About Karen
Karen Kendall is a counsellor registered with NCPS in the United Kingdom and has three years of professional experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood, bipolar symptoms, addiction concerns or difficulties with concentration and focus. She speaks English and works with each person to build on their strengths and choices.
Taking the first step can feel daunting, and she aims to offer steady, respectful support.
Background and approach
Karen prefers straightforward, practical conversations. She listens for the patterns that make life harder and works with clients to try different ways of coping. Sessions can include talking through feelings, planning small experiments to test new habits, and practising techniques to ease distress.
The focus is on what the client wants to change and finding steps that fit their day-to-day life. She pays attention to how relationships and attachment shape a person’s difficulties. This can help when guilt, shame, loneliness or communication problems are at the root of pain.
Karen also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, questions about life purpose, and challenges common to women’s lives. Her approach is collaborative rather than prescriptive. Clients are invited to set goals and review progress together.
Karen aims to offer a calm, non-judgemental space where people can try out new ways of coping and build self-compassion. Sessions are offered online in a range of formats so people can choose what suits them best. She explains options clearly and helps clients pick a practical plan that fits their routines.

Approaches and online sessions that fit your life
Karen uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and better daily coping. One common approach is structured problem-solving and behavioural work, which breaks problems into manageable steps and tests small changes to reduce stress and low mood. This helps people who feel stuck or overwhelmed by daily demands.Another helpful approach emphasises understanding patterns in relationships and attachment. This looks at how earlier connections affect current feelings of loneliness, guilt or communication difficulties, and it can guide clearer ways of relating and self-care.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to concerns, discuss options, and together decide which techniques match the client’s goals and preferences. Plans are reviewed and adjusted as progress unfolds so therapy stays relevant and practical.
Online therapy provides flexible ways to work together. Video calls let people see each other and work closely on emotional material, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a busy day, live chat offers a shorter check-in, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to access consistent support around work, family and other commitments.
