About Karina
Karina Kaminski is a counsellor who draws on human-centred and evidence-informed techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief and parenting concerns. She works in a straightforward, respectful way and aims to make conversations feel calm and constructive. Karina holds NCPS and practises in the United Kingdom.
Her sessions focus on what a person wants to change and how to reach those goals. She listens without judgement and helps people set realistic steps.
Background and approach
Practical strategies are mixed with reflective conversation so clients can both understand and act on what matters to them. Karina uses cognitive behavioural tools to spot unhelpful thinking and shift patterns that increase worry or low mood. She also brings in mindfulness practices to help people notice thoughts and feelings without becoming overwhelmed.
Solution-focused elements keep work goal-directed and time-efficient when needed. The therapist has three years of experience working with a wide range of concerns, from panic attacks and post-traumatic stress to relationship strain and compassion fatigue. She also supports issues related to adoption and foster care, attachment difficulties and caregiver stress.
In sessions people can expect warmth, clear listening and collaborative planning. Karina helps clients break problems into manageable steps and builds on their strengths. She encourages steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Practical approaches for online parenting support
Client-centred therapy puts the person at the heart of the work. The therapist listens closely, reflects what matters to the client and helps them choose the direction of therapy. This approach suits people who want a respectful, paced space to talk through parenting challenges or life stress.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. It teaches simple exercises to reduce worry and build more helpful habits, which can support issues like anxiety, panic and low mood. Mindfulness therapy teaches ways to notice thoughts and feelings with less reactivity, which can calm stress and improve focus in busy family life.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to decide which approaches suit a person's goals, needs and preferences, and adjusts over time as things change.
Online sessions use video calls, phone conversations, live chat or messaging. Video is good when you want face-to-face time, phone can work with lower bandwidth, and chat or messaging suits short check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and daily routines while keeping the focus on practical steps and steady progress.
