About Karen
Karen Young is a person-centred counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety and panic symptoms. She also supports those coping with relationship strain, grief, low mood and life changes. Karen is warm and open, and she aims to provide a calm space for people to talk about what is troubling them.
Karen brings 12 years of experience to her work and uses a straightforward, non-judgemental approach. She listens closely and reflects what matters most to each person. This helps people feel heard and begin to spot small steps they can take in day-to-day life.
Her practice draws on client-centred ideas alongside psychodynamic thinking and solution-focused techniques. That means conversations can range from exploring how past patterns affect the present, to setting practical goals and testing simple changes between sessions.
People often contact Karen about parenting pressures, workplace stress, self-esteem struggles and relationship worries such as commitment issues or separation. She also supports those dealing with hoarding concerns, money worries, seasonal mood shifts and social anxiety.
Sessions are conducted in English and Karen accepts international clients. She describes herself as empathetic and steady, aiming to stay alongside people as they work out who they are and where they want to go. To begin, she encourages a first step of making contact and describing what feels hard right now.
How her approaches work in online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on giving people space to speak without judgement, with the therapist reflecting feelings and supporting self-discovery. This can help with anxiety, panic symptoms and low mood by letting someone explore what matters in their own words.Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that come from past experiences and how they appear now. Talking through those patterns can make it easier to understand repeated reactions in relationships or at work and reduce their hold over daily life.
Solution-Focused Therapy emphasises small, practical steps and realistic goals. It is useful for people who want short-term plans to manage stress, parenting pressures or workplace issues.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about their needs and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That plan can change as progress is made or new priorities appear.
If you are considering online therapy, check the available session options before booking. Confirming formats helps match sessions to a routine and makes it easier to fit therapy around work, family or study. Online sessions can reduce travel time and make it simpler to have regular check-ins or brief progress-focused meetings as needed.
