About Karen
Karen Power is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with seven years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and self-esteem difficulties, and anger. She also supports those managing neurodivergence-related concerns such as autism and ADHD.
Her style treats the client as the expert on their life. She draws on client-centred ways of working to listen and help people make sense of what they are facing. She uses cognitive behavioural approaches to look at patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going.
Karen also brings mindfulness techniques to help people notice what is happening in the moment without getting swept away by it. Solution-focused methods are used to identify small, practical steps that can reduce tension and make day-to-day life easier. These are mixed during sessions depending on what a person needs that week.
She has particular interest in issues around communication, control, workplace stress and the emotional strains of parenting and separation. Karen describes strengths and lived experience as useful resources people can build on when working through anger or frustration.
Sessions begin by clarifying goals and what the person hopes to change. From there she helps set clear, achievable steps and reviews progress regularly. The approach is straightforward and practical, aimed at helping people manage strong feelings and reduce conflict in important relationships.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centred work focuses on listening and helping people make sense of their feelings. Online sessions can be used to reflect on what triggers anger and explore personal strengths that aid change.Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. In an online session this can mean identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practising different responses between meetings to reduce reactivity.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention skills to notice tension and rumination. Used online, these techniques can help with grounding during a stressful day and lowering the build-up of anger.
Deciding which mix of approaches to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the person’s needs, and review what helps most as work progresses.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting conversations into a busy week and reducing travel time. If you plan to try online work, confirm the specific session formats before booking so you know how meetings are arranged. Many people find that remote sessions let them check in more consistently and practise skills between meetings.
