Karen has been the biggest blessing. She is kind and empathetic but not just a cheerleader. She questions your views and asks deep questions to help you reflect on what’s really going on. I’m so glad I was referred to her by a friend. She also responds in a timely manner to messages. This is very helpful as I’m going through some heavy things which affect me all week…not just on my therapy day.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Lovely therapist. Would definitely recommend
I am only a few sessions in with Karen and she has already made a very positive impact on my well being. Her expertise and experience has helped me organise my thoughts and process the difficulties I’m experiencing at the moment and from my past.
She is very helpful and understanding of my issues and offers her expertise and opinion about a situation in a very considerate way. she has a very motherly touch and makes it very easy to open up and conversate with and gives very good Feedback and advice. Would recommend to everybody!!!!
Karen is a super valid therapist above all in helping you standing up for yourself in the most appropriate manner.
I can highly recommend Karen, she’s so compassionate and competent and has a fab sense of humour and is always there in time of need. Couldn’t think of a better therapist!
Karen has been a great listener and over time given me lots of realisations of why I do specific things. We had lots of chats about coping mechanisms and working on mitigating various things. It has been great
Karen has been an incredible therapist for me over the months! She listens without judgement and has an exceptional way of understanding how I am feeling. Karen has a knack For helping put into words how I am feeling and going thru.

I have not had many sessions yet but so far I am very happy I was paired with Karen. Karen has been very understanding and listened a lot and given me lots to think about that I probably wouldn’t have. Thank you
