About Charlotte
Charlotte McKenna is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression and relationship strain. She also supports those dealing with grief, addiction, trauma and difficulties with self-esteem. Charlotte works with a wide range of everyday problems, from sleep issues and parenting stress to career worries and anger.
She is based in the United Kingdom and communicates in English. Charlotte uses a person-centred approach that places the client at the heart of each session.
Background and approach
She listens without judgement and encourages people to lead the pace and focus of their work. This approach aims to make people feel heard and respected while they sort through difficult feelings. She also draws on trauma-focused methods when past harms affect current life.
That means identifying how distress from earlier events shows up now and finding ways to reduce its hold. Sessions can include grounding and practical steps to manage upsetting memories and strong reactions. Charlotte has three years of experience practising as a counsellor and holds BACP accreditation.
She has worked with adults facing issues such as family problems, communication difficulties, and chronic illness. Her background supports a calm, steady style in sessions and a focus on practical coping skills. Therapy with Charlotte is collaborative and paced to the individual.
People can expect straightforward conversation, reflective listening, and simple tools to try between meetings. The aim is to help people make clearer choices and feel more able to move forward.

Approaches Charlotte lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
She also uses trauma-focused therapy when past events continue to cause distress. That approach looks at how difficult memories affect everyday feelings and behaviour, and then introduces practical strategies to reduce their impact and build tolerance for strong emotions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and will usually be decided together. The counsellor will talk about options, listen to what feels most helpful, and adapt methods to the client’s goals and preferences so work feels collaborative rather than fixed.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their life. Video is close to an in-person meeting, phone needs less bandwidth, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and messaging allows ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family or mobility needs.
