About Karina
Karina uses a pluralistic approach, drawing on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, psychodynamic ideas and humanistic work. Sessions focus on what the person needs now - looking at thoughts and behaviours, making sense of strong emotions, and noticing patterns that repeat in relationships. She describes working collaboratively and at a pace that suits the individual.
Before moving into counselling, Karina worked supporting people in mental health crisis and distress. That background shaped how she responds to intense emotions and sudden life changes, and informs practical ways to manage overwhelming moments. She has also worked with people from diverse backgrounds, so cultural and personal differences are part of how she frames conversations.
In sessions she may help people untangle issues such as attachment and abandonment, body image and eating concerns, chronic illness or pain, loneliness, and the aftermath of infidelity or immigration stress. She also supports perinatal concerns including pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum depression.
Karina asks clients to pick a matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to begin. Her practice uses a subscription model for sessions, and fees vary with location and the subscription plan.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Karina works from a pluralistic base, so online sessions may use a mix of approaches chosen to fit the person's needs. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments, which can be useful for anxiety and low mood. Psychodynamic-informed work looks at recurring relationship patterns and explores how past experiences influence current behaviour. Humanistic elements focus on the person’s experience in the moment, helping them notice feelings and make intentional choices.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Karina aims to figure out the best fit together, discussing what methods feel most useful and adjusting the plan as goals and preferences become clearer. The process is collaborative and reviewed over time to keep it relevant to each person’s circumstances.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often use remote work to maintain continuity after life changes and to allow people to schedule sessions around work, childcare or medical appointments.
