About me
Hello, I'm Karen. I'm a Clinical Psychologist with over 15 years experience of working in mental healthcare. I've worked with people experiencing a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties arising from life events, relationships, trauma and work‑related experiences.
I work from the perspective that emotional struggle is a natural, understandable response to adversity. Many people can reach a point where things feel unhelpful, confusing or hard to manage.
Therapy provides a space to slow things down, make sense of what's happening, and develop new ways of responding that feel more supportive and aligned with what matters most to you.
I offer a warm, compassionate, supportive space to help you explore your difficulties, build understanding, and develop confidence towards your therapy goals.
I can provide support in relation to a broad range of emotional and psychological difficulties. I have additional interest in working to support women’s mental health and wellbeing during mid-life and menopause.
Our work together would be collaborative, with an agreed approach to therapy which fits your needs, at your pace.
If it sounds like working together could be a good fit for you, please do get in touch to arrange an initial call.
