About Karina
Counsellor Karina Kaminski is a member of NCPS with three years' experience. She works in the United Kingdom and supports people with stress, anxiety, grief, parenting concerns, low self-esteem, depression, relationship difficulties, anger and compassion fatigue.
Karina uses a client-centred way of working. She listens to what each person wants to change and responds with clear conversation rather than jargon. Sessions are practical and focused on what helps someone manage day-to-day problems and strong feelings.
She also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try different ways of coping. This can include learning short skills to reduce panic, manage worry, or steady mood swings. Karina will discuss simple, doable tools in sessions and practise them together.
Solution-focused ideas guide parts of her work when people want quicker, goal-orientated changes. These sessions look at what is already working and build small steps from there. Karina describes this as collaborative problem solving rather than a fixed programme.
Her background includes work with adults facing trauma, bereavement and domestic abuse, and with people dealing with parenting strain and adoption or foster care matters. She explains things plainly and helps people weigh options for coping in everyday life.
Sessions are offered in English. People are asked to confirm current session formats before booking so they understand how meetings are arranged.
How Karina uses CBT and mindfulness in online counselling
Karina commonly uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns. CBT work often involves naming specific thoughts, trying short experiments and practising different responses to anxiety or low mood. This approach can help with panic attacks, worry and repetitive negative thinking.She also uses mindfulness methods that teach brief attention and breathing exercises. Mindfulness in sessions aims to reduce reactivity to strong emotions and improve concentration. These skills are practical for stress, grief and managing difficult feelings day to day.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Karina will discuss what feels most useful and try methods together in the early sessions. This is a collaborative process where goals, preferences and what has helped before guide the plan.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare or travel. It can also let people use shorter check-ins, avoid travel time or choose not to be on camera during some meetings. Registered or accredited professionals will often adapt session length and pacing to match a person's schedule and practical needs.
