Karolina Callaghan , BACP

Karolina Callaghan is a humanistic counsellor and therapist who places compassion, respect, and empathy at the centre of her practice. She works from a humanistic perspective that treats each person as the expert on their own life, and she partners with clients to hold and explore whatever they bring to therapy. Her relational approach aims to create a supportive space for healing and growth, helping clients increase awareness of what matters to them and to notice when familiar coping strategies no longer serve them. By gently expanding the range of choices a person can see, she supports movement toward greater authenticity and self-understanding.

Karolina adapts her work to suit individual needs, whether someone is seeking help for depression, anxiety, or a more general sense that something feels off. Before training as a therapist she spent a decade working in health and social care roles within the NHS and the private sector. She holds a postgraduate diploma in Humanistic Psychotherapy and Counselling from the University of Brighton, and during her training she worked as a therapist in a hospice supporting people with grief and loss. She also volunteered with a low-cost counselling charity supporting people facing depression, anxiety, alcoholism, and low self-esteem.

She is a registered member #402475 of the BACP (British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapist), which means she follows their standards and ethical framework. Karolina offers collaborative, person-focused therapy for those ready to explore change and personal growth.

Client-Centered and Existential Support Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, non-directive environment where the client leads the conversation and the therapist offers empathy and understanding. This approach helps people explore their feelings, build self-awareness, and work through issues like low self-esteem, anxiety, and relationship concerns.

Existential Therapy invites clients to examine meaning, choice, and personal responsibility in their lives. It is useful for those grappling with life transitions, questions about purpose, feelings of emptiness, or experiences of grief and loss, supporting reflection on values and how to live more authentically.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Karolina works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She will listen, offer clinical perspective, and adapt the work over time so the therapy remains aligned with the client's aims.

Online therapy with modalities such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, family, and caregiving responsibilities, and to continue therapy during life changes. For many clients, remote sessions provide accessible, consistent support from licensed professionals while maintaining the relational focus that Karolina values.
