About Karolina

Karolina Callaghan is a counsellor and therapist who brings three years of clinical experience to her work. She practises from a humanistic and existential perspective and aims to offer a calm, respectful space for people to talk about what matters to them. Karolina speaks English and Czech and is based in the United Kingdom.

Karolina places compassion and empathy at the centre of sessions. She works collaboratively, helping people look at their feelings and life choices.

Background and approach

She listens for what is important to each person and helps them notice patterns that may no longer be helpful. Her background includes a postgraduate diploma in Humanistic Psychotherapy and Counselling from the University of Brighton. Before training, she spent a decade working in health and social care settings, including roles in the NHS and personal services.

She also worked in a hospice supporting people with grief and loss and volunteered with a low-cost counselling charity. Karolina is a member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists - BACP. She uses Client-Centred and Existential approaches to help people explore concerns such as stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties, identity and life transitions.

Sessions can also address trauma and abuse, grief, eating and workplace issues. People often come for help with feeling stuck, coping with change, or managing guilt and shame. Karolina aims to help clients notice their options, build self-understanding and find ways to move forward that fit their values.

Approaches Karolina names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist lists and does not check training records.

Online support

Approaches that shape online sessions

Existential Therapy helps people look at meaning, freedom and responsibility in their lives. It supports those facing life transitions, questions about purpose, emptiness or decisions that feel heavy. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and acceptance. It aims to build self-understanding and self-worth by following what the person brings and responding without judgment.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Karolina will work collaboratively to see which ideas and practical steps suit a person's needs and goals. Over a few sessions she will check in and adapt the way she works so it aligns with each person's preferences and what they want to achieve.

Online sessions can use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for longer discussions and seeing facial cues, while phone sessions suit people who prefer not to be on camera or have limited bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging can be a shorter way to check in or fit counselling around a busy day. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family or health commitments.
