About Karen

Karen Devlin is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people through stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression and major life changes. She also helps clients managing sleep problems, career uncertainty, and issues related to LGBT identity and past trauma and abuse. Karen aims to offer a calm, non-judgmental presence to make that first step feel safer.

She keeps sessions simple and direct. Conversations focus on what is most pressing right now and on small, practical steps people can try between meetings.

Background and approach

Karen emphasises a warm, listening approach so people can talk openly about difficult feelings and start to make changes at their own pace. With four years of experience, Karen brings workaday perspective and steadiness to the room. Her British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy registration is noted as BACP.

She uses that grounding to shape a clear, respectful way of working rather than jargon or tests. Clients can expect collaborative sessions where aims are set together. Karen checks in about progress and adjusts the pace if someone needs more time.

The focus is on building coping skills, improving sleep and mood, and finding steps that feel doable in daily life. Practical next steps are part of the process. Karen helps people identify simple routines and small behaviour changes that support wellbeing.

She also offers different session formats to suit people’s schedules and circumstances.

Approaches that guide online counselling

Evidence-based techniques are used to make sessions practical and goal-focused. One common approach involves working on thoughts and behaviours that keep anxiety and low mood active, helping people test unhelpful thinking and try small experiments to feel different in daily life. Another approach concentrates on grief and trauma recovery by helping people tell their story at a pace that feels manageable and by developing coping routines that reduce distress and improve sleep.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide together with the client which techniques suit their goals and preferences. That collaborative process means methods are adjusted over time if something is not helping.

Online therapy here can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules. Video works well for deeper conversations where seeing one another helps connection. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging can suit people who prefer writing between sessions or who need brief support during a busy day. These choices help therapy fit around work, family and travel commitments while keeping progress on track.
