About Karolina
Karolina Callaghan is a humanistic counsellor and therapist with three years of post-qualification experience. She works with people who are feeling stuck, anxious, low, or unsure about their next steps. Her approach is based on respect, empathy and working together to find what helps in day-to-day life.
Karolina uses a client-centred way of working that treats the person as the expert on their own life. Sessions focus on listening, exploring feelings and noticing patterns that no longer help.
Background and approach
She also draws on existential ideas to look at meaning, choice and how people make sense of change. Before training as a therapist she spent around a decade in health and social care roles in the NHS and personal settings. Her placement work included hospice therapy, where she supported people dealing with grief and end-of-life concerns.
She also volunteered with a low-cost counselling charity offering support for depression, anxiety, alcoholism and low self-esteem. Karolina holds a postgraduate diploma in Humanistic Psychotherapy and Counselling from the University of Brighton and is a BACP member. BACP stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and denotes her listed registration with that body.
She offers sessions in English and Czech. People commonly bring worries about stress, relationships, self-esteem, trauma, eating and workplace pressures. Karolina aims to create a calm, relational space where people can notice choices and try new ways of coping.

Online support
Existential Therapy looks at life questions such as meaning, choice and responsibility. It helps people who feel empty, stuck or uncertain about purpose to consider what matters to them and how they might take small steps towards change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Karolina will collaborate with the person to choose which ideas to use and will adjust as needs and goals become clearer. The aim is to build a shared plan that feels useful in everyday life.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls suit longer sessions where seeing each other helps the relationship. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter voice check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for short check-ins, immediate processing or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caring duties and travel.
