About Karolina

Karolina Puspacherova is a counsellor with four years of professional experience based in the United Kingdom. She offers a warm, non-judgemental approach and aims to make the first step into therapy as straightforward as possible. Karolina works with people facing anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship concerns and motivation struggles.

Her sessions focus on listening closely and helping people put words to what feels difficult. She uses practical conversation to spot patterns and identify small, workable changes. That may mean looking at thoughts and behaviours with cognitive behavioural techniques or exploring personal meaning and life choices through existential ideas.

Karolina also draws on client-centred and psychodynamic ways of working to build understanding of past influences and present feelings. Solution-focused techniques are used when clients want short-term goals and clear steps forward. Together these tools help with issues such as grief, trauma, intimacy-related concerns, body image and sleep problems.

She is experienced supporting people with a wide range of challenges including parenting strain, chronic pain or illness, career stress, ADHD-related concerns, and difficulties linked to attachment, commitment or control. Karolina is comfortable discussing matters related to LGBT identity and alternative sexual cultures when these are relevant to a person's struggles.

People who choose Karolina often want a collaborative space to make gradual change. She encourages pace to suit each person, and works alongside them to set practical steps and build coping strategies. If you are unsure what to expect, she can help clarify the next steps in an early conversation.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Karolina uses client-centred work to prioritise what matters most to the person. This approach focuses on empathic listening and following the client's lead to build trust and clarity. It can help with feelings of low self-worth, relationship concerns and general distress.

She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT offers practical techniques for anxiety, mood difficulties, sleep and unhelpful patterns that get in the way of daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Karolina will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person's goals and preferences. That might mean trying one way for a few sessions and then adjusting based on what helps most.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, removing travel time and allowing appointments around work or family commitments. Confirm the available session formats before booking so you know which options are offered. Many people find remote sessions useful for shorter check-ins, regular weekly work, or starting the therapeutic conversation when getting to a physical clinic is difficult.
