Anxious or wary-I know that making the decision to seek therapy feels very daunting it can be fearful and you have to feel ready - let’s start now .....

Hello my name is KAREN -its good to talk and I am an experienced counsellor ready to listen - we all require our own time and space to talk about our anxiety and stresses however great or small we deem these to be. Has life become unmanageable? Have you no idea why you feel like this !!! Do you feel hopelessly lost? Are you feeling totally dissociated from yourself? How can you change this?  Lost all tolerance - angry and short fused -

It may seem scary contacting a therapist but you have taken the first step, give me a call - or if this feels too much - send me a CONFIDENTIAL email, sometimes it feels easier to write down our worries.

Are you stuck in a loop of anxiety and depression or feeling loss and grief and cant seem to move forward? We can sit together and gently untangle these emotions. Has your work/life balance become unmanageable - lets look at this. Destructive relationships - new relationships - ending relationships all place emotional pressures on us - can’t move on? Angry!

I also work within senior schools - years 7-11 and post 16 - with emotional problems increasing steeply in early teen years surrounding academic pressure and objectification and worries amplified by social media.   Eating disorders or self harm having a great impact on young adults - both male and female.

Couple relationship issues, grief, anxiety and depression - when life becomes emotionally overwhelming, work, stress, exhaustion and depression can be explored in a safe, one to one, non judgemental environment, talking about these feelings may help.


Many people in the UK have consulted a Counsellor or psychotherapist amid the growing awareness of the need to take care of our emotional health. There is recognition of the need to bring insight into peoples lives and lifestyle situations, empowering the individual to develop their personality and achieve their full potential.

A short ten minute free assessment is offered free of charge at the beginning of your journey into therapy to establish your ease and comfort with myself as the therapist.
