About Karen
Karen Boram is a counsellor and psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression and difficult life events. Karen also supports people affected by trauma, abuse and issues around anger and intimacy.
She approaches sessions at a gentle pace and spends time listening to each person’s story. The aim is to create a clear plan shaped around the individual's needs rather than a one-size-fits-all programme.
Background and approach
Early sessions introduce what counselling feels like and offer practical ways to start making changes. Therapy sessions focus on reducing confusion and bringing clarity to thoughts and feelings. Karen helps people spot patterns that keep them stuck and work out small, achievable steps forward.
That practical focus supports better decision making and more consistent changes in behaviour. She also works with concerns such as grief, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, issues connected to sexual assault and abuse, and matters linked to LGBT and non-monogamous relationships. Additional focus areas include avoidant and dependent personality patterns, codependency, infidelity and seasonal affective disorder.
Sessions are adapted to each person’s pace and needs, aiming for straightforward, everyday language and techniques people can use between meetings. The goal is to help people feel more settled, clearer about their choices, and better able to move forward.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is part of the work and will be decided together. The counsellor will listen to your concerns, discuss possible methods and suggest a plan that fits your goals and preferences. This collaborative way means the approach can be adjusted as therapy progresses.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you see and hear the counsellor for fuller conversation, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, ongoing support and people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to keep sessions regular and to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
