About Karen

Karen King is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 11 years of practice. She focuses on helping people handle stress, anxiety, grief, depression and relationship or intimacy-related problems. She also supports those facing addiction, burnout and challenges around self-esteem or motivation.

Her approach starts from the idea that each person knows their life best. She listens without judgement and helps people notice strengths they can use. Sessions aim to be practical and rooted in what matters to the client now.

Background and approach

Karen draws on client-centred work to make people feel heard and respected. She combines this with solution-focused tools to set clear, manageable goals. Trauma-focused methods are used when past harm is affecting daily life.

People come to her for a wide range of concerns, including panic, post-traumatic stress, ADHD-related struggles, chronic illness, parenting strain and career questions. She also addresses issues such as hoarding, shame, sexual assault and bereavement. Sessions can use different formats to suit lifestyles, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging.

Karen encourages a steady pace and practical steps so progress feels manageable.

Ways of working Karen names

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

Approaches that guide online sessions

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist creates a space where a person can speak freely and be heard. This helps when someone needs to make sense of feelings like anxiety, grief or low self-esteem.

Motivational interviewing is a practical, respectful way to explore change. It helps people find their own reasons to shift habits or work towards goals, which can be useful for addiction, career moves or motivation struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Karen will talk with each person about their needs and goals, and together they decide which methods to try. That collaborative process means plans are tailored and can change as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation, while phone calls use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat and text offer shorter check-ins and ongoing written reflection. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around family, work and other commitments.
