About Karen
Karen Young is an NCPS counsellor in the United Kingdom with 12 years of practice. She works with adults on common life pressures such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting and anger. She also helps with relationship concerns and practical problems like money issues and workplace strain.
Karen describes a person-centred way of working. Sessions focus on listening and on helping people speak about what is troubling them. She aims to stay alongside clients as they think through difficult choices and changes. The emphasis is on clear, steady support rather than quick fixes.
Her approach draws on psychodynamic ideas and solution-focused techniques alongside client-centred counselling. That means some sessions look at how past patterns influence current reactions, while others set small, practical steps to test out between meetings. Practical tools and reflective conversation are mixed to suit the issue at hand.
People often come for help with parenting strain, midlife transitions, or relationship upset. Karen also works with anxiety presentations such as panic attacks, social anxiety and Seasonal Affective Disorder. She lists additional focus areas including hoarding, infidelity, divorce and commitment questions.
Consultations are delivered in English. International clients can be accepted. The profile notes that sessions operate via a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, so practical arrangements and cost depend on location and the chosen plan.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. It involves steady listening and reflecting what someone says so they can find their own solutions. This approach helps when someone needs to be heard about anger, parenting strain or relationship upset.Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past experiences shape current reactions. In short sessions this can help spot repeated patterns that lead to the same angry responses, and then try different choices. Solution-Focused Therapy is practical and goal oriented. It breaks problems into small steps and tests what works between sessions, which can be useful for changing quick reactions or workplace frustration.
Choosing an approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as the person learns what helps.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows practical exercises to be set and reviewed between meetings, helping people build different ways of responding to anger over time.
