Karina Nipane

Karina Nipane is a psychotherapeutic counsellor who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief and low self-esteem. She is experienced with issues like abandonment, attachment difficulties, isolation and loneliness, body image and life transitions. Karina aims to make the first step feel manageable and offers a calm, steady presence during difficult moments.

She has three years of experience and holds an NCPS credential. Her earlier roles involved supporting people in mental health crisis and distress, which shaped her practical, compassionate way of working. That background means she is used to offering emotional support when things feel urgent.

Karina uses a pluralistic approach, mixing Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, psychodynamic ideas and humanistic perspectives to suit each person. In practice this means she might help you notice unhelpful thinking patterns, look at past relationship patterns that repeat, or focus on values and strengths to guide change.

Sessions are collaborative and paced to your comfort. Conversations can include practical exercises, gentle reflection and planning steps to test new ways of coping between meetings. The aim is clearer thinking, steadier emotions and more confidence in daily life.

She works in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

How Karina’s approaches work online and in conversation

Karina draws on a mix of approaches that are easy to explain and use. Cognitive Behavioural ideas focus on spotting patterns of thought and behaviour and trying small experiments to change them; this helps with anxiety, low mood and unhelpful routines. Psychodynamic-informed work looks at repeating relationship patterns and past experiences that shape current feelings, which can be useful for attachment and abandonment concerns. Humanistic elements centre on values, strengths and building a kinder relationship with yourself, often used when people are seeking life purpose or working through grief.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Karina will ask about your goals and preferences and then suggest a combination of methods to try. Together you can check what helps and adjust the plan as you go, so it stays relevant to your needs.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the precise session options when booking. Some benefits commonly reported include easier scheduling around work or childcare, the ability to have a shorter check-in when time is tight, and not needing to travel to appointments. These practical advantages can make it simpler to keep therapy consistent while balancing daily life.
