About Karen

Karen Power greets people with a straightforward, calm approach. She aims to make the first contact easy to manage for someone who is worried or tired. Karen explains things in everyday language and focuses on what matters most to each person.

Karen has seven years of professional experience and holds a first-class BA (Hons) degree in Counselling. She is a BACP therapist, which means she follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy Ethical Framework. She works from a place of respect for the person's own knowledge of their life.

In sessions she helps people talk through stress, anxiety and low mood. She also supports people coping with life changes, grief, relationship or intimacy-related issues, and difficulties around parenting and work. Sleeping and eating concerns are included among the topics she can address.

Karen pays attention to neurodivergence and has specialist knowledge around autism and ADHD. She offers tailored counselling that aims to match each person's needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method. Her style is practical and collaborative.

People can expect a working partnership where the therapist listens, reflects, and tries out helpful steps together. The focus is on small, achievable changes that fit into everyday life. Karen encourages strengths already present while helping to find new ways forward.

How Karen uses therapy approaches online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. The therapist reflects what is said and helps the person find their own solutions, which can be useful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship concerns and grief.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect. It uses simple, structured techniques to reduce worry, panic and low mood and to improve sleep and daily routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Karen will discuss goals and preferences and adapt methods to what feels most useful. That means trying things out and adjusting over time in a collaborative way.

Please check which session formats are offered before booking, as the profile does not list formats explicitly. Online options can often make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can work with practical tools and homework that slot into everyday life, helping people test changes between sessions.
