About Karen

Karen Robson helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports those coping with ADHD, relationship and family difficulties, trauma, grief and changes in life. Karen works with issues like eating concerns, anger, bipolar mood problems and intimacy-related worries too.

Karen has been working in counselling for 13 years and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She describes her approach as client led and flexible.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on understanding thoughts, feelings and triggers so people can make practical changes. Her practice blends practical strategies with mindfulness and talking-based work. That can mean setting clear goals, trying new coping exercises, or using creative activities in a session when it seems helpful.

The therapist adjusts methods to what each person needs rather than sticking to one fixed plan. Clients can expect a straightforward style that encourages self-awareness and small, achievable steps. Karen aims to help people build skills to manage anxiety, reduce stress and tackle addictive patterns.

She also offers support for complex issues such as trauma, bereavement and family conflict. Sessions are delivered online in a variety of formats, and Karen accepts clients from the United Kingdom and overseas. She describes herself as open-minded and non-judgemental, working alongside people to find the approach that fits their situation.

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 work well online and in sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person rather than labels. It offers a non-judgemental space where the counsellor listens, reflects and helps people discover what matters to them and what changes feel right.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together. It uses practical exercises and simple experiments to reduce anxiety, manage depression and change unhelpful patterns.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches ways to notice the present moment without getting caught up in worries. It can help with stress, emotional regulation and coping during difficult times.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Karen will discuss options and adapt techniques to fit a person's goals, preferences and everyday life in a collaborative way rather than imposing a single method.

Online sessions mean therapy can fit around work, family and travel. Video calls let people meet face to face, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or those who prefer writing. These options make it easier to keep regular contact and try different formats as needs change.
