    About Karen

    Hello, my name is Karen, I began my career supporting individuals before moving into private practice, where I now work with both couples and individuals. Over the years, I have seen how important it is for both partners in a relationship to feel heard, understood, and validated.

    In my sessions, I work with couples to better understand themselves and their communication patterns. We explore what is said, what is meant, and how messages may be received differently. This helps to uncover miscommunication, reduce conflict, and build a deeper understanding between partners.

    It is always a privilege to be trusted with people’s stories and relationships. I find great satisfaction in helping couples address difficulties and move forward in whichever way they choose, whether that means rebuilding the relationship or separating more amicably.

    Background & Experience

    I was originally a qualified nurse, moving into the business world of pharmaceuticals up to the level of Strategic Management. I then decided to refocus my passion to work with people and trained as a counsellor. I trained first as a Person Centred Counsellor and then as a Transactional Analysis Counsellor. These modalities work well together and I have been practicing them for couples and individuals benefits for 6 years.

    How I Can Help

    I'll provide a warm, impartial space where you can both articulate your feelings and experiences without judgement, fostering open and honest dialogue.

    We will work together to define your therapeutic goals, ensuring clarity and a shared vision for positive change and a more fulfilling relationship.

    I'll ensure you both feel genuinely heard, validated, and actively supported as we navigate your challenges, building a foundation of mutual respect.

    We'll explore how differing communication styles and interpretations impact your connection, impact your behaviours and we'll develop more effective ways to express needs and understand each other.

    I'll guide you in reducing relationship hurt, anger, and resentment, helping you cultivate deeper understanding and healthier patterns of interaction for lasting growth.
