Violet Karamagi, BACP

Violet Karamagi is a psychotherapeutic counsellor who focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem and career pressures. She speaks plainly and offers steady support to people trying to make life changes. Violet believes clients know their own story and brings a collaborative style to each session.

With three years of professional experience, Violet works with people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure about next steps. She supports those coping with loss, separation and the practical strains of life transitions. Her practice also addresses struggles around motivation, confidence and finding purpose.

Violet pays close attention to how past family relationships affect present choices and feelings. She helps people untangle guilt, shame, jealousy and issues that come from family of origin or blended family situations. Immigration stress, money worries and problems with communication also feature in her practice.

Sessions aim to identify small, manageable changes that make daily life easier. Violet works alongside clients to build coping skills and improve how they relate to others. She encourages practical steps tailored to each person’s goals and situation.

People can expect a warm, straightforward approach that values their strengths. Violet offers a calm space to talk things through, name what matters and plan next steps toward a more satisfying life.

Therapeutic approaches for online working

Violet draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. One common approach involves helping people identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, then experimenting with small changes to feel less overwhelmed and more in control. This suits problems like anxiety, low mood and stress in daily life.

Another technique concentrates on relationships and communication. It helps people recognise patterns in how they relate to others, practise clearer ways of speaking and set healthier boundaries, which can be useful for relationship strain, infidelity or blended family tensions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and Violet works collaboratively to tailor methods to each person. She discusses goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before, and together they choose techniques to try and review progress over time.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy fit daily routines. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and messaging lets people reflect in writing between sessions. These options increase flexibility for different schedules and preferences.
