About Karen Murdock

Karen Murdock is a qualified integrative counsellor based in the United Kingdom, holding BACP and NCPS credentials which indicate professional qualifications in counselling. She practices from an integrative, client-centered perspective, combining psychodynamic insight, person-centred warmth, and cognitive-behavioural strategies to create a tailored approach for each person she works with.

Her work addresses a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, low self-esteem, grief, anger, career issues, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Karen also brings significant experience supporting people living with chronic pain, chronic fatigue, long-term medical conditions, and psychosomatic difficulties, and she understands the personal, professional, and family impacts these challenges can create.

In sessions she focuses on exploring the roots of presenting problems, strengthening self-regulation and communication, and fostering trust so change can be sustained over time. She adapts evidence-informed tools and therapeutic relationships to the goals and life perspective of each client, aiming to build resilience and help break long-standing patterns.

Clients often say they value her attentive, non-judgemental listening and practical focus on meaningful, sustainable shifts.
