Karen Young, NCPS

Karen Young is a person-centred counsellor with 12 years of practice in the United Kingdom. She helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious or low, and those facing relationship strain, parenting challenges or major life changes. Her manner is described as open, warm and non-judgemental, and she focuses on listening and supporting people as they explore difficult feelings.

Many people find that starting therapy feels daunting. Karen stays alongside clients as they work out who they are and where they want to go. She aims to create a steady space for people to talk through grief, anger, low self-esteem and worries about the future.

Her work draws on client-centred ways of relating, alongside psychodynamic thinking and solution-focused tools. That means sessions can include listening deeply, looking at patterns from the past, and practical steps to help with immediate problems. Conversations tend to be straightforward and grounded in the present moment.

Karen has supported people with a wide range of issues, including panic attacks, social anxiety, workplace problems, midlife questions and difficulties around separation or infidelity. She also addresses money worries, hoarding concerns and seasonal affective disorder where these come up.

She holds the NCPS credential, which is shown as NCPS. Sessions are offered in English and international clients can be seen. To begin, people use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How her approaches fit with online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy centres the conversation on the person's experience, with the counsellor offering empathy and acceptance to help people talk through feelings like anxiety, low mood or parenting stress. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that might have formed over time and how past experiences show up in current relationships and behaviour. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and small changes that can help with immediate problems such as panic attacks, workplace issues or coping with life transitions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify what feels most helpful based on the client's needs, goals and preferences. That means trying different ways of working and adjusting the focus as progress is made.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time, which can make it easier to keep regular contact. If you prefer shorter check-ins or need a quieter setup that doesn't require being on camera for the whole time, those preferences can shape how sessions are arranged. The original biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use online work to make therapy more manageable alongside everyday life.
