Calee Litteken, BACP

Calee Litteken is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with eight years of experience. She trained in the United States and completed further postgraduate study in the UK. Calee holds BACP registration, which indicates professional membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Her sessions are described as honest, warm and open. She aims to make the therapy space flexible so clients can express anger, sadness, laughter or quiet reflection. Calee does not assume she knows what is best for someone; she helps people explore their own perspectives and find answers that work for them.

Calee blends several approaches with an emphasis on person-centred care. She draws on cognitive behavioural ideas and existential thinking when they suit a client's needs. Sessions tend to focus on what matters to the individual and on practical steps they can try between meetings.

Her background includes training at the University of North Texas and postgraduate study at Nottingham University. She has experience working in crisis response, hospital liaison roles and in hospice bereavement support. She also provides counselling for depression within the NHS and began supervising other counsellors in 2024.

People bring many kinds of concerns to her, including stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma, self-esteem and identity questions. She has specialist interest in gender, sexuality and relationship diversity, plus focused knowledge of kink and alternative sexual cultures. Calee accepts international clients and offers sessions in English.

How Calee's approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's experience and aims to create an accepting space where clients can explore feelings and values. This approach helps people clarify what matters to them and make choices that fit their life.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It offers practical tools and exercises to reduce anxiety, manage mood and break unhelpful patterns between sessions.

There is also an existential perspective that helps people think about meaning, purpose and big life questions. This can be useful when someone feels stuck, empty or unsure about direction.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and agree a plan together. This collaborative exploration means techniques are chosen to fit the individual rather than imposed.

Online sessions give practical flexibility. Video calls enable face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter check-ins and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, travel and busy lives while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
