Hello, my name is Kara and I am a qualified Counsellor and Psychotherapist. We can often feel alone with our problems and unsure how to begin to resolve them or where to go for help. Counselling provides an opportunity for you to make sense of the difficulties you are experiencing and help find a way to move forward and feel better equipped to cope with future challenges. I provide a safe and confidential space for you to talk about issues and concerns that may be related to a recent development, or may be due to past experiences, which are now negatively impacting on your life.

Nosce Te Ipsum. Therapy begins with a dialogue about what indeed brought the client into the therapeutic setting. Clients’ thoughts, feelings and experiences provide much of the fodder for a therapeutic dialogue. Much of the work in therapy involves making sense of these thoughts and emotions. The therapist educes the client’s stories; clients narrate and share them. This integrative framework provide the lens in which I listen and connect to the narratives and presenting issues of my clients. As the tempo takes its momentum, a gradual progression of humanistic kinship, trust and understanding between my client and I are entrenched.

No one else sees or hears the world as your do" This is a quote I love and work from, written by the author and poet John O' Donoghue .

Therapy is a unique journey where we walk side by side to discover a better way of living. As a therapist my focus is to create a safe space, where you can be yourself and speak without consequence, where your feelings can be shared without judgement. Everyone is an unique person with their own experiences, but each of us deserves a chance to explore them and to become the best version of ourselves. The relationship we build is different than those we have in everyday life, where you can express yourself freely, without filtering your thoughts and feelings. We all deserve to be seen and heard.

How does therapy for self-harm work?
A person may turn to self-injury so that they can distract themselves from their stress, depression, anxiety, or upsetting circumstances. Therapy can address the cause of an individual’s suffering. A therapist can help a person understand why they may want to self-harm and help the person learn new methods of coping. A person may have poor emotion regulation, and treatment such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is helpful for breaking this behaviour. In addition, treatment such as dialectical behaviour therapy can help a person manage their tolerance of distress.
Which therapies are best for self-harm?
Specific approaches used by professionals include cognitive behavioural, dialectical behaviour, psychodynamic, and mentalisation-based therapies, among others. Cognitive behavioural and dialectical behaviour therapies are common approaches for people who have painful thoughts and past traumas. These therapies help an individual cope with distress, regulate emotions, and manage impulsive urges.
Does the tendency to self-harm mean the person is suicidal?
Having this urge does not mean the individual suffers from suicidal ideation. People who want to self-injure look to distract or alleviate themselves from the pain they are experiencing. People with suicidal tendencies want to end life altogether. However, this does not mean a person with the intent to self-harm will not attempt suicide.
How often and how long are therapy sessions for self-harm?
As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual. Clients may see improvement within 20 sessions, at an average of 50 minutes per session, while others may opt for 20 to 30 sessions over, maybe, a six-month period. People, especially those with co-occurring conditions like depression and anxiety, may need to continue therapy for up to 12 to 18 months.
