Karen Boram, BACP

Karen Boram is an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist practising in the United Kingdom who brings five years of professional experience to her work. She combines evidence-informed methods to support people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and anger, shaping each session around the concerns the individual brings. Karen listens carefully and without judgement, creating a calm space where clients can begin to make sense of painful or confusing experiences.

From the first meeting she aims to introduce clients to counselling in a way that feels manageable, explaining how conversations can open up new perspectives and practical ways forward. She develops a tailored counselling plan that aligns with each personâs needs and goals, focusing on clarifying thoughts and reducing uncertainty. As confusion eases, clients are better able to make considered decisions, which in turn can support positive changes in behaviour and emotional well-being.

Karen holds BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and applies an integrative approach that draws on appropriate, evidence-based techniques to meet the unique needs of each client.

Therapeutic approaches and online working with Karen Boram

Karen uses an integrative approach that blends techniques from different evidence-based traditions to suit each personâs needs. This way of working draws on practical strategies to address patterns of thought and behaviour that contribute to anxiety, low mood, and relationship difficulties, and it can be adapted to focus on present-day coping as well as processing past events.

She also applies trauma-informed techniques when working with people affected by abuse or other distressing experiences, helping clients to build safety, develop emotional regulation skills, and gradually process memories at a pace that feels manageable. These methods aim to support recovery and resilience without pushing beyond what the person is ready to face.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Karen will work with each client to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adjusting methods over time so that therapy remains a good fit. Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for arranging appointments around work, family, or travel, and make it easier for people living outside the local area to access licensed professionals. This variety of formats can help clients maintain continuity of care while fitting therapy into their daily life.
