She also supports people dealing with grief, addiction, trauma and challenges around self-esteem.
Sessions are meant to be a place to talk honestly and at your own pace. Charlotte is a BACP, which stands for British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She uses a person-centred approach, so the conversation focuses on what matters most to the client.
Background and approach
She listens for strengths, values and goals, and reflects these back so a person can find clearer direction. Alongside person-centred work, Charlotte draws on trauma-focused methods when past events are causing ongoing distress. That helps when painful memories, flashbacks or strong emotional reactions make day-to-day life hard.
She matches the way she works to each person's needs rather than following one fixed method. Sessions aim to be practical and straightforward. Charlotte will help people notice patterns, try small changes, and build coping strategies that fit their life.
She emphasises mutual respect and a steady, non-judgemental presence. With three years' experience, Charlotte primarily supports adults in the United Kingdom. She carries out appointments online by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging so people can choose what fits best with their routine and comfort.

Approaches Charlotte lists

Online support
Trauma-focused therapy looks at how past events continue to affect feelings and behaviour. It uses careful, paced work to reduce distress associated with traumatic memories and strong emotional reactions. This can help with PTSD-type symptoms, flashbacks, or when trauma makes daily life harder.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that fit a person's needs, goals and preferences rather than applying one fixed model. That means starting with the client's priorities and adjusting as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat or text-based messaging suits shorter check-ins, reflection between sessions or when typing feels more comfortable. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
