About Karen

Karen Atwill is a counsellor with 25 years of experience who helps people dealing with stress and anxiety, depression, relationship struggles and parenting pressures. She also supports those coping with trauma, grief, intimacy problems, anger, low self-esteem and major life changes. People looking for help with ADHD, bipolar difficulties, career stress or money worries can bring those concerns too.

Karen aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can speak openly.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on listening first, then on practical steps that fit each person’s life. She encourages small changes that build confidence and reduce overwhelm. Her style draws on client-centred work that places the person’s experience at the heart of therapy.

She also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns from the past, and narrative techniques to help people rewrite difficult stories. Mindfulness practices are brought in when useful to reduce stress and increase focus. Karen’s approach suits people who want both talking therapy and practical tools.

She works collaboratively, helping clients set clear, realistic goals and checking progress along the way. Therapy can be steady weekly work or shorter-term problem-focused sessions depending on need. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP.

Karen offers sessions from the United Kingdom and can work with people internationally in English.

How Karen’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding each person’s experience and building a trusting connection. It helps people who need a listening space to sort out feelings and make their own choices. Jungian and psychodynamic ideas look at patterns from earlier life that repeat today and help make sense of emotional difficulties. These approaches can be useful for relationship issues, attachment concerns and long-standing unhappiness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Karen will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together they decide which methods to try. This collaborative planning can change as therapy progresses and new priorities emerge.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues for fuller conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, quick reflections between sessions, or people who process better in writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caring commitments and busy lives while keeping the focus on steady progress with agreed goals.
