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 style to sessions, creating a space where clients can scream, curse, cry, laugh, or simply be as they work through what matters to them. Her approach is integrative with a strong person-centred emphasis - she aims to explore each client’s perspective and feelings rather than prescribing fixed answers, supporting people to find their own way forward.

Calee is accredited with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), which recognises her training and professional standing. She completed her counselling training at the University of North Texas in 2017 with particular interests in cognitive behavioural techniques, working with adolescents and young adults, and expressive arts therapy. She pursued LGBT-affirmative therapy training at Southern Methodist University and later completed a conversion psychology course at Coventry University, where her work involved research into counselling self-efficacy with psychosis. In 2022 she gained a postgraduate certificate in Person-Centred Experiential Counselling from Nottingham University. She began supervising in 2024 and is scheduled to undertake Person-Centred Experiential Counselling Supervisor Training in February 2025.

Calee has worked across a range of settings, including crisis and suicide response teams in Texas, hospital liaison roles supporting transitions after inpatient care, voluntary counselling with the Shakespeare Hospice from 2021 to 2023, and as a counsellor for depression within the NHS alongside her private practice. Clients seek her support for many concerns, including anxiety, depression, grief and bereavement, trauma and abuse, identity and relationship questions, stress, self-esteem issues, panic attacks, and life transitions. She also works with areas such as gender dysphoria, BDSM and kink, chronic illness and pain, polyamory and non-monogamous relationships, and end-of-life concerns.

Calee primarily offers morning appointments at this time and may occasionally accommodate other times by request. Those seeking regular evenings or weekend sessions may wish to consider a different therapist who can meet those scheduling preferences.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions that fit your life

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-judgemental environment where the client’s own goals and experiences guide the work. It helps people who want to explore identity, self-esteem, relationship issues, and life purpose by prioritising empathy and the client’s perspective.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. It is often used to address anxiety, depression, panic, phobias, and stress by helping clients build coping strategies and clearer ways of responding to difficult situations.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Calee works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best. She will discuss goals, preferences, and needs and tailor the combination of person-centred, CBT, or existential perspectives to support those aims. This collaborative planning helps clients feel more confident about how therapy will proceed.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care across locations and life changes, allowing registered professionals to provide consistent support in ways that suit each client’s routine and access needs.
