Karen Robson, BACP

Karen Robson is a counsellor with 13 years' experience who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, addiction and relationship worries. She also supports people dealing with grief, low self-esteem, ADHD, eating concerns and trauma. Karen works in a straightforward, non-judgemental way that aims to make difficult problems feel more manageable.

She trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Karen draws on a mix of approaches and uses whatever fits the person in front of her. The style is client-led and practical, so sessions focus on small, realistic steps people can try between meetings.

Karen has worked in many settings over the years and has supported people with a wide range of issues. She uses creativity where it helps and adapts techniques for different needs. This includes work with neurodiversity, family and relationship problems, first responder issues, and recovery from addiction.

Sessions aim to help people understand their thoughts, feelings and triggers. Karen supports goal-setting so people can make steady changes and feel more in control. She meets people openly and without judgement, and works together with them to find what helps.

To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and then schedule sessions through the service. The subscription can be cancelled at any time, and international clients are accepted.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and making the person feel heard. It helps when someone needs a space to talk without judgement and to explore their feelings at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together. It gives clear techniques to try between sessions for issues like anxiety, low mood and stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Karen collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit best for their goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made and new priorities emerge.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time. Working online can make it simpler to keep momentum between sessions and to use worksheets or mindfulness practices together during the meeting.
