My Story
A vocation rooted in care
My name is Karen. I am a passionate, qualified, and experienced integrative counsellor who works with individuals aged 16 and above, couples, and families. I am a member of the NCPS and work within the ethical framework. My aim is always to help others, as it was in my previous career in nursing and midwifery; this gives me great satisfaction and fuels my passion for the counselling service I offer.
I am passionate and value listening to and validating your concerns. My core values are rooted in compassion, empathy, trust, and treating others with dignity and respect.
I hold a master's degree in relationship counselling and feel privileged to work with couples and families, a role that requires an open and trusting therapeutic relationship among all parties involved. Any relationship can be complex, and sometimes we need help from someone we are not familiar with. Whether this is individuals and their relationships or couples and families. I know how difficult it can be to attend counselling and admit that there are issues in a relationship or, indeed, individually that you need help with. Still, it can help you make changes and build a stronger relationship. We are all different and unique, and sometimes relationships get stuck in negative cycles. However, we can move towards positive changes with help in understanding these cycles, our emotional responses, and behaviours. It is a privilege for me to share this journey with you. There are many reasons couples and families attend counselling, a few of which are conflict, communication issues, infidelity, intimacy issues, and trust issues. Sometimes couples who say they are "stuck" will attend and need help to identify why. I can also help support couples who feel they cannot rebuild their relationship and need some help in the process of divorce or separation if this is your chosen path.
I believe that everyone can explore their inner resources with the help of a counsellor and achieve positive changes that relieve their concerns, improve their general well-being and/or their relationships, and increase future happiness.
I offer a safe, confidential, calm, and nonjudgmental space for you to share your concerns openly. I am a quiet, empathic, genuine, and warm individual, and my passion is to help you overcome any difficulties or concerns you may be experiencing.
