Karl Graham, BACP

Karl Graham is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with nine years of clinical experience. He holds BACP registration and has spent time working online, supporting people with anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma and low self-esteem. He presents a calm, approachable presence for people who feel stuck or overwhelmed.

He creates a warm, open and non-judgmental space where people can talk through difficult thoughts and feelings. Sessions focus on listening closely, helping clients clarify what matters to them, and agreeing small, practical steps to try between meetings. Wherever someone starts, Karl aims to help them feel heard and more able to make changes.

Karl draws on client-centred ways of working alongside practical methods such as cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness. That means conversations usually move between understanding personal experience and trying actions that can shift unhelpful patterns. He also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas to support change and build momentum.

People come to him with a wide range of concerns including relationships, parenting stress, grief, sleep problems, anger, career questions and difficulties linked to ADHD or bipolar mood swings. He also works with issues such as attachment, abandonment, codependency and body image when these are part of someone’s story.

Starting therapy can feel hard, and Karl takes a straightforward, encouraging approach. He helps clients set realistic goals and reviews progress in regular sessions. Practical support and clear steps are central to his work together with clients.

How therapy approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience without judgement. It helps people feel heard and better able to work through difficult emotions and decisions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and suggests practical ways to change those patterns, often using short exercises and small experiments between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy involves gentle attention to present-moment experience and can help with stress, anxiety and sleep problems by teaching simple awareness practices.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals and preferences, then decide together which methods to try. This collaborative process can include mixing elements from different approaches to suit what the person needs right now.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. Many people find remote therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and continue support when circumstances change. Online work can allow for shorter check-ins, flexible scheduling and practical follow-up tasks that fit into everyday life. Registered or accredited professionals, including this counsellor, can explain which online formats they currently offer when you arrange the first appointment.
