Karl Graham is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with nine years of professional experience. He holds BACP accreditation and focuses on helping people through common and complex difficulties. He works with individuals who are struggling with anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma and low self-esteem.

Karl aims to create a warm, open and non-judgemental space. Sessions are designed so people feel heard and supported. He encourages practical steps that can be used between meetings.

Background and approach

His practice covers a broad range of concerns including stress, relationship troubles, grief and intimacy-related issues. He also supports people dealing with sleep problems, anger, career change and parenting strains. Complex presentations such as bipolar, ADHD and co-morbidity are part of his work.

Karl draws on several established approaches. He uses client-centred listening alongside cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness exercises to help clients understand patterns and try new responses. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas shape short-term goals when people want clearer direction.

People who prefer practical, down-to-earth help tend to find his style useful. He emphasises collaboration and small, realistic steps. The focus is on what can change now, and building skills to manage challenges going forward.

How Karl uses talking therapies online

Client-centred work focuses on listening and reflecting what someone says so they feel understood. It helps when people need to make sense of emotions or want a steady space to talk things through.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. It teaches simple skills to change unhelpful patterns and can be useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.

Mindfulness Therapy introduces short awareness exercises and breathing techniques that reduce stress and help with emotion regulation. These tools are often used alongside other approaches to support day-to-day coping.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Karl will discuss options and help decide what fits a person's goals and preferences. That collaborative process can be adjusted as progress is made.

Online sessions include video calls, phone appointments, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is good for a face-to-face feel, while phone sessions can be quicker when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging suit short check-ins or people who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments, and they let people continue with therapy even when schedules change.
