About Karen
Karen King is a counsellor who brings 11 years of UK practice to her work. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or loss. Karen meets each person where they are and supports practical steps toward better sleep, mood and daily functioning.
Her approach treats the client as the expert in their life. Conversations start with what matters most right now. Karen helps people notice strengths, try small changes and build routines that suit their day-to-day life.
She uses talking approaches that focus on solutions and on healing from trauma. Sessions often look at recent patterns, short-term goals and practical coping tools. For people struggling with grief, addiction, anger or relationship and intimacy concerns, she offers a calm, steady presence and straightforward strategies.
Karen has worked across a range of presenting concerns including ADHD, obsessive behaviours, panic, and chronic pain. She also supports people facing separation, domestic violence, sexual assault and the shame that can follow those experiences. Sleep and rest difficulties are among the issues she addresses alongside mood and stress.
People who prefer clear, collaborative work tend to fit well with her style. She encourages small experiments between sessions and reviews what helps. To start, clients complete a short questionnaire and then arrange sessions to suit their availability.
How Karen’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person. It helps people feel understood and decide their own next steps, which can be useful for issues like low self-esteem, anxiety and sleep. Motivational Interviewing is about exploring what someone wants to change and building the motivation to try. It suits goals such as reducing addictive behaviours, improving routines and tackling procrastination.Deciding on an approach is a joint process. The therapist will work with the client to identify which methods fit their goals and pace. Sessions can mix elements from different approaches so the work stays practical and goal-focused.
