Calee Litteken is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with eight years of clinical experience. She brings a warm, honest presence to sessions and aims to make the space match each person’s needs. Her manner is straightforward and grounding, whether a client needs to cry, be angry, or simply talk things through.

Calee uses an integrative approach but leans towards person-centred work. She listens for what matters to the individual and helps people find their own answers.

Background and approach

Cognitive behavioural tools are used when helpful to address unhelpful thinking and patterns. Her interests include stress, anxiety, depression, grief and coping with life changes. She has particular focus on LGBT issues, gender dysphoria, compassion fatigue and concerns around intimacy and alternative sexual cultures.

Calee also supports people dealing with chronic illness, pain and end-of-life matters. Before practising in the UK she trained in the United States, completing counselling studies at the University of North Texas and LGBT-affirmative training at Southern Methodist University. She later completed a conversion psychology course at Coventry University and a postgraduate certificate in Person-Centred Experiential Counselling at Nottingham University.

Calee has worked in hospital liaison roles, with crisis teams, and offered counselling at a hospice. She also provides counselling for depression within the NHS and supervises other counsellors. Her approach is collaborative and steady, aiming to stick with people through awkward and painful moments.

Approaches online and how they can help

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in the room. The counsellor offers acceptance and reflection so people can explore their own feelings and decide what matters to them. This approach helps with low self-esteem, life changes and feeling stuck.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviours keep problems going. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety, panic and depressive patterns. CBT is useful when someone wants clear tools to change how they react day to day.

Choosing the right approach is often a collaborative process. The counsellor will work with the client to try methods that fit their goals and preferences, adjusting as needed. Together they decide whether to focus on feelings, practical skills or a mix of both.

Online work can be flexible and make therapy easier to fit into a busy life. Video calls recreate face-to-face interaction, phone sessions need less bandwidth, live chat allows short check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection. These options help people access therapy around work, health or travel commitments and allow different ways of communicating during the therapeutic journey.
