Written on Jan 03, 2025 after therapy with Karen for 10 months on issues concerning relationship issues, and trauma and abuse

Karen is a wonderful therapist, who understands my issues and helps me by pointing in the right direction. She is respectful and supportive.

Written on Sep 07, 2024 after therapy with Karen for 1 year and 7 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, sleeping disorders, parenting issues, anger management, compassion fatigue, and adhd

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.

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.
