Karen Power, BACP

Karen Power is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with seven years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression and the everyday pressures of parenting and relationships. Karen also supports people dealing with neurodivergence-related concerns, grief, trauma and changes like separation or career shifts.

She uses straightforward talking, practical tools and thoughtful listening. Karen respects that each person knows their life best and builds sessions around what a client brings. That can mean looking at day-to-day coping, pacing big changes, or working on communication and boundaries.

Her work draws on approaches such as client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural ideas, mindfulness and solution-focused techniques. That mix lets her move between gentle exploration and practical steps people can try between sessions. The emphasis is on useful strategies that fit into a busy home life.

Karen has particular experience with autism and attention difference (ADHD) and spends time on issues like fatherhood, workplace stress, isolation and self-worth. She also covers intimacy-related concerns, eating and sleeping problems, and compassion fatigue.

If someone is unsure what to expect, Karen asks a few questions at the first meeting to agree goals and pace. She supports adults who want clearer routines, less overwhelm and more straightforward ways to handle challenging family dynamics.
