About Karen

Karen Bannerman is a United Kingdom based therapist with 25 years of professional experience and holds the BACP credential, indicating membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She brings long-standing clinical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression and low mood, relationship and family conflicts, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, and a wide range of other life challenges.

Her practice includes work with couples, young people and families, and she addresses issues such as intimacy, parenting, self-esteem, eating concerns, ADHD and coping with life changes. She frames her work around helping clients explore thoughts and feelings openly and without judgment, aiming to build a respectful therapeutic relationship where difficult topics can be discussed honestly.

If a client’s needs would be better served by specialized services she will signpost to appropriate agencies or organisations. Karen is not currently accepting new clients.

Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Support

Karen draws on several established approaches to tailor therapy to each person’s needs. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships influence current patterns of connection and trust, helping people work through difficulties in intimacy, abandonment and attachment issues. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an empathic, non-judgmental space where the client’s own goals and insights shape the direction of work - this approach supports self-esteem, life transitions and decision-making. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) addresses how thoughts, emotions and behaviours interact, offering practical strategies to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression and stress and to develop new coping skills.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Karen works with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and she and the client review progress together so the plan can adapt over time. Licensed professionals and therapists often combine elements from different models to best support each person.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people balancing work, family or mobility constraints. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access therapy from home or other convenient locations, while allowing therapists to use the approaches above in ways that suit each client’s circumstances.
