About Karen
Karen Power is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who focuses on helping people who are feeling stressed, anxious or overwhelmed. She is a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy member and brings seven years of professional experience to her work. Karen aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and respectful of each person's pace.
She believes the client is the expert in their own story and builds sessions around individual strengths. Sessions are shaped to suit the concerns someone brings, whether that is coping with life changes, low mood, relationship problems or difficulties with self-esteem. Karen also works with people affected by trauma, grief, eating and sleeping issues, and compassion fatigue.
Her practice pays attention to neurodivergent experiences and she has developed specialist knowledge around autism and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. She also helps people facing workplace stress, parenting strains, issues around intimacy, and common anxieties such as panic and social phobia.
Karen draws on Client-Centred Therapy alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, mindfulness and solution-focused methods to tailor each session. That can mean talking through what matters most, trying practical exercises, or focusing on small steps that feel achievable. She keeps language straightforward and aims for clear, realistic goals.
Clients start by using the site's Start Therapy button and completing a short matching questionnaire. Appointments are then scheduled according to the therapist's availability and the subscription arrangements that the service uses.
How Karen’s approaches translate to online counselling
Karen works from a person-centred base that starts by hearing the client's experience and priorities. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and helping clients name what matters most, which can be especially useful for people needing space to think through stress, relationship strain or grief.She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in sessions when practical strategies are needed. CBT involves spotting unhelpful thought patterns and trying small, structured exercises to change how someone reacts to anxiety, panic or low mood. Mindfulness Therapy is used to teach simple attention and breathing practices that help with stress and sleep problems.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will help clients decide which methods suit their goals, preferences and everyday life, and will adapt the plan as needs change. This is a collaborative process tailored around each person's strengths.
If you want to try online counselling, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work or family commitments, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often offer arrangements that help therapy slot into a busy week without extra strain.
