Therapeutic approaches and online support
Karen Robson uses approaches that emphasize practical change and personal understanding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns. It is commonly used for problems such as anxiety, depression, stress and many everyday difficulties where changing thoughts and actions can reduce distress.
Client-Centered Therapy prioritises the client’s own experience and perspective, offering empathic listening and acceptance so individuals can explore feelings and discover their own solutions. This approach can be particularly helpful for building self-esteem, processing grief, and navigating relationship or identity concerns.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple mental training practices that help manage stress, overwhelm and emotional reactivity. It often complements other therapies when clients want tools for grounding and emotion regulation.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Karen works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences. She adapts techniques over time as progress is made and priorities evolve.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and circumstances. These options increase accessibility for clients who need more convenient ways to engage with therapy while still working with licensed professionals and therapists committed to effective care.
