About Karen
Karen Power is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with seven years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression and life changes, and lists a range of related concerns including anger, relationships, self-esteem and neurodivergence.
Karen follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) Ethical Framework and holds a First Class BA (Hons) in Counselling. She frames the person as expert in their own story and looks for strengths clients can use when managing difficult feelings or situations.
In sessions she draws on client-centred ways of working alongside cognitive behavioural and mindfulness ideas. That means listening to what matters most to the client, noticing patterns of thought and behaviour, and practising small changes and techniques between meetings.
She also uses solution-focused methods to set practical, short-term goals. These tools are aimed at reducing distress from issues such as sleep problems, work stress, panic and relationship strain, and at helping people make manageable changes in day-to-day life.
Karen notes particular experience with autism and attention‑difference concerns, and with men's and women's mental health themes. She aims to adapt conversations and practical strategies so they fit each person's routine and preferences.
If someone is unsure where to start she encourages a first short discussion to outline goals and decide a clear way forward. The emphasis is on straightforward steps and steady progress rather than quick fixes.
How sessions work
Approaches you can use in online sessions
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding the client's perspective. The counsellor follows what matters to the client and helps them organise their thoughts and priorities. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and introduces practical exercises to reduce anxiety, anger and unhelpful routines. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to help calm high emotion and improve focus.Choosing the best approach is collaborative. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and try ways of working that fit the person's needs. That process may involve checking which exercises feel useful and adjusting techniques over a few sessions.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare or travel. It can also allow shorter check-ins, or sessions without being on camera, which can help reduce stress for some people. Registered or accredited professionals adapt the structure so therapy fits into everyday life while staying focused on practical steps and goals.
