About Karyn Krawford

Karyn Krawford is a clinical psychotherapist based in Australia who brings seven years of professional experience to her practice. She supports people dealing with stress and anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and mood conditions such as bipolar disorder. Karyn emphasizes creating a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and emotions can be explored openly to help clients move toward greater understanding and wellbeing.

Karyn combines a social science perspective with clinical practice, drawing on interests in culture, ethnicity, organisational dynamics, gender, human rights, political science, and the role of power in society to inform her therapeutic approach. She offers psychoeducation on relationship dynamics, power plays, psychological drivers - how people respond under stress - emotional regulation, and motivation within organisations, and welcomes clients who have particular interests in these areas.

She holds PACFA - the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia - and is certified as an advanced Transactional Analysis Practitioner with the North American Association of Transactional Analysis. Transactional Analysis is a practical framework that supports clearer communication, increased self-awareness, and greater autonomy. Karyn works collaboratively with each person to tailor therapy to their needs and encourages the courage it takes to begin the therapeutic journey.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them, and it supports choosing actions that align with personal values - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and motivation challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns influence current connections and coping, and it can help with relationship difficulties, attachment concerns, and healing from relational trauma. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, empathic therapeutic relationship where the therapist follows the client's lead to build insight and resilience, often helping with depression, low self-esteem, and life transitions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Karyn collaborates with each person to identify the methods that best match their goals, needs, and preferences, and adapts techniques as the therapy unfolds to ensure a good fit.

Online therapy offers flexible options - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - so people can access support from home or while balancing work and family commitments. These formats make it easier to fit regular sessions into busy lives and allow therapists and clients to maintain continuity of care even when in-person visits are not possible.
