About Karen

Karen Young is a person-centered counsellor with 12 years of experience supporting people at many stages of life. She works with clients of all ages, offering a calm and steady presence as they explore concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationships, family difficulties, grief, depression, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Her practice also addresses more specific issues including commitment difficulties, divorce and separation, hoarding, infidelity, midlife crises, money worries, panic attacks, seasonal affective disorder, social anxiety, women's issues, and workplace stresses.

She understands that taking the first step to reach out for help can feel daunting, and she aims to make that step easier by creating an open, warm, and empathetic space. Karen stays alongside clients as they discover who they are and where they want to go, acknowledging that change can be scary while also highlighting the possibilities for growth and relief.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Karen Young draws on client-centered therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and solution-focused therapy to tailor support to each person's needs. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a compassionate, nonjudgmental relationship in which the client leads the pace and focus of sessions - this approach helps with issues like low self-esteem, relationship strain, and coping with life changes. Psychodynamic therapy explores patterns from past experiences and how they affect present feelings and relationships - it can be helpful for deeper emotional issues, recurring relationship problems, and understanding roots of anxiety or anger. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on strengths, practical goals, and small steps toward change - it is useful for managing stress, resolving specific problems, and building coping strategies.

Karen approaches therapy as a collaborative process. She works with clients to identify their priorities and tries different approaches as needed to find the best fit for their goals and preferences. The choice of methods evolves from ongoing conversations about what feels most helpful.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it possible to access support from home or while traveling, and to choose the format that suits scheduling and comfort. For many people, these options make it easier to maintain regular contact with a registered professional and to receive consistent support alongside everyday commitments.
