Calee Litteken, BACP

Calee Litteken is a mental health counsellor and counselling supervisor based in Warwickshire, United Kingdom, originally from Texas in the United States. She brings an honest, warm and open approach to sessions, creating a space where clients can express whatever they need - whether that is anger, grief, relief, laughter or silence. Her work is integrative but largely person-centered, meaning she aims to explore each person’s perspective without presuming to know their truth, and supports clients in finding their own answers.

She is accredited through the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and completed her initial counselling training at the University of North Texas in 2017, with interests in cognitive behavioural therapy, working with adolescents and young adults, and expressive arts therapy. She also trained in LGBT affirmative therapy at Southern Methodist University and completed a conversion psychology course at Coventry University that included research on counselling self-efficacy with psychosis. In 2022 she gained a postgraduate certificate in Person-Centred Experiential Counselling from Nottingham University, began supervising in 2024, and is scheduled for Person-Centred Experiential Counselling Supervisor Training in February 2025.

Calee has worked in a range of settings, including crisis and suicide response teams, hospital liaison roles, voluntary counselling with a hospice from 2021 to 2023, NHS work supporting people with depression, and private practice. She supports clients facing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, gender and sexuality questions, relationship diversity, workplace issues, life transitions and many other concerns. She generally offers morning sessions, and may occasionally be able to accommodate other times by request, so those seeking regular evenings or weekends may prefer to explore alternative options.

Therapeutic approaches and online care options

Client-centered therapy focuses on creating an empathetic, non-judgemental environment where the client’s perspective guides the work. It helps people who want support exploring identity, relationships, self-esteem and life direction by prioritising the client’s own goals and pace.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-based approach that looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It can be helpful for anxiety, depression, panic, phobias and managing stress by teaching techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking and build coping strategies.

Existential therapy examines meaning, choice and responsibility in people’s lives, offering space to explore questions of purpose, isolation and major life transitions. It can support those feeling stuck, purposeless or overwhelmed by change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Calee works collaboratively with clients to identify what fits their needs, goals and preferences. She adapts methods over time so the work remains aligned with what the client finds most useful.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility challenges or those living outside the therapist’s immediate area. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access support from a licensed professional in ways that suit individual routines and lifestyles.
