Karina Kaminski
Calm client-centred counselling for life changes
About Karina
Karina Kaminski is a counsellor who uses client-centred ways of working to help people feel heard and understood. She combines practical tools with a warm, non-judgemental manner. Karina aims to create a calm space where a person can talk about stress, anxiety, grief, relationships and low self-esteem.
With three years of experience, Karina has supported people facing depression, panic and trauma. She also helps people coping with life changes, compassion fatigue and parenting strain.
Background and approach
Her additional focus areas include adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, body image and caregiver stress, among others. Karina draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, mindfulness and solution-focused methods. That means conversations often include spotting unhelpful thoughts, trying small changes between sessions, and practising present-moment awareness.
Sessions are shaped around what the person wants to achieve rather than fitting them to a fixed programme. Her style is straightforward and interactive. Sessions tend to balance talking through how someone is feeling with simple, achievable tasks to try between meetings.
Karina avoids labelling and treats each person with sensitivity and respect. Karina holds NCPS as a credential and works from the United Kingdom. She offers appointments in English and does not take international clients.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

How therapeutic approaches work online
Karina uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and mindfulness approaches to guide online sessions in straightforward ways. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes between sessions, which can help with anxiety, panic and low mood. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce rumination and improve calm in day-to-day life.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. Together they adjust techniques over time so sessions stay practical and relevant to the person's life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who have limited bandwidth. Live chat and messaging can be used for shorter check-ins, brief updates or ongoing support between full sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and other responsibilities.
