About Karina
Karina Nipane NCPS is a psychotherapeutic counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, self-esteem and depression, and she lists guilt and shame among her focus areas. Karina supports people facing life changes, painful loss, and challenges tied to identity and relationships.
Her approach is pluralistic. She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, psychodynamic ideas and humanistic ways of working to respond to what a person needs in the room. Sessions often include talking through patterns of thought and behaviour, and making small practical changes people can try between meetings.
Before moving into psychotherapeutic counselling, Karina supported people in mental health crisis and distress. That work shaped how she responds when emotions feel raw or overwhelming and taught her how to offer clear emotional support in difficult moments.
Karina aims to work collaboratively. She listens for what matters most, checks in about how interventions are landing, and adjusts the focus as needed. Conversations may cover attachment and abandonment wounds, body image, codependency, eating and food-related concerns, and issues such as guilt, shame, immigration stress and infidelity.
Her practice also includes support around chronic pain, illness and disability, pregnancy and childbirth issues, postpartum depression, loneliness and life purpose. People who choose to work with her typically get a mix of reflective discussion and practical strategies to manage day-to-day difficulties.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Karina describes her work as pluralistic, drawing from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and psychodynamic and humanistic approaches. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical steps to shift unhelpful patterns. Psychodynamic ideas explore how past relationships and experiences shape current feelings and recurring patterns in relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Karina will collaborate with the client to decide which methods to try, checking what helps and changing direction if needed. That collaborative tuning helps focus on immediate problems such as anxiety or guilt, while also allowing space to look at longer-running patterns.
Practical benefits of online work include fitting therapy around daily life and reducing travel time. Please confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed in the biography. Many people find online sessions useful for keeping regular appointments, having shorter check-ins when needed, and choosing whether to work with or without video to suit their energy on the day.
