Karen Power

Karen Power is a counsellor with seven years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She holds a first-class BA (Hons) degree in Counselling and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Karen aims to create a calm space where people can feel heard and understood.

She helps people facing stress, anxiety, low mood and big life changes. Karen also supports those working through issues linked to neurodivergence, including autism and ADHD, and she offers care around anger and relationship difficulties. She uses straightforward language and practical steps in conversations rather than jargon.

Karen draws on client-centred work to follow each person's pace and priorities. She also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to spot thinking patterns that feed worry and low mood, and solution-focused techniques to build short-term goals. Mindfulness exercises are offered when they suit the individual's needs.

Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She treats clients as the experts in their own lives and helps them identify strengths to move forward. Karen adapts sessions to match what each person needs at the time.

To begin, she asks people to reflect on what matters most to them and what they hope to change. From there she and the client choose practical steps to try between sessions and review progress together.

How these approaches work in online counselling

Client-centred therapy focuses on you and your priorities, with the counsellor following your lead and reflecting what matters most. It helps when someone needs space to talk and be heard without pressure.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. This approach can be useful for anxiety, low mood and anger when you want clear, step-by-step techniques.

Mindfulness therapy introduces simple attention exercises to help you notice your experience and reduce reactivity. These practices can support stress reduction and improve focus between sessions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The counsellor will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences, and will adapt the plan as progress is made.

Please confirm available session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins if needed. Discuss practical arrangements with the counsellor when you arrange your first appointment so sessions fit into everyday life.
