About Karina
Karina Kaminski is a counsellor who uses a person-centred way of working. She emphasises a warm, non-judgemental approach and listens closely to what each person wants to achieve. Karina brings three years of practice to sessions and holds NCPS as a credential.
In sessions she focuses on immediate, practical matters such as stress, anxiety, panic, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports people coping with grief, relationship strain, anger, compassion fatigue and life changes. Additional areas she has worked with include adoption and foster care, attachment issues, body image, and trauma-related concerns.
Her style is collaborative and interactive. Karina draws on client-centred ideas to prioritise the person’s own goals, cognitive behavioural tools to address unhelpful thinking and behaviour, and mindfulness techniques to build present-moment coping. She adapts conversations and plans to each person’s needs rather than following a fixed protocol.
Karina aims to treat people with respect and sensitivity and avoids stigmatising labels. She keeps things straightforward in sessions, focusing on what is useful right now and on small steps forward. That practical focus often helps when life feels overwhelming.
People who choose her work often want help with everyday pressures such as work-related strain, parenting tensions, or navigating a midlife shift. To begin, prospective clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule according to the therapist’s availability.
How her approaches work online and in sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding what matters to the person. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflects their concerns and helps clarify goals. This approach is useful when someone wants to be heard and to shape therapy around their priorities.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at thinking patterns and behaviour that keep problems going. It uses straightforward exercises and small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety, manage panic and lift mood. CBT is often used for stress, low mood and panic-related work.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then agree a way forward. That collaboration can include trying different tools and seeing what fits best for the person’s life and needs.
Please confirm the current session options before booking as formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make sessions easier to fit into a busy day and can reduce travel time. It also allows for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or methods such as exercises and mindfulness practices to be shared between meetings.
