About Karina

Karina Nipane works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, low self-esteem and depression using a pluralistic approach that draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, psychodynamic and humanistic ideas. She is registered with NCPS and has three years' experience supporting people in mental health settings.

Karina offers practical, conversational counselling. Sessions look at patterns of thought and behaviour, deal with difficult emotions, and help people make clearer decisions. She aims to work collaboratively and at a pace that clients find manageable.

Her background includes extensive supervised training in psychotherapeutic counselling practice and experience providing immediate support for people in mental health crisis and distress. That work has involved supporting people through bereavement, trauma, anxiety and major life changes.

Karina also pays attention to issues connected to attachment and abandonment, body image, eating and food-related concerns, codependency and commitment problems. She can help with guilt, shame, forgiveness and feelings of isolation or loneliness.

Other areas she has supported include chronic pain, long-term illness and disability, immigration-related stress, infidelity, life purpose questions, pregnancy and childbirth issues, and postpartum depression. Sessions are conducted in English and take place in the United Kingdom.

To begin, users are asked to select the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and exact cost varies by location.

Therapeutic approaches and remote counselling

Karina draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and psychodynamic ideas alongside humanistic principles. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and teaches ways to change them, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and stress. Psychodynamic work examines repeating patterns and early relationships to help make sense of current difficulties, which can help with attachment and relationship issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Karina will discuss different ways of working with each client and agree a plan based on needs, goals and personal preference. The process is collaborative and can be adjusted as understanding develops.

Confirm the exact session formats available before booking, as the biography does not specify formats. Online counselling can make sessions easier to fit into a busy week and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed or offer options that do not require being on camera, which may help people who prefer a lower-bandwidth call or a brief session during a work break. Registered or accredited professionals can help clients decide how to make remote sessions work in daily life.
