Karolina Callaghan is a Humanistic counsellor and therapist who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and life transitions. She works with clients on relationship and intimacy concerns, self-esteem, eating and career questions. Karolina brings three years of counselling experience and a background in health and social care to her practice.

She trained at the University of Brighton and holds a postgraduate diploma in Humanistic Psychotherapy and Counselling. During training she worked as a therapist in a hospice, supporting people with grief and end-of-life issues.

Background and approach

She also volunteered with a low-cost counselling charity, supporting people with depression, anxiety, alcoholism and low self-esteem. Karolina follows a humanistic, client-centred way of working. Sessions focus on what the client brings and on building understanding through respect, empathy and collaboration.

She aims to help people notice patterns, consider different choices and explore what matters most to them. Her approach is relational and grounded in everyday language. Conversations tend to be practical and straightforward, focusing on coping strategies, exploring feelings and finding ways to move forward.

Karolina also supports people with caregiver stress, guilt and shame, and issues around life purpose and money. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and sees clients in the United Kingdom. Sessions are offered in English and Czech.

How client-centred and existential approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's experience in the moment. The therapist listens deeply, reflects what is said and helps the person name feelings and priorities. This approach can help with anxiety, low self-worth and relationship concerns by increasing self-understanding and decision-making.

Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice and responsibility. It helps people who feel stuck by examining values, life purpose and how to live with uncertainty. This style can be useful for coping with major life changes, grief, feelings of emptiness and questions about direction.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together they will decide what to try first. That makes therapy a collaborative process and allows adjustments as needs change.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls are good for fuller conversations when seeing facial cues matters. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer to write or want frequent brief contact between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and daily life.
