Karen Boram , BACP

Karen Boram is a fully qualified integrative counsellor and psychotherapist working in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects her commitment to professional standards in counselling and psychotherapy.

Karen specialises in supporting people facing stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, and challenges with anger. Her practice emphasises a gentle, client-led pace, beginning with careful listening to each person’s story and tailored planning that responds to individual circumstances. She aims to create a non-judgemental and personal environment where clients can explore their concerns and begin to identify practical pathways forward.

The initial session offers an introduction to counselling as a way to gain fresh perspectives and consider solutions to pressing problems. Karen works collaboratively with clients to clarify confusing or conflicted thoughts, fostering clearer decision making. Those decisions are then used as the foundation for practical changes in behaviour and improved well-being over time.

Integrative and Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Support

Karen works from an integrative framework that draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to tailor support to each person’s needs. An integrative approach combines methods and practical tools from different therapies to target the particular problems someone brings - for example focusing on thought patterns, emotional regulation, or relationship dynamics depending on what will be most helpful. Evidence-based techniques are applied in a focused way to address issues such as stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and relationship concerns by using methods that have a strong research foundation and practical outcomes.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Karen treats this as a collaborative exploration. She will work with clients to identify priorities, test approaches, and adjust the plan in line with the client’s goals, preferences, and pace, so therapy remains relevant and effective.

Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility and greater access to care for people with busy lives, mobility limits, or geographic distance. These options allow therapeutic work to continue in a way that fits daily routines and supports consistent progress with licensed professionals and therapists.
