Karolina Allan, BACP, NCPS

Karolina often uses evidence‑based techniques that focus on the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. Cognitive work helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and practise alternative ways of thinking. This approach is often useful for anxiety, low mood and stress because it gives concrete steps to try between sessions.

She also uses behavioural methods that encourage gradual changes in activity and routines. These techniques can help with low energy, avoidance after trauma, and rebuilding confidence through small achievable goals.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process and happens together with the client. Karolina will listen to what matters most, discuss options, and adapt methods to the person’s needs and preferences in a collaborative way.

Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text‑based messaging to give flexible access. Video works well for face‑to‑face conversation, phone can be useful when bandwidth is limited, and messaging supports shorter check‑ins or ongoing written work. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and health commitments.
