About Karen
With experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, addictions, career difficulties, grief and loss, depression and broader life changes, she works to identify strengths and practical strategies that reduce the influence of problems. Her practice also attends to communication difficulties, questions of life purpose, women's issues and workplace concerns.
Karen aims to create an open, non-judgmental environment where thoughts and feelings can be explored and new perspectives developed. She collaborates with clients to highlight existing competencies and to build pathways toward meaningful change, helping clients to identify and apply the resources they already possess.
Narrative approaches and online counselling
Narrative Therapy focuses on separating problems from people by helping clients re-author the stories that shape their lives. This approach highlights personal values, competencies and commitments so individuals can reduce the influence of difficulties like anxiety, depression, addictions and career stress.
In addition to Narrative Therapy, Karen draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to identify practical strategies and coping skills tailored to each person's needs. These approaches aim to translate insight into actionable steps for managing symptoms and improving day-to-day functioning.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Karen works with clients to explore what fits best for their goals, preferences and life circumstances, adjusting methods as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule regular sessions around work, family and other commitments, and they allow for continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult. For many people, the convenience and accessibility of online therapy support consistent engagement and steady progress.
