About Karen

Karen Boram is a counsellor and psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She offers a calm, steady presence for people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma, anger and depression. Karen aims to make the first steps into counselling less daunting by listening carefully and moving at a pace that suits each person.

She works in an integrative way, drawing on evidence-based techniques to shape a plan around a person’s needs.

Background and approach

Early sessions focus on understanding the immediate problem and creating small, manageable steps. The aim is to bring clarity to confusing thoughts so people can make clearer decisions. Karen pays attention to relationship and intimacy concerns, LGBT issues, grief and self-esteem.

She also offers support around avoidant and dependent personality patterns, codependency, infidelity and non-monogamous relationship challenges. Seasonal Affective Disorder and self-harm are also included in her areas of focus. Sessions combine active listening with practical ideas to reduce distress and improve day-to-day coping.

People can expect a straightforward approach that links thoughts, feelings and behaviour. Progress is reviewed and plans are adjusted as needs change. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, often abbreviated as BACP.

Sessions are offered in English and available to people in the UK and internationally via online formats.

How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions

Karen uses an integrative mix of evidence-based techniques to meet different needs. One common approach focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours to reduce anxiety and low mood; this involves practical steps and short exercises to try between sessions. Another strand concentrates on processing trauma and distress by helping people tell their story at a manageable pace and build coping skills for flashbacks, intrusive thoughts or strong emotions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to what matters most to the person, discuss possible ways of working, and agree a plan together. Approaches can be adjusted as goals change, and progress is checked regularly so the work remains relevant.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text messaging to make therapy easier to fit into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter reflections, ongoing check-ins and people who prefer writing to talking. These options help people access therapy from different locations and at times that suit them.
