About Karina

Karina Nipane is a NCPS counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, low self-esteem and depression. Karina also notes additional focus areas such as codependency, attachment and body image concerns.

Karina uses a pluralistic way of working, drawing on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, psychodynamic ideas and humanistic approaches. She talks through patterns of thought and behaviour and helps people process difficult feelings. Sessions are collaborative and paced to what each person can manage.

Before training as a psychotherapeutic counsellor, Karina supported people in mental health crisis and distress. That background shaped how she responds to urgent emotional need and informed her practical approach in calmer work. She brings experience from a range of mental health settings and with diverse life experiences.

In a typical session she will help people identify unhelpful thinking, explore early relationship patterns, and practise different ways of responding. Work can include talking about loss, setting boundaries where relationships feel one-sided, and building clearer self‑regard. The focus is on small, workable changes rather than big, rapid overhauls.

Karina uses evidence-based techniques where helpful and adapts them to the person in front of her. She asks about each person's situation and helps pick tools that fit their goals. To begin, clients follow the site's matching process and then book an initial session.

How sessions work

How Karina works with evidence-based approaches online

Karina draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. CBT is practical and task-focused, useful for anxiety, low mood and stress by breaking problems into manageable steps.

She also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at how early relationship patterns influence present difficulties. This helps when codependency, attachment wounds or recurrent relationship problems keep reappearing.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Karina will discuss different methods and agree together which fits a person's needs, goals and comfort level. That collaborative choice can change over time as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make sessions easier to fit into a busy week and can reduce travel time. Some formats allow shorter check-ins or audio-only conversations when video is difficult, which can help keep therapy practical alongside everyday responsibilities.
