About Karen

Karen Mayberry is a counsellor who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self esteem, depression and major life changes. She also supports people dealing with relationship difficulties and related concerns such as attachment, communication problems, codependency and grief. Her approach is warm and non-judgemental so people can speak freely about painful experiences.

She works in an integrative, client-centred way. That means she draws on different counselling theories and techniques to match what a person needs.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on helping people process thoughts and feelings and consider choices they can make going forward. Karen pays attention to how trauma can live in the body and affect the nervous system. She brings extra training and continued learning into her work to better support people who have experienced abuse, assault, domestic violence or dissociation.

This perspective aims to link what people feel emotionally with how they experience things physically. Practical issues such as panic, disrupted sleep, low confidence or addictive behaviour are explored alongside deeper themes like abandonment, shame and emptiness. Sessions can include both short-term practical coping skills and gentler, longer-term exploration depending on the person’s needs.

She holds BACP, which is shown as a professional credential in the United Kingdom. Karen has four years of professional counselling experience and works with people from many backgrounds, including international clients. The therapy offered is adapted to each person’s pace and goals.

Approaches and practical online therapy options

Karen uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in flexible ways. She follows an integrative, client-centred approach that blends talking therapy with practical strategies to reduce anxiety and manage distress. This approach helps with stress, panic and mood concerns by focusing on present difficulties and coping skills.

She also emphasises trauma-aware work that considers how distress can show up in the body and the nervous system. This perspective helps people understand physical reactions to past events and learn ways to lessen overwhelming sensations and dissociation over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided collaboratively. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their needs, pace and goals, and will adjust the plan as things change.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different preferences. Video calls let people see and hear one another for fuller conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows faster check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments.
