About Karen
Karen Murdock is a counsellor registered with BACP and NCPS and has four years' experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief and trauma, and supports those coping with sleep problems, low self-esteem and life changes such as career shifts or separation.
Her sessions are straightforward and conversational. She draws on client-centred work to listen closely and help people speak about what matters most. She also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time, and cognitive behavioural techniques to try practical ways of changing thoughts and behaviours.
Karen pays particular attention to how long-term health issues, chronic pain or caregiving pressures affect mood and daily life. She will talk through how emotions, physical symptoms and practical demands interact. This can help people spot unhelpful cycles and test small changes.
In a typical session she offers clear, calm feedback and simple exercises when useful. Sessions can include talking about past experiences and current problems, as well as planning steps to manage anxiety, sleep or stress. Karen also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment or communication problems.
She works in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English. The practice uses a subscription model for sessions which can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How her approaches work for online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on careful listening and reflecting what the person says. It helps people feel understood and decide what matters to change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect and uses practical exercises to test new ways of coping. Psychodynamic Therapy pays attention to repeating patterns and past experiences that influence present behaviour.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before. Together they decide which mix of listening, practical exercises or pattern work fits best for the person and the issue at hand.
The original profile did not list session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some formats need less bandwidth or let a person take a quick session between commitments, while others may allow longer, deeper conversations. Registered or accredited professionals can guide which format will suit a person's goals and daily routine.
