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. I am a licenced UK Psychotherapist and work internationally with clients (except in North America).
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.
