About Karen

Karen Mayberry is a counsellor who supports people struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self esteem, depression and difficult life changes. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where a person can talk through painful feelings and find practical ways forward. Karen is based in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration.

She works in an integrative way that adapts to each person rather than using a single fixed method.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on what matters most to the individual and may include looking at thoughts, feelings and patterns that get in the way of feeling better. Karen pays attention to how trauma can affect the body and the nervous system. Conversations can cover a wide range of concerns including relationship difficulties, communication and commitment issues, codependency, abandonment and attachment problems.

She also supports people facing illness, substance issues, eating and food-related struggles, divorce and separation, and challenges around guilt and shame. Her style is collaborative. Karen aims to help people process experiences, make clearer choices and build coping strategies.

She keeps sessions flexible and creative so the work can change as the person’s needs change. With four years of professional experience, she continues to update her skills through extra training and pays particular attention to how traumatic experiences show up in the body and daily life.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Karen uses evidence-based techniques within an integrative framework, adapting methods to a person’s needs. One approach she often draws on looks at how trauma affects the body and nervous system; this involves noticing physical reactions, learning grounding skills and pacing conversations to reduce overwhelm. It can help with panic, flashbacks and ongoing stress responses.

A second common element is a client-centred, exploratory style that focuses on the person’s experience and choices. This involves listening without judgement, reflecting back what is heard and helping people weigh options and responses in day-to-day life. It can support confidence, decision making and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to test what helps, adjust methods over time and agree goals together. This means the approach can shift as needs and priorities change.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction when that is helpful, phone sessions can fit into a short break or suit people with limited bandwidth, and live chat or text messaging work well for quick check-ins or when writing helps to process thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family commitments and different time zones while still working with registered or accredited professionals.
