Karina Kaminski, NCPS

Karina Kaminski offers a warm, person-focused way of working that keeps the client at the centre of sessions. She uses straightforward conversation and practical tools to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief and low self-esteem. Karina presents herself in a caring, non-judgemental manner and listens to what each person wants to achieve from therapy.

Karina holds the NCPS credential, which is listed as NCPS. She has three years of experience working in mental health settings in the United Kingdom. Her background includes supporting people through depression, bereavement, emotional and domestic abuse, panic attacks and trauma. She also has experience with social phobia and the self-esteem struggles that can affect young adults.

Her day-to-day approach blends client-centred listening with practical cognitive-behavioural tools and mindfulness exercises. Sessions focus on clear goals and short-term strategies when useful, alongside space to reflect on feelings and life patterns. Karina avoids labels and aims to treat each person with sensitivity and respect.

Areas she regularly addresses include parenting concerns, relationship difficulties, anger, coping with life changes and compassion fatigue. She also works with issues such as attachment difficulties, body image, caregiver strain, guilt and shame, and post-traumatic stress. The aim is to help people build skills they can use between sessions.

People who choose Karina can expect collaborative planning, gentle challenge and practical takeaways. She encourages small, steady steps towards change and supports people as they try new ways of coping.

How Karina’s approaches translate to online support

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. The therapist follows the client’s lead, offering empathy and space to talk through feelings and goals. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and helps people test and change unhelpful habits; it is often used for anxiety, panic and depression.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through your needs, goals and preferences and suggest a way forward. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, for example by saving travel time, allowing sessions during a lunch break or offering shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use mindfulness practices in their own routines and put CBT tasks straight into everyday life. Registered or accredited professionals aim to tailor online sessions so they fit with what people can manage and want to achieve.
