About Karina
Karina Kaminski is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has three years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom. She works with adults on common concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain and low self-esteem. Karina also lists parenting stress and compassion fatigue among her regular areas of work. She speaks English and does not currently take international clients.
Karina has supported people facing trauma, panic attacks, emotional and domestic abuse, and financial abuse. She has also worked with young adults who struggle with social phobia, low confidence and depressive symptoms. Sessions focus on practical ways to reduce distress and on clearer thinking about next steps.
Her practice draws on client-centred work alongside cognitive behavioural and mindfulness techniques. That means conversations are guided by what the person wants to change, and may include looking at thought patterns, testing small changes, and learning simple mindfulness skills. Solution-focused ideas are used to set short-term goals and track progress.
In sessions Karina aims to listen without judgement and to respond with straightforward, respectful feedback. She avoids diagnostic labels and focuses on concrete steps people can try between meetings. People often bring day-to-day pressures such as work, study, money and relationships, and the work concentrates on what can be done now.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Fees vary by location and the service uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How Karina uses CBT, client-centred and mindfulness approaches online
Karina combines client-centred work with cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness in a practical way. Client-centred work means conversations focus on the person's priorities and what they want to change. This helps with issues like low self-esteem, relationship worries and deciding next steps.Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. Online sessions using CBT may include identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, trying small behavioural experiments and tracking results to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that reduce stress and panic symptoms. These skills are brief and can be practised between sessions to help with overwhelm and emotional regulation.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist and client will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adapt the plan together in a collaborative way.
