About Karen
Karen Robson is a counsellor with 13 years' experience who supports people facing stress, anxiety, addiction and major life changes. She works with concerns such as depression, ADHD, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and family issues, eating and intimacy-related problems, and coping with natural or human-caused disaster. Karen is a BACP member, and she meets people in an open, non-judgemental way.
She uses an integrated, client-led style. Sessions focus on practical steps, exploring thoughts and feelings, and identifying triggers that make life harder. Karen adapts her approach to each person, bringing creativity into sessions when it seems helpful.
Her toolkit includes Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, solution-focused methods and client-centred work. She helps people set goals and build skills to manage emotions, reduce unhelpful patterns, and tackle addictive behaviours.
Karen has worked in a range of settings and with a wide variety of presenting issues. That experience informs a flexible way of working rather than a single formula. She aims to help people become more self-aware and make changes that fit their life.
People can expect a calm, accepting space where they are listened to and treated with respect. Karen offers practical support to help people understand their struggles and take steps towards feeling better.
How Karen’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience without judgement. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms such as anxiety and low mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce rumination and improve emotional regulation.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try different methods to see what fits best. That collaborative stance means plans can change as progress is made or priorities shift.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy around work and family life and removing travel time. Online work can make shorter check-ins easier and allow people to join from different locations, which is useful for international clients.
