About Karina
Karina Nipane is a psychotherapeutic counsellor (NCPS) with three years of experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief and self-esteem concerns. Karina also focuses on life purpose and related challenges such as isolation, attachment and commitment issues.
She uses a pluralistic approach, drawing on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, psychodynamic ideas and humanistic perspectives. Sessions typically involve talking through current difficulties, noticing patterns of thought and behaviour, and learning practical ways to manage distress. Karina aims to collaborate with each person to find what helps in everyday life.
Before practising as a counsellor she supported people in mental health crisis and distress, providing immediate emotional support and guidance. That background informs how she responds when someone arrives feeling overwhelmed or unsure what to do next. It also shaped her experience working with people from diverse backgrounds.
In sessions Karina often helps people process loss, work through painful emotions, and explore what matters after big changes in work, relationships or health. She can help with issues connected to body image, eating concerns, chronic illness, immigration-related stress and postpartum difficulties. Practical coping skills and clearer thinking are common focuses.
People who come because they feel stuck or directionless will find a counsellor who emphasises collaboration and steady pacing. To begin, Karina asks about current struggles, personal goals and what a useful next step might look like. The first meeting usually combines listening with a few practical suggestions.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Karina draws on a small set of evidence-based approaches and uses them in straightforward ways. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and testing unhelpful thoughts and learning practical skills to reduce anxiety and low mood. Psychodynamic ideas help people notice long-standing patterns in relationships and emotions that can affect how they make choices now. Humanistic-informed work centres on exploring personal values and what matters to the individual, which can be useful when thinking about life purpose.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Karina treats this as a collaborative process and checks in about what feels useful. She adapts methods to suit the person’s goals, mood and the pace they prefer rather than imposing a single way of working.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the formats currently offered before booking as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people choose sessions that work around work, childcare or health commitments. Registered or accredited professionals often find online meetings help maintain continuity of care, and Karina will help decide which approach and format fit best for the issues you want to address.
