About Karl
Karl Graham is a counsellor in the United Kingdom with nine years of professional experience. He holds BACP accreditation, and his work focuses on common struggles such as anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma and low self-esteem. Karl aims to create a calm, non-judgemental environment so people can talk honestly about what’s happening for them.
Karl offers straightforward conversation and practical ways to move forward. Sessions tend to focus on what matters now and what can help in everyday life.
Background and approach
He listens closely, helps clarify priorities, and works with each person’s own strengths to build coping strategies. He uses a mix of approaches to suit different needs, including client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns, and mindfulness to help with stress and grounding. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods are used when someone wants clear steps and short-term goals.
Karl supports people dealing with parenting pressures alongside other concerns such as sleep problems, relationship strain, grief and career stress. He also works with issues linked to addiction, ADHD, anger and complex emotional histories. The focus is on practical change rather than labels.
Getting started is straightforward: a short matching questionnaire is completed and then sessions are scheduled. International clients can be seen in English. Karl presents therapy as a collaborative process where small, steady steps add up to meaningful improvements.

Therapeutic approaches and online working
Karl commonly draws on client-centred therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness in online work. Client-centred therapy means the conversation is led by the person’s concerns and lived experience, with the counsellor offering acceptance and reflection to help clarify thoughts and feelings. Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression and sleep problems. Mindfulness involves simple grounding and attention practices to reduce stress and increase present-moment calm, useful for overwhelm and anger.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Karl will talk through what feels most useful and adapt methods to fit someone’s goals and preferences. He treats the process as collaborative and adjusts pace and focus as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is good for a fuller face-to-face style, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around parenting duties, work and travel while keeping therapy consistent.
