About Karen
Karen Power is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing anxiety, stress and life changes. She draws on seven years of professional experience and works from a person-focused stance that treats each client as the expert on their own life. Karen aims to make first steps feel manageable and respectful of individual strengths.
Her approach blends listening with practical tools. She uses client-centred ways of working to build trust and cognitive behavioural techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. Mindfulness and solution-focused strategies are used to help clients find small, achievable steps forward.
Karen has worked with concerns across mood, worry and relationship difficulties. She also supports people dealing with neurodivergence-related issues, including autism and attention differences, and helps with stress, sleep and panic-related problems. Her practice includes work on self-esteem, grief, anger and workplace pressures.
She holds a first-class Bachelor of Arts degree in Counselling and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP. Karen aims to tailor sessions to each person’s needs and to move at a pace that fits their situation.
Sessions focus on practical steps alongside reflective conversation. Clients can expect a collaborative process where goals are set together and progress is reviewed. Karen encourages people to notice their existing resources while developing new ways to cope and respond.
How Karen’s approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding each person without judgement and following their pace; it helps when someone needs a listening space to make sense of difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together and offers simple exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns, which can help with panic, anxiety and low mood.Deciding which approach will help most is something the counsellor does together with the client. Karen discusses goals, preferences and practical needs, then suggests whether more reflective work, skills-based CBT or short solution-focused steps are best. That choice can change as work progresses, and it will be reviewed regularly.
If you are considering online work, confirm the specific session formats available before booking as these are not listed here. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow brief check-ins when a full session is not needed. It can also use shorter activities or guided practices between meetings to support progress. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and homework so they work well in an online setting.
