Karl Graham, BACP

Karl Graham is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with nine years of experience. He holds BACP accreditation and specialises in common struggles such as anxiety, depression and addiction. Karl aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and respectful.

He offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through difficult feelings. Sessions focus on listening first, then finding practical ways forward that suit each person's life. Karl emphasises being heard and supported before moving on to change.

His work covers a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, grief and relationship or intimacy-related problems. He also helps people dealing with sleep problems, anger, career pressures and the complexities of ADHD and bipolar mood issues. Additional areas of focus include attachment and abandonment issues, eating and substance use problems, and feelings of emptiness.

Karl uses a mix of straightforward methods. These include client-centred conversation, cognitive behavioural techniques, mindfulness and solution-focused planning. Motivational interviewing is included when people need help finding reasons to change. The style is practical and collaborative rather than lecturing.

Sessions happen online by video, phone, live chat or messaging to fit different needs. International clients who speak English can work with him. To start, people choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to availability.

How Karl’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on building a trusting, non-judgemental relationship where the person leads the conversation and feels listened to. It helps when someone needs space to make sense of their thoughts and emotions without pressure.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical steps to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and many day-to-day challenges.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and increase calm. These techniques can support coping with strong emotions and improve sleep and focus.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Karl will discuss options and try methods that fit a person's goals and preferences. Decisions are made together so sessions feel relevant and manageable.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and messaging. Video is close to a face-to-face session and lets people use visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a short break. Live chat or text-based messaging suits quick check-ins, written reflection and people who prefer not to be on camera. These formats help make regular therapy easier to schedule and sustain.
