About me
My name is Karen and I am a person centred therapist now working from home two days a week. I have a lot of experience helping Adults and Adolescents. I am a humanistic therapist in that I believe we all have inside of us the understanding to reach our potential and with the help of someone else listening we can reach that potential and really learn more about ourselves and our needs.
I have experience with Anxiety, trauma and bereavement but issues you bring to me I will work with you at our initial assessment to see if you feel I am the right person for you. My office is in my house and there is a few stairs or if needed I have a quiet room downstairs with privacy. I will charge 45 pounds for 60 minutes 0r 35 pounds for concessions.
I am also able to offer a free 30 mins taster session so you can meet me and see if we might work together. Meeting a new therapist is daunting and I would want you to have the right person. There is no obligation to start after taster but I can answer any questions. Before we meet at my home I would ask that we can chat on the phone first so you hear my voice and I can hear yours. If you prefer email only again I understand and am happy to communicate initially by email if you prefer.

Member organisations

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
