Karina Dollery, BACP
About me
I am a registered member of the BACP in the UK with face to face experience. I have experience in helping adults and young people. My main area of work is centred on focusing on the cause of substance misuse and relapse, trauma and abuse, coping with grief and loss, as well as helping with finding underlying causes of anxiety and depression and looking at developing new coping skills.
As an integrative counsellor I use Person centred, Solution focused, CBT, Psycho-dynamic and Psycho-eduction to help you along your journey.
I work in Substance Misuse and if you would like to talk to me about this I need to make you aware I am not trained in specific addiction counselling so I am unable to offer you this or addiction CBT. Please look at other profiles to see if they can support you.
I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. It’s important that you decide what you would like your sessions to be focused on. Together we can help create realistic goals using an holistic approach which meet your unique and specific needs. This can be done via video calls or messaging and I am happy to checkin with you through the week if you feel this may be beneficial.
It takes courage to seek a counsellor to explore your thoughts with, and to take the first steps towards change. I am here to support you in that journey.

She has been really helpful in exploring the issues I’ve been having and has really helped me identify aspects which may be making them worse and giving me ways to develop strategies to cope with them.

This is my first experience of using better help and of online therapy, but so far I'm finding it very helpful. I feel very comfortable talking through all kinds of problems with Karina.
