Karen Robson, BACP

Karen Robson is a registered Cognitive Behavioural Therapist who brings a warm, client-led approach to work with people across the lifespan. She qualified as a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist in 2010 and is a registered member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Her practice draws on a range of therapeutic skills and techniques so that interventions are tailored to each person’s needs and goals.

Karen has experience supporting people with anxiety, stress, depression, addiction, bereavement and loss, trauma and PTSD, relationship and family difficulties, work-related problems, neurodiversity, suicidal ideation and other complex presentations. She has worked with clients from age five through to adulthood and adapts her methods to suit different developmental stages and presenting concerns. She also works with areas such as ADHD, self-esteem, eating and intimacy-related issues, bipolar, grief, parenting and anger.

Working in an integrated, client-led way, Karen aims to empower people to increase self-awareness, understand thoughts, feelings and triggers, and set achievable goals for positive change. She will introduce creative techniques when appropriate and works collaboratively with each person to find approaches that suit them. She meets clients with an open-minded, non-judgmental stance and focuses on practical steps that support healing and forward movement.

Karen values an accepting therapeutic relationship where imperfections and setbacks are understood as part of the human experience. Her aim is to help clients build insight, resilience and tools to navigate life’s challenges and to support them in becoming the best version of themselves.
