Karina Kaminski , NCPS

Karina Kaminski is a counsellor who uses a client-centred approach to help people facing stress, anxiety, grief and life transitions. She brings a warm, non-judgemental style to sessions and focuses on what each person wants to achieve. Karina holds NCPS and works from the United Kingdom.

Her work commonly addresses depression, low self-esteem, panic attacks and relationship difficulties. She also supports people dealing with parenting strain, compassion fatigue and body image concerns. Karina has experience with trauma-related issues including post-traumatic stress and domestic violence, and she helps people manage overwhelming emotions such as anger and guilt.

Karina blends practical cognitive behavioural techniques with mindfulness and solution-focused strategies. That means she helps people spot unhelpful thoughts, try small behaviour changes, and practise grounding or awareness exercises in session. Conversations are shaped around short-term goals as well as deeper personal understanding when needed.

Sessions can include problem-solving exercises, thought records, relaxation practices and reflective conversation. Karina aims to tailor each plan to the person in front of her, adjusting pace and focus according to what is helpful. She stresses collaboration and clear steps so progress feels tangible.

With three years of experience, Karina offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Sessions are organised through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and then appointments are scheduled according to therapist availability.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online counselling

Karina commonly uses Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in online work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and helping a person lead the conversation; it is useful for building trust, exploring values and working through grief or low self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behaviour changes; it suits anxiety, panic attacks, depression and problem-solving.

Finding the best approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques and adjust methods based on what feels most helpful. This collaborative process means sessions can shift between reflective listening, practical exercises and mindful awareness as needed.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and guided exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, written reflections or people who prefer not to use audio. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and day-to-day life while keeping the focus on progress and practical steps.
