About Karolina
Karolina Callaghan practises as a counsellor and therapist with a humanistic orientation. She uses a compassionate, respectful style and aims to work collaboratively with each person. Karolina speaks English and Czech and is based in the United Kingdom.
She holds BACP, which denotes membership of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists. Karolina believes people know themselves best and brings a gentle, relational presence to sessions. She invites clients to bring whatever feels important and helps them talk through feelings and life events.
How Karolina works
This includes issues such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief and trauma. Her early career included around a decade in health and social care roles within the NHS and personal settings. During her postgraduate training she worked as a therapist in a hospice supporting people with grief and loss.
She also volunteered with a low-cost counselling charity, helping people with depression, anxiety, alcoholism and self-esteem concerns. In sessions Karolina helps people notice what matters to them and to recognise when old coping strategies no longer fit. She pays attention to relationships and to how choices can open up more authentic ways of living.
Practical conversations about work, money, pregnancy and caregiving are included when they matter. Karolina works with people facing a range of life challenges, including relationship and intimacy-related issues, eating and food-related concerns, career difficulties, and end-of-life matters. Her approach aims to create a steady, accepting space where change can be explored at a person’s own pace.

How Karolina's approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and helping a person find their own answers. It suits people who want a supportive, non-directive space to talk about stress, anxiety, relationships and self-worth. Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice and personal responsibility and can help when life changes, grief or questions about purpose feel overwhelming.Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work with the person to decide which ways of working fit their needs, goals and preferences. Sessions begin with practical conversations about what the person hopes to get from therapy and the method can be adjusted over time.
Online sessions give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual contact matters. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can suit shorter check-ins or days when being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send messages between or instead of calls for faster checks in and ongoing reflection. Registered or accredited professionals use these formats to make therapy more accessible around work, caregiving and busy lives.
