About Karen
Karen Boram is a counsellor with five years of practice in the United Kingdom. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression or grief. Karen also supports those affected by trauma, abuse and issues around intimacy and relationships.
She offers a calm, patient way into counselling. Sessions begin with listening to a person’s story and understanding what matters to them. Karen builds a tailored plan that fits each person’s situation rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.
Background and approach
Her work covers anger, coping with life changes, and concerns linked to sexual assault and self-harm. She also addresses relationship challenges, non-monogamous relationship dynamics, codependency and personality-related difficulties. Seasonal Affective Disorder and questions around identity and LGBT concerns are part of her practice.
In early meetings she focuses on making sense of confusing thoughts and feelings. That clarity helps people make decisions and try new behaviours. Over time the aim is to reduce distress and regain a sense of control.
Karen holds BACP registration, which denotes professional membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. Therapy can be arranged as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging.
To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability. The initial contact is used to agree goals and plan practical steps for change.
Online approaches for anxiety and trauma
Karen uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the person she meets. One commonly used approach is trauma-focused work, which helps people process distressing events and lower the intensity of upsetting memories. This kind of work aims to reduce the hold those memories have on daily life and to restore emotional balance.Another frequent approach is skills-based support for anxiety and stress. This includes simple practical tools for managing panic, intrusive thoughts and overwhelming worry. The focus is on small, repeatable steps that people can use between sessions to feel steadier and make clearer choices.
Finding the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through different options and agree a plan that matches the person’s needs, goals and comfort level. Goals are revisited as therapy progresses so adjustments can be made together.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls work well for in-depth conversations and reading non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick reflections, ongoing support between sessions or when typing feels easier than speaking. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, travel or family life.
