Karen Boram
Calm practical therapy for stressful life problems
About Karen
Karen Boram is a counsellor and psychotherapist who has practised in the United Kingdom for five years. She holds BACP recognition, and she focuses on building a steady, supportive space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, trauma, anger and relationship concerns. She works at a calm pace, listening first to the story you bring.
Sessions begin with a clear plan tailored to what you need. Karen aims to help people bring more clarity to day-to-day thinking so decisions become easier to make.
Background and approach
Her work covers a broad range of difficulties including depression, self-esteem struggles, grief and intimacy-related issues. Karen also supports people dealing with sexual assault and abuse, self-harm, seasonal affective disorder and problems linked to personality styles such as avoidant, dependent or codependent patterns. People exploring non-monogamous or polyamorous relationships, concerns about infidelity, or LGBT-related topics can find practical, non-judgemental help.
She offers a steady approach for anyone facing big life changes or coping challenges. Sessions aim to reduce confusion and create steps people can use between meetings. The emphasis is on clear conversation, manageable goals and practical thinking.
Karen adapts the work to each person so it feels relevant and useful from the first few sessions.

Practical approaches for online counselling
Karen uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and clearer thinking. One approach emphasises careful listening and making a tailored plan that breaks problems into smaller steps to try between sessions; this helps when anxiety, stress or depression feel overwhelming. Another approach works with the impact of trauma and abuse by allowing people to tell their story at a pace that feels manageable while building ways to cope with triggers and strong emotions.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with each person and together they will choose methods that match the person's goals and preferences. That collaboration helps ensure the approach fits the issues being faced and the way the person likes to work.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls suit fuller conversations and visual connection, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow ongoing support between calls and can fit into busy days. These formats make it simpler to schedule therapy around work, family or travel commitments and to keep therapy consistent over time.
