About Karl

Karl Graham is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with nine years of experience. He holds BACP accreditation and focuses on helping people who struggle with anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and motivation issues. Karl aims to create a warm and non-judgemental talking space where people can begin to feel heard.

He keeps sessions grounded and straightforward. Conversations start with what matters to the person in front of him, and then move to small, practical steps. He uses techniques from client-centred work, cognitive behavioural approaches and mindfulness to support change in day-to-day life.

Karl also helps with sleeping difficulties and problems connected to relationships, grief, parenting and career stress. He pays attention to how past attachment and abandonment experiences affect current patterns and choices. Sessions can include looking at thoughts, trying brief behavioural experiments and building emotional skills.

The practice is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Karl listens first, then suggests approaches that fit the person’s goals and circumstances. He emphasises simple tools people can use between sessions to manage stress and build better routines.

For those starting out, he encourages small steps and clear goals. He recognises that reaching out takes effort and aims to make the process as manageable as possible.

How Karl uses therapy online and by approach

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting working relationship. It helps when someone needs space to be heard and to make sense of their feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses short experiments and practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy encourages simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and day-to-day coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist listens first and then suggests methods that match a persons goals and situation. This is a collaborative process, so the person and therapist will review what helps and adjust the plan together over time.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time and allowing workday check-ins or evening appointments. Some formats are better for shorter updates or when someone prefers not to be on camera, while others suit longer therapeutic work. Please confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered.
