Karolina Callaghan
Humanistic counsellor focusing on growth and choice
About Karolina
Karolina Callaghan is a humanistic counsellor who brings three years of clinical experience to her practice. She works from a compassionate, respectful stance and aims to build a collaborative relationship with each person. Karolina speaks English and Czech and practises in the United Kingdom.
She is a BACP member, which denotes the professional register she holds. Karolina centres sessions on what the client brings in. She listens for the person behind the problem and helps them name feelings and priorities.
Background and approach
Conversations focus on practical ways to notice patterns and try new choices when old coping strategies stop working. Her background includes a postgraduate diploma in Humanistic Psychotherapy and Counselling from the University of Brighton. During training she worked as a therapist in a hospice supporting people with grief and end-of-life concerns.
She also volunteered with a low-cost counselling service, offering support for depression, anxiety, low self-esteem and addiction-related worries. Typical issues Karolina supports include stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, self-esteem, grief, trauma and abuse, eating and food-related issues, and career questions.
She also pays attention to caregiver stress, feelings of emptiness, guilt and shame, money worries, pregnancy and childbirth matters, and workplace problems. Sessions are shaped by the person's needs and the humanistic belief that each client is the expert on their own life.
Karolina aims to create a steady, non-judgemental space where people can explore what matters and try different ways of responding to life's difficulties.

How Client-Centred and Existential Work Fits Online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person as an expert in their own life. The counsellor offers empathy and acceptance to help people name feelings and decide what matters. This approach is useful for stress, anxiety, self-esteem and relationship concerns.Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice and personal responsibility. It helps when people feel stuck, empty or questioning life purpose. The style encourages honest conversations about values, freedom and the consequences of choices.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Karolina will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative decision can change over time as needs shift.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can work better when less bandwidth is available or for quieter check-ins. Live chat and messaging suit short reflections, written processing or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options help people fit counselling around work, family and other commitments.
