Karen Atwill, BACP

Karen Atwill is a UK-based therapist with 25 years of professional experience and a track record of supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, family conflict, parenting challenges, and grief. She creates an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored, and she works collaboratively to help people take the first steps toward a more fulfilling life.

Her training includes membership of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), Relate training for couples work, and completion of family therapy training at the Institute of Family Therapy, which informs her systemic work with families seeking resolution. She has extensive experience working with couples and families as well as individuals facing issues such as trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, anger, self-esteem struggles, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and the emotional impact of life changes.

Karen integrates a range of therapeutic approaches to suit each person or family, drawing on client-centered principles, Jungian ideas, mindfulness techniques, narrative and psychodynamic perspectives, solution-focused strategies, Internal Family Systems, and systemic therapy. Her practice aims to support and empower people to find practical ways forward, improve communication, and rebuild connection within relationships and families.
