About Karen
Karen Murdock is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, grief and trauma. She also supports those dealing with sleep difficulties, anger, career uncertainty, compassion fatigue and ADHD. Karen uses a personalised approach to help people untangle what is happening and find practical ways forward.
She combines ideas from person-centred work, psychodynamic thinking and cognitive behavioural therapy to suit each person's needs. Sessions are shaped around what the person wants to achieve, with attention to patterns that repeat and the feelings behind them. Karen aims to help people build better self-regulation, clearer communication and stronger emotional awareness.
Karen has four years' experience and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. She has particular knowledge of long-term health difficulties, including chronic pain and chronic fatigue, and understands how these can affect work, finances and relationships. This informs how she frames goals and coping strategies.
People who come to Karen often want depth as well as practical tools. In conversation she balances listening with helping people try new ways of responding. The focus is on gradual, sustainable change rather than quick fixes.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and creating an accepting space. It helps people feel heard and clarify what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to try different responses and reduce unhelpful patterns. Psychodynamic work pays attention to repeated life patterns and past relationships to understand current difficulties.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and adjust methods as therapy progresses. Together they decide which ideas and exercises fit best for the person's situation and pace.
The biography does not specify which online formats are used, so please confirm session options before booking. Many people appreciate online sessions because they can fit meetings around work or family commitments, avoid travel time and choose quieter moments for reflection. Online sessions can also make it easier to have shorter check-ins or to work when physical health or mobility is limited. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt therapeutic methods to suit remote work and everyday life.
