About Karen

Karen Young is an NCPS counsellor in the United Kingdom with 12 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting pressures and issues with self-esteem. Sessions are described as person-centred in style and focus on helping people talk through what is troubling them.

She aims to make the first step into therapy easier and less confusing. Karen listens without judgement and helps people identify what matters to them right now. Conversations focus on immediate concerns and practical ways to manage feelings day to day.

Her approach draws on client-centred methods that place the person’s experience at the centre of work. She also uses psychodynamic ideas to help people understand patterns from the past. Solution-focused techniques are used to set reachable goals and notice small changes between sessions.

People bring a wide range of issues to sessions, including commitment concerns, separation and divorce, hoarding, infidelity, midlife questions, money worries, panic attacks, seasonal affective disorder, social anxiety, women’s issues and workplace stress. Karen describes her work as staying alongside clients while they consider possibilities and next steps.

Sessions are conducted in English. International clients are accepted. Practical arrangements such as session formats and scheduling are confirmed when booking, so people are asked to check current options before they book.

Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the See online therapy options button.

How her approaches shape remote work

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s perspective. In remote sessions this means time is given for people to describe what matters most and to feel heard. It can help with anxiety, low mood and relationship concerns by centring the client’s experience.

Psychodynamic therapy looks at emotional patterns that come from earlier relationships and life events. Online discussions can explore recurring themes and how they affect present choices, which is useful for issues like commitment, infidelity and repeated conflicts.

Solution-focused work concentrates on small, practical steps and measurable goals. This approach suits people who want short-term, goal-oriented sessions to manage stress, parenting challenges, workplace issues or coping strategies.

Choosing the right method is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and agree a way of working that fits the client’s needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and approaches can be combined or adjusted over time.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. People often find remote sessions help fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can use remote work to maintain continuity of support when in-person meetings are difficult.
