About Karen

Karen Power welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck or unsure how to move forward. She aims to make the first steps feel manageable and respectful. Karen works to create a straightforward space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, depression and life changes without judgment.

She has a first class Bachelor of Arts degree in Counselling and seven years of professional experience. Karen is a BACP Therapist - Registered Member MBACP (Accred).

Background and approach

She follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy Ethical Framework in her work. Karen uses simple, practical approaches to help people make small changes that matter. She draws on client-centred work to focus on each person’s story and strengths.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy ideas help break down unhelpful thinking and build new ways of coping. She also includes mindfulness techniques to help people manage overwhelming feelings and stay grounded. Solution-focused methods are used when people want short-term goals and clear steps forward.

Karen says the counselling is tailored to each person rather than one-size-fits-all. Her areas of interest include neurodivergence-related concerns such as autism and ADHD, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, trauma and abuse, workplace stress, parenting stresses and problems with sleep or eating. Karen aims to work alongside each person to find practical, achievable changes.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead, helping them feel understood and supported. This approach suits people who want a therapist to reflect their concerns and build on their strengths.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions, and uses simple exercises to change patterns. CBT is often useful for anxiety, panic, low mood and unhelpful behaviours.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day coping. It can help with stress, sleep difficulties and emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that match a person's goals, needs and pace. That means trying different techniques and adapting them as progress is made.

Please confirm which session formats are available before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Many people find online sessions helpful for fitting therapy around work or family life, reducing travel time and making regular check-ins easier. Talk with the therapist about practical arrangements and how her approaches can be used effectively in your chosen format.
