Karen Murdock, BACP, NCPS

Karen Murdock is a counsellor registered with BACP and NCPS. She has four years of clinical experience and works from the United Kingdom. Her practice focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, sleeping problems, self-esteem, grief, anger, career changes, ADHD and codependency.

Karen draws on client-centred work alongside psychodynamic ideas and cognitive behavioural techniques. Sessions are practical and conversational. She helps people notice patterns that repeat in relationships and daily life, and practises techniques to manage strong emotions and intrusive thoughts.

People who come to her often want to understand where old patterns began. Karen uses discussion and reflective feedback to trace those patterns. She also offers skills to reduce anxiety, improve sleep and handle hard days with more steadiness.

Her experience includes working with chronic illness, chronic pain and caregiver stress. She recognises how health and family roles affect mood, finances and day-to-day functioning, and she addresses those practical pressures alongside emotional work.

Sessions aim to strengthen communication and self-regulation. Karen helps people set small, manageable steps for change. The emphasis is on clarity, learning specific strategies and building more reliable routines.

To begin, visitors complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first appointment. The practice uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary with location.
