About Karl
BACP. Nine years' experience. Karl Graham works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. He also supports people with relationship and family concerns, grief, intimacy issues, sleep problems, parenting strain, anger, career worries, bipolar disorder, ADHD and coping with life changes.
Karl uses approaches listed as Client-Centred, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy. Sessions focus on listening, practical strategies and exploring patterns that get in the way of everyday life. He aims to help people spot unhelpful thinking, sharpen coping skills and make small changes that feel manageable.
Appointments follow a straightforward format where people can talk through current problems and set short-term goals. Karl may use mindfulness exercises, behavioural tasks or focused questioning depending on what a person wants to work on. He describes his style as direct and collaborative rather than highly academic.
People who choose him are likely to be looking for practical tools alongside space to reflect. Work often combines thought and behaviour-focused techniques with brief motivational work to support change. Sessions can address both one-off problems and longer standing patterns.
He works in English and accepts clients in the United Kingdom as well as international clients. Cost varies with location and sessions are provided on a subscription basis that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people are asked to use the online counselling options button and complete a short matching questionnaire before booking a first session.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions fit
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and working at the client's pace, helping people feel heard and understood while they decide what to address. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy involves simple attention exercises to reduce reactivity and help with stress and anxiety.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Karl will discuss goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the approach if something is not helping. That collaborative process aims to find what works for each person rather than following a single method.
Confirm current session options before booking as formats are not specified in the biography. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow someone to work with a registered professional who is not local. Ask about specific session formats and any practical arrangements when you complete the initial matching questionnaire.
