Calee Litteken , BACP

Calee Litteken is a counsellor with eight years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She holds accreditation with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Calee offers a warm, honest presence in session and aims to make the space match what each person needs, whether that means crying, laughing or simply sitting with difficult feelings.

She usually draws on a person-centred way of working that listens first to the client's experience. Calee also uses elements of cognitive behavioural ideas and existential thinking when they suit the issue at hand. This means sessions are guided by what matters to the client rather than a fixed checklist of techniques.

People reach out to Calee for many reasons, including stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma and life changes. She also supports matters connected to gender and sexuality, including LGBT concerns, gender dysphoria, non-monogamous relationships and body image. She is experienced in talking about complicated sexual cultures such as BDSM and kink alongside broader relationship and identity questions.

Her background includes work with crisis teams, hospital liaison roles and counselling in hospice settings, as well as NHS work supporting people with depression. That mix gives practical experience with urgent and longer-term difficulties, and with transitions such as illness, bereavement and end-of-life issues.

Calee offers sessions in English and accepts clients from outside the UK. She uses several online formats so people can choose what fits their life and needs.

How Calee's approaches work online

Calee works largely from a person-centred or client-centred framework, which means sessions begin with the client's story and priorities. The counsellor listens closely and helps people find their own answers rather than prescribing solutions. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, is used for practical patterns such as anxious thoughts and unhelpful behaviours; it offers simple skills and exercises to try between sessions. Existential therapy supports people facing big life questions about meaning, purpose or loss and encourages honest reflection about values and choices.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Calee will talk with each person about what feels most useful, try different ways of working, and adapt the balance of listening and practical tools to fit goals and preferences. The plan can be reviewed and changed as therapy progresses.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and geography. Video is useful for fuller conversations, phone calls suit people with limited bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera, and messaging or chat can be used for brief check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options give flexibility so people can choose what works for them.
