About me
I'm Karen McCann, a qualified integrative counsellor and psychotherapist, registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
Supporting you
Safety, respect and confidentiality are core values I hold. The goal is to help you grow from your struggles, understand yourself, your past and your relationships better, heal from your pain, and move forward to where you want to be in your life.
Depression, fear and anxiety are some of the most common and uncomfortable emotions that we can experience at some point in our lives. Through counselling and psychotherapy, we are able to work together to help you discover who you are, why you respond or behave the way you do, find motivation, perspective, and calm. Together we can make sense of your life and find better ways of being.
Mind and body
Many individuals can experience physical symptoms associated with painful, uncomfortable and traumatic circumstances. Through a safe partnership, we can understand and help you process the internal and external pain, anxiety, addiction or relationship issues you're experiencing.
Online, telephone or in-person services
One-to-one sessions are available online or in person, lasting for 60 minutes. Be in the comfort of your own space, or visit me in Ipswich (IP2) whilst we explore your thoughts and feelings, past and future. Get in touch to find a time that suits your schedule.
Why Karmc therapy?
Pronounced: karmic (car-mik).
A karmic cycle is a repetitious pattern of events, emotions or realisations that occur in your life. Here is the opportunity to master a life lesson, and until that lesson is mastered, we will continue to repeat the cycle. Are you ready to break the cycle?

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred).
Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision.
Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training.
All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.

Further information
If you know a little bit about counselling and psychotherapy, I work in an integrative way. This means I have skills in person-centred, psychodynamic, CBT and other forms, and utilise them all to build a collaborative, personalised therapeutic experience for each individual client.
