Karen Boram, BACP

Karen Boram is an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist practising in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. As a registered BACP practitioner - BACP stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - she combines training and practical skills to support people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and anger management concerns.

Karen adopts a gradual, client-centred approach to therapy, beginning sessions by listening carefully to each person without judgement and creating a counselling plan tailored to individual needs. She aims to make the first meeting an accessible introduction to what therapy can offer, helping clients gain perspective on their challenges and explore potential solutions. Through focused work to clarify confusing thoughts and reduce emotional overwhelm, Karen supports clients in making clearer decisions that can lead to constructive changes in behaviour and daily life. Her practice emphasises collaboration, respect for each person’s pace, and practical steps toward greater clarity and wellbeing.

Integrative approaches and online support

Karen Boram works from an integrative perspective, blending elements from different therapeutic models to suit each person’s needs. This approach allows her to draw on a range of techniques and tailor interventions to issues such as stress, anxiety, trauma and anger, matching methods to the client rather than applying a single fixed model.

She also uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques, which means selecting methods supported by clinical research to address specific difficulties. These techniques are applied practically to help clients make sense of patterns, build coping strategies, and navigate life changes and relationship challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Karen collaborates with clients to identify what fits best based on their needs, goals and preferences. Together they review progress and adapt the plan as required to ensure the work remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging - provide flexibility for different lifestyles and time zones. These formats make it easier for clients to access support from home or work, reduce travel time, and offer multiple ways to engage so individuals can choose the mode that feels most comfortable for them.
