About Charlotte
Charlotte McKenna offers support for people dealing with stress, anxiety and relationship issues, including panic disorder and panic attacks. She also helps with grief, low self-esteem, addiction concerns, sleep problems and coping with life changes. Charlotte writes plainly and listens closely so clients can bring what matters most to each session.
Charlotte works from a person-centred perspective. That means the client leads the conversation and she follows, reflecting back what she hears. Sessions focus on the person in front of her - their values, strengths and pace. She aims to create a calm space where people feel heard and respected.
Her approach also includes trauma-focused work for those affected by past harm or abuse. In this work she helps people name what happened, make sense of reactions, and find ways to feel steadier day to day. Techniques are discussed together and tailored to what the person needs right now.
Charlotte holds BACP, which indicates registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has three years' experience supporting adults with anxiety, relationship difficulties and feelings of being stuck. Clients can expect straightforward language, practical conversation and steady support.
Sessions are designed around the client’s goals. Charlotte encourages small, manageable steps and checks in on progress regularly. She aims to help people find clearer thinking, more comfortable ways of coping and a renewed sense of direction.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the centre of the work. In practice this means the therapist listens closely, mirrors what is said and helps the person explore choices and values. It can help with anxiety, relationship questions and feeling stuck.Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on the effects of past harm and on building ways to feel steadier now. This approach involves working carefully through memories and reactions and finding practical coping steps that fit everyday life.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, needs and preferences, and together they will choose or adapt methods that feel right. This is a collaborative process that can change as work deepens.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats before booking so you know what is available. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find it simpler to keep regular appointments and to bring issues from daily life straight into conversation.
