More about Karin

  • 4 years' experience
  • Female
  • BACP

I’m Karin, an experienced and professional BACP qualified counsellor, working with individuals and with couples. I offer support and a safe space to work through your difficulties, issues and emotions. I'm caring and understanding, with a warm approach and a good sense of humour.

As an integrative counsellor I tailor sessions with my clients, to meet

your unique needs and personality. This means working with you to find a way to understand your thoughts, feelings, actions or experiences and a way through your problems towards your goals and a happier & healthier you.

My role is to give you time and tools, to help you feel empowered and able to create positive change or to gain acceptance with problems. When you are feeling overwhelmed with life's stress and not sure where to turn, counselling can get you back on track to a more positive future. No matter what your age or situation, talking things through confidentially can bring clarity to your thoughts and focus to your plans. Having the opportunity to off-load anxieties, complicated feelings, or worries to someone who isn't family, but who does have the experience and sensitivity to listen to you, can help you explore a different, more positive path.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
