Calee Litteken , BACP

Calee Litteken is a mental health counsellor and counselling supervisor based in Warwickshire in the United Kingdom, originally from Texas in the United States. She works in an honest, warm, and open manner, creating a space where clients can express whatever they need - whether that means crying, laughing, shouting, or simply sitting with difficult thoughts. Her practice is integrative in nature but leans toward a person-centred approach, which places the client's own perspective and values at the heart of the work.

Calee blends person-centred listening with cognitive behavioural and existential ideas to help clients explore feelings, patterns, and meaning. She focuses on supporting people to find their own answers and to move through awkward, painful, or frightening moments with consistent professional presence. As an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP), she meets recognised professional standards in the UK.

Her training includes counselling studies at the University of North Texas, LGBT-affirmative training at Southern Methodist University, a conversion psychology course at Coventry University, and a postgraduate certificate in Person-Centred Experiential Counselling from Nottingham University in 2022. Calee began supervising in 2024 and is scheduled to undertake Person-Centred Experiential Counselling Supervisor Training in February 2025. Her experience spans crisis and suicide response work, hospital liaison roles, voluntary hospice counselling with Shakespeare Hospice from 2021 to 2023, NHS work for depression, and private practice.

She has supported clients with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, phobias, trauma and abuse, grief and pre-bereavement, gender identity and sexuality matters, self-esteem, workplace issues, life transitions, sleep problems, and feelings of meaninglessness. Calee also works with diverse relationship styles and sexual cultures, including BDSM and non-monogamy, and offers help around chronic illness, body image, and compassion fatigue.

Therapeutic approaches and online options with Calee Litteken

Client-centred therapy focuses on providing a respectful, non-directive space where the client is treated as the expert on their own life; this approach helps when someone needs understanding, validation, and support to clarify values and choices. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) works by identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, and it can be helpful for anxiety, depression, panic, and practical coping strategies. Existential therapy invites exploration of meaning, responsibility, and life direction, and it can support people facing life transitions, feelings of emptiness, or questions about purpose.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Calee collaborates with clients to determine which methods fit best with their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques over time so the work remains relevant and client-led. This collaborative stance helps tailor sessions to what matters most to each person.

Online therapy with Calee is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexible ways to engage that suit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to attend sessions from home or while traveling, reduce commute time, and allow continuity of care for international clients or those with mobility or health constraints. Licensed professionals, including therapists, can effectively use these formats to support progress and accommodate changing life demands.
