About Karen
Karen works with people facing anxiety, low mood, relationship struggles, overthinking, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, depression and related concerns such as attachment and abandonment, codependency, body image, and isolation. She aims to help clients understand why they think, feel and behave as they do, and to build practical skills and coping strategies tailored to each person’s situation.
Specialising in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy while practising as an integrative counsellor, Karen blends techniques from multiple approaches to develop personalised plans that reflect individual goals. Her work is grounded in empathy, respect and a belief in people’s capacity for growth. Whether someone seeks focused support for a single issue or ongoing help to explore a longer story, Karen offers a steady, collaborative presence to help uncover strengths and practical pathways forward.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Karen uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviour; this approach is commonly applied to anxiety, low mood and stress-related problems. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which prioritises empathy, respect and a collaborative relationship so that clients can explore feelings, relationships and identity at their own pace. When past trauma or abuse is part of the picture, Karen incorporates Trauma-Focused techniques aimed at helping people process distressing experiences and reduce their ongoing impact.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Karen will collaborate with each person to select and adapt methods that fit their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide practical flexibility. These options allow clients to access therapy from home, fit sessions around work or family commitments, and choose the form of communication that feels most comfortable. For many people, remote therapy makes it easier to maintain continuity of care and to try different formats as needed while working with a licensed professional.
