About Karen
Karen Young is a NCPS counsellor in the United Kingdom with 12 years of practice. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, depression, parenting strains, anger, self-esteem issues and life changes including social anxiety and phobia.
She offers straightforward, person-centred sessions that focus on listening and understanding. Conversations are paced to suit the individual and to make coming to therapy less daunting. Karen aims to help people say what feels hard to say and to clarify what they want next.
Her approach draws on Client-Centred Therapy alongside psychodynamic and solution-focused ideas. That means time is given to how past patterns affect current feelings, while also looking for small practical steps that can reduce distress. Sessions balance exploring underlying issues and trying short, manageable changes between meetings.
People often come with relationship or family tension, or with sudden life shifts such as separation, midlife change or workplace stress. Karen also supports those coping with panic attacks, seasonal mood changes, hoarding concerns, infidelity and money worries. She works with women’s issues and parenting challenges as well.
Her style is plain and direct. She listens without judgement and helps clients map out priorities and next steps. To begin, people are invited to consider what matters most to them and to set small goals for the first sessions.
Approaches in online sessions and what they do
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person. It helps people feel heard and make choices about their next steps. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns from earlier life that shape how someone reacts now, which can be useful for repeating relationship or anxiety patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy aims for small, practical changes and goals that can reduce distress between sessions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped in the past. That way the plan for sessions is a collaborative decision and can change as needs become clearer.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options here. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time around work and family commitments. Registered or accredited professionals can offer a mix of reflection and practical tasks to suit each person’s life and timetable.
