Only had two sessions with Karen but already feel like we have established a nice relationship that I can open up. She listens to me and lets me open up and helps me understand what it is I’m actually trying to unravel. She’s lovely and I’m happy with my therapist

Karen has been wonderful in the few weeks I've known her. She's actively listens to you and understands your needs while also taking time to explain what's going on in your head while also providing some motivation.
