Hello. My name is Karen and thank you for taking the time to read my profile.
Maybe you are struggling with anxiety, depression, bereavement, low self-esteem, trauma or perhaps you are just feeling distressed and you don’t know why. It may be that you are struggling to cope with something that has happened in your life.
I am an experienced integrative trauma informed counsellor which means that I am trained to work in a variety of ways to help you with your personal and emotional problems, and my intention is to build a relationship with you that is safe and comfortable enough to share your thoughts and feelings, without feeling judged or dismissed.
I can help by supporting you to identify the root of your problem that you are trying to deal with. By working together we can look at to understand why you are feeling the way you do.
I can help guide you through times of difficulty towards a deeper understanding of yourself, your feelings, thoughts and behaviours as well as identifying ways of finding your own solutions to problems.
Whatever you bring to the session is what we will work with. The sessions are led by you, the client, and not me. We can explore your issues, feelings, beliefs, and behaviour so you can become more self-aware and when we become self aware we can feel more in control of ourselves and make different choices.
When we can understand and make sense of why we are thinking, behaving, and feeling the way we do can help us to learn to accept ourselves, feel more confident, make better, healthier choices and have a general overall more happier and peaceful outlook on life.
I firmly believe that by working collaboratively with my clients it helps them find a sense of hope and direction, as well as enhancing their own internal resilience.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
