About Karen
Karen Power is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with seven years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and life changes, and lists social anxiety and phobia among her focus areas.
Karen uses plain, practical conversations to help clients figure out what feels most difficult. She treats the person rather than the problem and encourages people to use their own strengths when tackling challenges. Sessions are offered in English and follow the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) ethical framework.
Her background includes a first class BA (Hons) degree in Counselling and ongoing work with a wide range of concerns. These include neurodivergence-related issues, autism and ADHD, panic attacks, grief, relationship and intimacy-related problems, and workplace stress. She also lists gender-specific concerns such as men’s and women’s mental health.
In practice Karen draws on client-centred ways of working alongside cognitive behavioural and mindfulness techniques. She often brings solution-focused ideas into sessions so people can try specific steps between meetings. Sessions tend to focus on clear goals and small, manageable changes rather than long theoretical discussion.
People who find social situations hard can expect a straightforward, paced approach. Early sessions typically clarify what the person wants to change, which methods might help, and simple exercises to practise outside sessions. The emphasis is on practical coping skills and clearer thinking about difficult moments.
How her approaches fit with online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps when someone wants space to talk and to be helped to find their own answers. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at connections between thoughts, feelings and actions and usually involves practising small skills to reduce worry or short-circuit anxious patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to help notice stressful thoughts without getting carried away.Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals, try different methods and agree what feels most useful. That collaborative process starts in the first sessions and can be adjusted as needs and preferences become clearer.
If you are considering online work, confirm the exact session formats before booking. The practical benefits of remote sessions can include fitting meetings around work or family life, shorter check-ins when needed, and not needing to travel. Some people prefer audio-only time when they do not want to be on camera, while others find video helps maintain a sense of connection. Discussing these options at the start makes it easier to choose what will fit into everyday routines.
