It feels like she knows my thoughts before I can communicate them. I feel seen and heard unlike I have been before. I would definitely recommend Karen to anyone looking to overcome childhood trauma.

Registered MBACP Therapeutic Counsellor | CBT Specialist | Integrative Approach
Welcome, my name is Karen - I am so glad you are here. I believe that everyone should have a personal and safe space to explore, heal, and grow.
Life can be overwhelming at times and you may have a specific issue that you would like to make sense of to overcome. You could be facing anxiety, low mood, relationship struggles, overthinking, or simply feeling stuck. Whatever you need, I offer a calm, supportive environment where teens and adults alike can talk openly and begin to make sense of what’s going on.
As an experienced, credentialed counsellor, I am here to support you in exploring your issues, helping you to understand perhaps why you think, feel and behave the way that you do. I can provide you with tools and coping strategies, tailored to your unique needs, for you to be able to have a better experience of life. My approach is grounded in empathy, respect, and a deep belief in your ability to grow and heal. Together, we’ll explore your story and uncover the strengths and insights that already live within you.
I specialise in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), but I work primarily as an integrative counsellor - blending techniques from various therapeutic approaches to create a personalised plan that meets your counselling goals. No two people are the same, and your sessions will reflect that.
Whether you're seeking support for a specific issue or simply need someone to talk to, you're welcome here. Let’s take the next step together.

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.

Karen has been so so helpful to me. She listens, understands and helps me to understand myself better. Our sessions are positive in every respect and I so feel her benefit.
Karen’s calm manner and deep experience has really helped me address the challenges I’ve been facing. I can’t recommend Karen highly enough
I was really nervous about starting therapy, I’ve never been one to talk about my emotions and open up to people. Karen made me feel instantly at ease, she takes things at my pace and is very gentle with her approach. She takes the time to get to know you as a person, your likes/dislikes and finds common ground to make you feel comfortable. Karen has been amazing and I would recommend her expertise to anyone
Karen is understanding and compassionate while being firm with helping me understand how my issues affect my everyday life. Her knowledge in a variety of different areas makes for a very well rounded explanation
Karen has been a great help so far in helping my understand why I may behave the way I do and is working with me to overcome this and make me a better person, I hope
