About Karen
Karen Murdock is a counsellor who helps people struggling with stress, anxiety, sleep problems, low self-esteem and depression. She supports those facing relationship troubles, grief, anger and major life changes. Karen also offers coaching-style support for career questions and helps people manage compassion fatigue and ADHD-related challenges.
Her way of working is client-centred and practical. She listens first and adapts each session to what the person brings. Some conversations look at patterns from the past. Others focus on skill-building for day-to-day coping and better sleep.
Karen combines three approaches to suit different needs. She draws on Client-Centred Therapy to hold a respectful, non-judgemental space. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is used for skills and changing unhelpful thoughts. Psychodynamic ideas help when people want to understand recurring patterns and their origins.
She has four years of professional experience and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. Karen has particular experience supporting people with chronic pain, chronic fatigue and long-term health conditions, and she understands the pressures these bring to work and family life.
The practice aims to be calm and focused. Sessions are tailored to help build self-regulation, improve communication, and strengthen emotional resilience. Prospective clients are invited to consider whether this collaborative, adaptable approach feels like a fit before booking.
Appointments follow a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and sessions are scheduled after completing a short matching questionnaire and arranging times with the therapist.
How these approaches work for online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship, which helps people feel understood and comfortable discussing sleep problems, stress and emotional pain. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, offers practical techniques to change unhelpful thinking and bedtime routines that disrupt sleep or increase anxiety. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns and past experiences that may be influencing current struggles, useful for persistent relationship or emotional issues.Working out the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That way sessions stay relevant to each person's needs and can shift over time if one way of working is not helping.
Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into busy days and fewer travel demands. Online work can make it simpler to attend shorter check-ins or to schedule appointments around work or caregiving.
