About Karin Hughes
Karin Hughes is a compassionate counsellor who creates a supportive space for individuals and couples to explore difficult feelings and life challenges. With an approachable manner and a warm sense of humour, she works collaboratively to help clients understand their thoughts, emotions, and patterns of behaviour so they can move toward clearer goals and greater wellbeing. Karin uses an integrative approach, tailoring each session to the person in front of her so therapy reflects individual needs and personality rather than a one-size-fits-all model.
Her role is to offer time, practical tools, and guidance that help people feel more empowered to make changes or to reach a place of acceptance when change is not possible. When life feels overwhelming or direction seems unclear, she helps clients regain focus and plan constructive next steps. Talking things through with someone who listens with experience and sensitivity can bring perspective and relief from anxieties, complicated feelings, or persistent worries.
Karin holds the NCPS credential, indicating professional training in counselling, and she practices in the United Kingdom offering sessions in English. Her work emphasizes empathy, respect, and a steady collaborative process aimed at supporting each client toward a healthier, more manageable future.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of relating to others. In online sessions Karin helps clients explore attachment styles to improve connection, trust, and emotional safety in relationships, which can be useful for issues like intimacy, abandonment concerns, and communication problems.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental, empathetic relationship where the client is the expert on their experience. In this approach Karin offers reflective listening and gentle guidance to support self-discovery, increased self-esteem, and clearer decision-making when facing life changes.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. When used online, CBT provides structured tools and practical strategies to manage anxiety, stress, low mood, and unhelpful thinking patterns through collaborative exercises and goal-focused work.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Karin works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the plan as therapy progresses so clients feel involved in shaping their care.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit support into a busy life and to access a therapist from home or another comfortable setting. These options help maintain continuity of care and allow therapists and licensed professionals to work with clients in ways that suit individual schedules and communication styles.
