About Karen

Karen Young works on stress, anxiety, relationships, grief and parenting concerns using a person-centred approach. She is registered with NCPS and has 12 years of experience. Sessions are straightforward and focused on what the client brings.

Karen names herself a person-centred counsellor and keeps sessions practical and relational. She listens carefully and helps people clarify their feelings and choices. Conversations are paced to the individual so people can talk at a level they find manageable.

Her approach often looks at recent life events and long-standing patterns alike. She can help with low mood, anger, problems at work, and issues around commitment, separation or infidelity. She also supports people facing midlife change, financial stress, hoarding concerns, and certain anxiety presentations such as panic attacks or social anxiety.

Karen also draws on psychodynamic and solution-focused ideas when these suit the client. That means looking at underlying patterns that influence current feelings, while also agreeing small, practical steps people can try between sessions. The balance between reflection and action is decided together.

People come to Karen from different stages of life and with different needs. She works in English and accepts international clients. The first step is a short matching questionnaire and a scheduled first session, which helps clarify what someone wants from counselling and how to proceed.

How her approaches can work in online sessions

Person-centred work focuses on the person in front of the counsellor, helping them talk through feelings and decide what matters next. This approach supports stress, low mood, relationship concerns and parenting strains by keeping the client’s experience central.

Psychodynamic ideas look at patterns that repeat over time and how past experiences can affect current feelings. This can help when someone wants to understand why certain problems keep returning rather than just solve an immediate difficulty.

Solution-focused work concentrates on small practical steps and clear goals. It is useful for people who want brief, action-oriented conversations about specific problems such as workplace issues, money worries or short-term coping strategies.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The counsellor discusses options and will work with the client to decide what fits their needs, goals and preferences in a collaborative way.

The original biography does not specify which session formats are provided, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered and accredited professionals often use remote work to help people continue therapy alongside everyday commitments.
