Karen Mayberry, BACP

Karen Mayberry is a United Kingdom-credentialed counsellor with four years of professional experience and BACP accreditation, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She works as an integrative counsellor, adopting a client-centred stance and drawing flexibly from a range of counselling theories and techniques to suit each person’s needs.

She offers a non-judgemental space in which clients can explore and process thoughts and feelings. Working collaboratively, she helps people look at difficulties from different perspectives and consider the choices that have been made, tailoring the therapeutic work rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method.

Her practice includes support for stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, emotional and physical abuse including sexual and domestic abuse, depression, panic attacks, low self-esteem and confidence, relationship problems and anger. She regularly undertakes additional training and has a strong interest in trauma - particularly how traumatic experience can reside in the body and influence the nervous system.

Recognising that seeking change takes courage, she aims to support and empower people as they take steps toward a more fulfilling and happier life.

Integrative and Trauma-Focused Support Delivered Online

Karen Mayberry uses an integrative, client-centred approach that draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques - this means she adapts methods to suit each person’s needs, focusing on collaboration, exploration of thoughts and feelings, and practical strategies for coping with life changes, stress and relationship difficulties.

She also brings focused attention to trauma and its effects on the body and nervous system, working gently to help people understand how past experience can influence current responses and to develop ways to regulate and manage those responses. These trauma-aware practices aim to be responsive to each person's pace and tolerance.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. As a registered professional and integrative therapist, she will work with clients to identify the best fit based on individual needs, goals and preferences, adapting methods over time as progress is made.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering flexibility and easier access for people with busy schedules, mobility constraints or those living at a distance. These formats make it possible to maintain continuity of care and to choose the mode of communication that feels most comfortable for the individual.
