Do you want somewhere safe to talk? Are you troubled by traumatic memories? Are you struggling with depression, anxiety and/or stress? Would you like to improve your confidence & self-esteem and feel happier? Hello, I am Karen, a fully qualified, BACP Psychotherapeutic Counsellor. I consider myself to be warm, caring, non-judgmental, sensitive and supportive. I am a LGBTQ+ ally and have experience of working with neurodiverse clients. I am skilled in helping people to improve their self-esteem, manage anxiety and depression, and to create more satisfying relationships with themselves and others.
I have a special interest in supporting people who have experienced sexual violence/abuse and helping people to address childhood trauma/developmental problems. I believe passionately in the benefits of counselling and love my work. It is a privilege for me to support people through their difficulties and help them find their way to live happier lives.
I know that taking that first step can often feel difficult especially if you don't know what to expect. You can expect me to be warm, welcoming and non-judgmental. All you need do is get in touch! You can contact me in whatever way feels most comfortable - by telephone, text, WhatsApp or email and we can arrange a free initial 15 minute chat.
