Karina Kaminski

Karina Kaminski is a counsellor who blends practical talking therapy with a warm, non-judgemental style. She welcomes conversations about stress, anxiety, grief, relationships and self‑esteem. Karina uses straightforward language and focuses on what people want to achieve from therapy.

She draws on client-centred ideas to keep sessions focused on the person in front of her. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to help spot unhelpful thinking and try small behaviour changes. Mindfulness practices are introduced to reduce reactivity and bring attention into the present.

Karina has three years of experience and holds NCPS as her listed credential. She has worked with people facing depression, bereavement, domestic and emotional abuse, panic attacks and trauma. She has also supported young adults with social anxiety, low self‑esteem and depressive symptoms.

Her manner is described as caring and interactive. She avoids labels and listens carefully to what each person wants to change. Together with the client she shapes a plan that fits their day‑to‑day life and goals.

Karina commonly helps people manage life changes, parenting strains, compassion fatigue and relationship difficulties. She also offers support around body image, attachment issues, adoption and foster care concerns, guilt and midlife questions. If someone is ready to make a change, she aims to offer steady practical support.

How core approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship. The counsellor follows the client's agenda, reflects what is said and helps people clarify values and goals. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, panic and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss what feels most useful and together they will try methods that match the client's needs and goals. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress and preferences become clear.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to keep regular appointments around parenting or work commitments. Session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking to make sure they fit your schedule and concerns.
