About Karen

Karen Clarke helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and low self-esteem. She also supports those facing grief, anger issues, family problems and big life changes. Karen writes plainly and aims to make the first step easier for anyone feeling stuck.

She uses a client-centred way of working that puts the person at the centre of sessions. That means conversations are led by the client's concerns and pace, and Karen adapts how she works to each person's needs.

Background and approach

She focuses on building a respectful, non-judgemental space so people can talk through what matters to them. Sessions often look like open conversation about current problems and patterns that get in the way. Karen listens for strengths and helps people notice small, practical changes they can try between meetings.

She pays attention to communication, control issues, feelings of emptiness, and problems around money or identity that come up in everyday life. With eight years of experience and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, Karen combines steady support with straightforward tools. She believes courage is involved in asking for help and aims to make the process clear and manageable.

People who value a warm, empathetic listener and a tailored plan may find her approach helpful. Conversations can cover relationship difficulties, social anxiety, self-love, multicultural concerns and finding a clearer sense of purpose.

Ways of working Karen names

Client-Centred Therapy

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Client-centred care delivered online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person without judgement. The counsellor reflects what the client says, helps them name their feelings and supports them to find their own solutions. This approach is often useful for issues like anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship concerns and feelings of emptiness.

Because Client-Centred work is guided by the client, Karen will work collaboratively to discover which ways of working suit each person best. Together they will discuss goals, try different conversation styles, and agree on practical steps to try between sessions so therapy fits real life.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week. Video lets visual cues stay part of the conversation, phone calls need less bandwidth and can be a good short check-in, and chat or messaging can suit people who prefer writing their thoughts. These options aim to offer flexibility and easier access to therapy when and how it fits the client's routine.
