Hi I’m Karen
I qualified as Cognitive Behavioural Therapist in 2010 and I am currently a registered member of the BACP.
My experience is varied and across many different settings. I have experience of working with clients presenting with different issues ranging from anxiety, loss and bereavement, addiction, depression, children and young people, neurodiversity, family and relationship issues, work related issues, trauma, PTSD, neglect, suicidal ideation, stress related issues and many more.
I work in an integrated way always client led, using various skills, techniques and modalities depending on the client need. I have worked with clients from ages 5 to adults with a multitude of presenting issues. I will bring my creativity into the sessions if I feel the client will work well and benefit from this.
I like to empower my clients to become self-aware and understand their thoughts and feeling and triggers in life. Setting goals to bring positive changes and aiming to become the best version of themselves.
Life can feel difficult and overwhelming at times, and I meet my clients in a non-judgmental, open-minded and accepting way and we work together finding an approach that will work best.
No one is perfect and we all make mistakes, face issues and obstacles in life with uncertainty. With my experience, I truly believe I can help people to accept and understand the struggles they face, enabling them to move forward in a positive way.
I look forward to working with you.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Karen is lovely, welcoming & warm. She is wonderful at talking things through & offering different points of view where needed. Karen understands what it is like to live with neurodiversity & is accommodating throughout sessions. I greatly appreciate the work I do with Karen & highly recommend her.
Karen is supportive, a great listener and is ready to help my healing process with multiple ideas
She listens with compassion and I have grown fond of her. She is a friend in disguise. I am grateful for this opportunity to grow to be a better version of myself. Thanks, Karen.
Karen has been great, even through chat and conversations, has been very understanding of my situation and always wanting to help.
