About Karen
Karen Boram is a counsellor who brings five years of professional experience to her practice in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP and works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger and depression. Karen aims to make the first meeting straightforward and calm so clients can feel heard from the start.
She starts by listening carefully to each person's story. Sessions are patient paced and non-judgemental. Karen draws on integrative approaches, adapting conversations to what each person finds helpful rather than following one fixed method.
Background and approach
Her typical work focuses on clarifying confusing feelings and thoughts. She helps people identify small, practical steps they can try between sessions. That might mean new ways of managing stress, handling difficult memories, or talking about intimacy and relationships more clearly.
Karen also supports people facing identity and relationship concerns, including LGBT issues, infidelity and non-monogamous relationship dynamics. She has additional focus on personality-related patterns, codependency, and seasonal mood changes such as Seasonal Affective Disorder. Sessions can cover sensitive topics like sexual assault, self-harm and grief.
Karen aims to create room for decisions that lead to changes in behaviour, with a plan tailored to each person’s needs and pace.

Online support
She adapts these techniques to the person she is working with rather than following a single fixed model. Figuring out which approach feels most helpful is a shared process. The therapist will review goals and preferences together and adjust methods as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed, and chat or messaging can suit shorter, ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make therapy more flexible for people juggling work, caring responsibilities or travel.
