About Karolina
Karolina Callaghan is a humanistic counsellor with three years of professional experience. She works from a compassionate, respectful stance and focuses on helping people who feel stuck, down, anxious or uncertain about next steps. Karolina speaks English and Czech and practises in the United Kingdom.
She is a BACP member, which reflects the professional standards she follows. She prefers a collaborative way of working. Clients lead the conversation and she listens without judgement.
Background and approach
That approach helps people talk through depression, anxiety, stress and relationship worries in a straightforward way. Sessions aim to increase self-awareness and identify coping strategies that actually fit daily life. Karolina draws on humanistic ideas and relational work to build a trusting therapeutic space.
She helps clients notice choices they may not have seen before and to try new ways of responding to old problems. Practical concerns such as workplace stress, career decisions and financial strain are addressed alongside emotional topics like grief, guilt and shame.
Her background includes a postgraduate diploma in Humanistic Psychotherapy and Counselling from the University of Brighton and a decade of experience in health and social care, including NHS roles and hospice work supporting grief and end-of-life matters. She has also volunteered with a low-cost counselling charity supporting people with depression, anxiety and addiction-related issues.
Therapy sessions are offered in several formats to suit different needs, from video calls to text-based messaging. Karolina encourages clients to set the pace and explore what matters most to them, whether that is rebuilding self-esteem, coping with life changes, or working through trauma and loss.

Online support
Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice and responsibility in life. It helps people who feel stuck, empty or overwhelmed by life changes to name what matters and consider different ways forward. This can be helpful when grappling with grief, life purpose, or difficult decisions about work and relationships.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. Sessions can shift over time as the client's priorities change, and the counsellor will check in about what is helping.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat or messaging works well for ongoing check-ins, brief reflections or when typing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to arrange therapy around work, childcare or travel.
