About Karen
Karen King is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 11 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, motivation, self-esteem and related concerns. Karen works from approaches listed as Client-Centred, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused and Trauma-Focused Therapy.
She treats each person as the expert on their own life. Sessions are set up to explore strengths, practical options and small steps forward. Karen aims to help people gain clarity and build confidence when things feel stuck.
Her work often centres on immediate problems such as panic, low mood, relationship strain and difficulties with sleep or appetite. She also supports people through big life changes like separation, career shifts, chronic illness or recovery from abuse. Practical coping strategies are offered alongside space to process painful experiences.
Karen uses a client-centred stance combined with motivational techniques to help people find reasons to change. Solution-focused ideas are used to identify achievable next steps and set short-term goals. Trauma-focused methods are included when past events remain distressing and continue to affect day-to-day life.
Sessions tend to be conversational and goal oriented. People can expect to talk through what matters most, try out small experiments between meetings, and review progress together. To confirm current session formats and practicalities, readers should check the booking options before arranging a first appointment.

Therapeutic approaches and remote work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters most to the person. It helps when someone needs to make sense of their feelings and decide what they want to change. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people find personal reasons to try new behaviours and overcome ambivalence about change. Solution-Focused Therapy looks for practical next steps and small experiments that can produce visible progress between sessions.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or has not helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and review how well those approaches are working as therapy progresses.
Confirm the session formats available before booking, as the profile does not specify formats. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around school, work or medical needs, and it can reduce travel time. Some ways of meeting may be better for shorter check-ins, while others suit longer conversations or when written reflection is helpful. Discuss practical arrangements at the start to make sessions fit everyday life.
