About Karen Dodd
Karen Dodd is a BACP-credentialed counsellor based in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience.

She works with people across a wide range of life challenges, bringing practical therapeutic approaches alongside empathetic support.
She has strong experience supporting clients with stress and anxiety arising from both personal life and the workplace. Relationship difficulties and family challenges are a key focus, and she works with individuals and families to explore communication, attachment patterns, and practical ways to improve connection.
Bereavement and loss are areas she regularly supports; she helps people manage the shock that can follow a loss and to work through the different stages of grief. In addition, Karen volunteers as a counsellor for a cancer charity and has experience supporting people living with cancer and the effects a diagnosis can have on family and loved ones.
Having worked in a large corporate environment for many years, she understands work-related stress, the pressures of balancing work and family life, and the disorientation redundancy can bring. She has also worked with many neurodivergent clients and offers support for the anxiety that can accompany neurodiversity, as well as providing help with issues linked to the menopause.
Karen offers practical support for motivation, self-esteem, and confidence, particularly where these have been affected by job loss or major life changes. She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, tailoring sessions and treatment plans to meet individual needs. She recognises that starting therapy can take courage and welcomes the opportunity to work with people ready to begin that process.
