About Karen
Karen Boram is a counsellor and psychotherapist who has worked in the United Kingdom for five years. She holds BACP accreditation, and she offers a calm, steady approach for people facing stress, anxiety, grief and relationship concerns. She aims to make the first session easy to approach and to listen without judgement.
Her style is gradual and practical. She starts by hearing your story and building a simple plan together.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clearing confusion so decisions become easier. Karen frames counselling as a tool to help people see things differently and consider new choices. She has particular experience supporting people after trauma, sexual assault and abuse, and with self-harm and anger.
She also works with issues such as low self-esteem, intimacy concerns, bereavement, seasonal affective disorder and the emotional effects of life changes. A noted interest includes non-monogamous relationships, infidelity and personality-related difficulties. Karen listens for how patterns repeat in daily life, then helps people try different ways of responding.
Her work often concentrates on coping skills, reducing overwhelming feelings, and practical steps for improvement. She discusses options and goals with each person so the plan fits their situation. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients can be accepted.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Evidence-based approaches often focus on practical skills and clear thinking. One common technique helps people identify unhelpful patterns in thoughts and behaviour and then try out small changes to see what works. This approach can reduce anxiety and improve mood by breaking cycles that keep problems active.Another useful way of working concentrates on trauma-informed care. That involves pacing sessions, grounding exercises and careful listening so people feel more able to manage distressing memories and reactions. It can be helpful for those recovering from abuse or sexual assault and for reducing overwhelming emotional responses.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide what fits your needs, goals and preferences. Plans change as progress is made and the focus is reviewed together.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy life and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to keep appointments around work or family commitments and to maintain continuity while travelling.
