Karen Bland, NCPS

Karen Bland is a UK-licensed therapist with nine years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem challenges. She brings a respectful, sensitive, and compassionate approach to her work and emphasizes collaboration to create a treatment plan that fits each person’s distinct needs and goals.

Karen works with a range of related concerns including abandonment and attachment issues, codependency, communication and control problems, divorce and separation, domestic violence, feelings of emptiness or isolation, and questions about life purpose and midlife change. Her practice also addresses forgiveness, guilt and shame, impulsivity, and other family-related struggles that affect everyday functioning and relationships.

Her clinical work draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Internal Family Systems to help people explore their patterns, build practical skills, and access internal resources for change. She also uses The MAP Method, described by her as a neuroscience-informed technique that supports positive shifts in thinking and behaviour.

Karen holds the NCPS credential, a professional mental health qualification, and she aims to empower people to take the courageous first steps toward a more fulfilling and balanced life. Her style is collaborative and tailored, with an emphasis on helping each person feel heard and supported throughout the therapeutic process.
