About Karen
Karen King is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 11 years of professional experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, depression, addictions and anger. Karen presents herself as someone who sees clients as experts in their own lives and looks to build on their existing strengths.
Her practical style focuses on helping people notice patterns and try small, manageable changes. She uses client-centred conversations to clarify what matters to each person. Sessions aim to set realistic goals and to find workable steps forward rather than long lists of tasks.
Karen also draws on solution-focused techniques to identify what has worked before and to apply those elements to current problems. Motivational interviewing is used when people want help shifting habits or finding direction, for example with addictive behaviours or career moves. Trauma-focused methods are used sensitively for people affected by past abuse or acute distress.
People come for help with relationship tensions, parenting strain, sleep and eating problems, and difficulties around intimacy and isolation. She also supports those coping with chronic pain, bereavement, hoarding and obsessive thoughts. The approach is collaborative and goal-oriented, with an emphasis on practical steps.

How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person. It helps when someone needs clearer thinking, better self-understanding, or to work through feelings that lead to anger and frustration.Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small changes that make a real difference. It concentrates on times when things are better and on repeating those moments, which can help with workplace frustration, relationship tension and managing anger triggers.
Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people find their own reasons to change. It is useful when someone is stuck with behaviours like substance use or avoidance and wants to take practical steps forward.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what has helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needed.
If you prefer online sessions, please confirm the available formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when useful, and avoid travel time. Therapists and registered professionals aim to match session length and scheduling to daily life while focusing on practical steps to handle anger and related concerns.
