Her therapy sessions will be individually tailored to suit your needs as we all experience challenges in differing ways and what you want and need out of therapy is unique to you.

Therapy will move at a safe pace to suit each client and allow you to explore and process issues that are preventing you living a full and happy life.

How Karen works
For the last couple of years, Karen has managed a rape crisis centre and has completed many training courses in this area. She is a person-centred counsellor and works with an integrative approach, which means she pulls from many different theories and modalities to allow her to give her clients a personalised therapy to best suit their needs.
Karen sees her counselling work as a privilege, to be trusted with a client’s insecurities, fears and traumas is a privilege she takes seriously and will always work in the clients best interests, with the utmost confidentiality. Trauma and adverse childhood experiences (ACE’s) can stay locked in the body and mind and affect all areas of our life, with empathetic counselling we will work together to help process and become aware of the choices and decisions that may be affecting your present life and creating a barrier to future peace and happiness.
