About Karen
Karen Power is a counsellor who focuses on practical support for everyday problems. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and the ripple effects of life changes. She also offers help around relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, trauma, and men's wellbeing. Karen is a BACP therapist which means she is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and she has seven years of professional experience.
She trained to a first class honours level in counselling and uses an individualised approach in sessions. Karen listens for each person's strengths and builds on what already helps them. Conversations aim to be clear and grounded so people leave with concrete ideas they can try between meetings.
Practice draws on several well-known ways of working. Client-centred methods keep the focus on the person's view and choices. Cognitive behavioural techniques help spot unhelpful thinking patterns and test new ways of responding. Mindfulness tools support awareness of the present moment and reduce overwhelm.
Sessions are tailored to the issue and to the person's pace. Karen pays particular attention to neurodivergence, autism and ADHD related needs and adapts the work accordingly. She also helps with workplace stress, parenting strain, eating and sleeping problems, panic and social anxiety.
People who come for support can expect calm, straightforward conversation and specific strategies to try at home. Karen encourages practical steps and honest feedback so the work stays relevant to each person's life.
How Karen uses talking therapies online
Karen draws on client-centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy to guide online sessions. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's perspective and choices, helping them set the pace and topics for each meeting. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at thoughts and behaviours, offering simple experiments and practical tools to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Karen will discuss goals and preferences and try things collaboratively. Together they decide which techniques to keep, adapt or pause so the sessions feel useful and manageable.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people use mindfulness exercises and homework between meetings, so the benefits carry over into everyday life.
