Karen Boram, BACP

Karen Boram is a UK-based integrative counsellor and psychotherapist with five years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, trauma, anger and relationship challenges. She works with a wide range of concerns including grief, self-esteem difficulties, intimacy-related issues, coping with life changes, and matters affecting LGBT clients, and she offers informed support around personality and relationship complexities such as avoidant or dependent patterns, codependency, infidelity, and non-monogamous relationship dynamics.

Known for a calm, patient approach, she begins by actively listening to each person without judgement and then co-creates a tailored counselling plan that reflects the individual needs and goals of the client. This gradual, person-centred method helps reduce confusion, bring clarity to difficult decisions and supports changes in behaviour that clients want to make. Her practice prioritises practical pathways forward while honoring each client’s pace and experience.

She holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which denotes alignment with a recognised UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. Karen accepts international clients and offers sessions that adapt to clients seeking flexible, thoughtful therapeutic support.

Integrative approaches and online therapy options

Karen practises an integrative approach that draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to tailor support to each person’s situation - blending different methods to meet needs related to stress, anxiety, trauma and relationship difficulties. This allows her to combine talking-based exploration with practical strategies that help manage symptoms and improve coping in daily life.

She also emphasises attentive, person-centred listening and collaborative planning, creating space to explore difficult experiences at a suitable pace while working together to set achievable goals. This helps people make clearer decisions and build new patterns of behaviour in ways that feel manageable.

Finding the right fit is part of the process - Karen will work with clients to identify which techniques and pace best suit their needs, goals and preferences, making adjustments as therapy progresses. For convenience and accessibility she offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexible ways to engage in therapy from different locations and at times that suit each client. These options support continuity of care for both local and international clients and make it easier to maintain regular sessions around everyday commitments.
