About Karen

Karen McClurkin is an integrative therapist who blends multiple evidence-informed methods to create personalised care for each client. She draws on seven years of clinical experience to tailor a therapeutic approach that meets the needs of people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, grief, self-esteem concerns, addiction, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, anger, bipolar challenges, coping with life changes and ADHD.

She places particular emphasis on forming a strong therapeutic relationship where clients can explore current struggles or long-standing patterns without judgement. Her practice also extends to areas such as abandonment, attachment issues, body image, chronic pain and illness, codependency, commitment concerns, dissociation, divorce and separation, domestic violence, drug and alcohol addiction, fertility and menopause-related issues, loss of identity and experiences linked to mother and baby homes.

Karen holds BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and NCPS credentials, reflecting accredited training and professional membership within counselling bodies. She accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. Her work focuses on helping people build insight, develop practical coping strategies and move toward a more manageable and fulfilling life.

Approaches and benefits of online therapeutic care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns formed in close relationships and helps clients understand how early bonds influence current connections and emotional responses. This approach can be especially helpful for those dealing with abandonment, attachment issues or difficulties in intimate relationships.

Client-Centered Therapy places the client at the heart of the process, offering empathic listening and unconditional positive regard to support self-exploration and growth. It is well suited to people working on self-esteem, identity concerns or processing life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, useful for anxiety, mood difficulties, sleep issues and coping with stressful situations. Karen integrates these approaches collaboratively, working with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, needs and preferences rather than prescribing a single path.

Online therapy with Karen offers flexible access through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, access support from different locations and maintain continuity of care during life changes, while still working with licensed professionals to address emotional and practical challenges.
