About Karen
Karen Clarke helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood, or problems in their relationships. She supports those dealing with anger, low self-esteem, grief and major life changes. Karen aims to make starting therapy feel straightforward and doable for people who are worried or unsure.
Karen uses a calm, respectful approach that puts the person at the centre of sessions. She listens carefully and adapts conversations to each person’s needs.
Background and approach
Clients can expect practical conversation focused on what matters to them right now, and steps they can try between sessions. Her background includes eight years of professional experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That work has included helping people sort communication problems, control issues, feelings of emptiness, and difficulties around family matters.
She also supports people facing life purpose questions, money and financial stress, multicultural concerns, social anxiety and loneliness. Karen works to create a non-judgemental space where people can talk through forgiveness, self-love and rebuilding confidence. Sessions can help with immediate coping and with planning longer-term change.
Karen tailors the pace and focus to each person, and discusses practical options so people can leave sessions with clear next steps. To begin, people are encouraged to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions that fit their needs and timing.

Approaches Karen lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
The therapist will work collaboratively with each person to find the right way forward. Together they will agree on goals, try different ways of approaching problems and adjust the focus as needs change. Finding the best fit is part of the process rather than being decided on day one.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls let people have a face-to-face conversation from a convenient location. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging work well for short updates, flexible scheduling and people who prefer writing to speaking. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, family and daily life while keeping the focus on progress and practical next steps.
