About Karl

Karl Graham works with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression, and helps people facing relationship and parenting strains. He uses client-centred methods alongside cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness to support practical change. Karl is registered with the BACP and has nine years of professional experience.

Karl offers a straightforward, conversational style. Sessions focus on what is troubling the individual now and on small steps that can make daily life easier. He uses listening, reflective feedback and practical tasks between sessions when they suit the person's goals.

He also draws on motivational interviewing to help with readiness for change and on solution-focused work to identify concrete next steps. Mindfulness practices are presented simply, as short exercises people can try between sessions to manage stress and intrusive thoughts.

Karl has worked across a range of common difficulties, including grief, sleeping problems, anger and career concerns, as well as addiction and trauma-related issues. He is experienced in addressing attachment, communication and intimacy-related problems alongside mood and motivation difficulties.

How counselling approaches are used in online sessions

Karl commonly uses client-centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy in his practice. Client-centred work focuses on listening and reflecting to help people make sense of their thoughts and feelings, which can help when someone feels overwhelmed or unsure what to do next. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and supports practical steps to change unhelpful patterns.

He also uses mindfulness techniques to teach short, practical exercises for managing stress and intrusive thoughts. These are presented as simple practices that can be tried between sessions to support day-to-day coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss a person's goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted over time if something is not helpful.

Please confirm the current session options before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow follow-ups without a long commute. Some formats also let people choose shorter check-ins or avoid using video when that helps them engage more comfortably.
