About Karen

BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with eight years of experience, Karen Clarke works with people experiencing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, low self-esteem, depression, grief and life transitions. She also focuses on communication problems, control issues, feelings of emptiness, family problems, forgiveness, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, money concerns, multicultural matters, self-love, and social anxiety and phobia.

Karen uses a client-centred therapy approach. Sessions centre on the client's perspective and priorities. She listens, reflects what clients say, and helps them make sense of their feelings and choices.

In sessions she helps people name problems and try small practical changes. Conversations can cover ways to manage strong emotions, improve communication, set boundaries, and rebuild confidence. Work often moves at the client's pace and focuses on what matters most right now.

She describes balancing gentle exploration with direct practical steps. That can include talking through relationship patterns, practising ways to respond differently to anger, or identifying personal values to guide decisions about work, money and family.

Karen asks people to choose a matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to get started. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not accepted.

Sheet 2

Client-centred practice and remote sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the client's viewpoint. The therapist listens, reflects feelings and helps clients find their own solutions. This approach is often used for stress, anxiety, self-esteem and relationship concerns because it centres the client's priorities and lived experience.

Working together involves trying different ways of talking and practical steps, then checking what helps. The therapist will discuss goals, experiment with approaches and adapt as needed. Figuring out which method fits best is a collaborative process based on the client's needs and preferences.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm which formats are offered before booking. Many people choose remote work for practical reasons - it can make it easier to fit sessions into work or family schedules, avoid travel time, or have a shorter check-in when days are busy. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt sessions to focus on emotional regulation, communication skills, and decision-making while working remotely.
