About Karen
Karen Clarke is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has eight years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, anger, low self-esteem and depression, and also supports those facing grief and life changes.
She uses a client-centred approach that keeps conversations focused on the person in front of her. Sessions are conversational and practical. Karen listens to what matters to each person and helps them find clearer ways to express themselves and manage distress.
Many clients come with problems around communication, control issues, feelings of emptiness, or loneliness. Karen also works with people facing money worries, multicultural concerns, forgiveness questions and struggles to find purpose. Social anxiety and phobia are listed among her focus areas when meeting people who find social situations hard.
In sessions she pays attention to what is getting in the way of everyday steps forward. The work may look like talking through recent events, testing out small changes, or practising new ways of responding in social settings. She keeps language plain and practical so people can use ideas between sessions.
Her practice is based in the United Kingdom and she offers help in English. To start, a simple online matching form is used to schedule a first meeting and agree next steps.
How client-centred work adapts to online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the centre. The counsellor listens carefully and reflects what she hears to help a person make sense of their feelings. This approach can help with anxiety, relationship difficulties and low self-esteem by making it easier to name problems and try small changes.Online sessions keep the same conversational tone as in-person work. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit each person's needs and goals. Finding the right approach is part of the process, and adjustments are made as progress and preferences become clearer.
Please confirm the session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list formats explicitly. Online work can be practical for people balancing busy days - it can reduce travel, make it easier to fit appointments into a work break, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. For some, it also lets them focus on the conversation without needing extra preparation for leaving home. Registered or accredited professionals offer these options and help clients pick what fits their routine best.
