About Charlotte
Charlotte McKenna is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. She supports people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship and family concerns, grief, addictions, trauma and anger. Her work is aimed at adults wanting practical ways to manage strong emotions and ongoing difficulties.
She uses a person-centred approach that places the client's perspective first. Sessions focus on listening and on helping people name what matters to them. Charlotte encourages people to go at a pace that feels manageable and to notice the small steps that help reduce reactivity and overwhelm.
Trauma-focused work is part of the offering when past events continue to affect day-to-day life. This involves looking at how memories, reminders and bodily reactions maintain distress, and practising ways to respond differently. The goal is to reduce the ways past experiences hijack current relationships and mood.
In practical terms she helps people build clearer boundaries, recognise patterns that escalate anger, and develop coping strategies for stress and difficult conversations. She also supports people working through bereavement, career pressure, sleep disruption and changes in family roles.
Sessions emphasise straightforward reflection and small experiments to try between appointments. People learn ways to notice triggers, pause before reacting, and recover after a heated moment. The overall tone is calm and direct, concentrating on what can be done next rather than on labels or guarantees.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Charlotte uses client-centred work which means sessions focus on what the person brings and on supporting their own problem-solving. This approach helps people explore triggers, communication habits and emotional responses in a straightforward way. Trauma-focused therapy looks at how past events continue to affect current reactions and relationship patterns; it includes steps to reduce the intensity of those memories and to change unhelpful responses.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with the client about their goals, experiences and preferences and decide together which methods to try. That collaborative process helps shape whether sessions lean more toward reflective listening, practical skills, or trauma-focused interventions.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow for shorter check-ins during a workday, and reduce travel time. They also let people practise communication and boundary skills that translate directly into everyday situations. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly adapt these approaches to suit each person's circumstances.
