Welcome to KT Counselling
A confidential space to explore the thoughts, feelings and challenges in your life
Hello and welcome to your first step towards hope and a better future. My name is Karen and I'm a therapeutic counsellor in South Devon.
Counselling and therapy in a safe, comfortable and private setting
After a life-changing stroke, I embarked on a journey of self-discovery, finding strength in vulnerability and purpose through counselling to process trauma and adjust to disability. I deeply valued being gently held, truly heard, and understood. It would be my privilege to offer the same support to you and be part of your journey.
As a qualified counsellor, I now work with people from all walks of life and backgrounds, coming to me with a diverse range of challenges. I have enhanced experience working with life-changing illnesses and injuries, including disability, bereavement, depression, anxiety and relationship issues. I also volunteer for Cruse Bereavement Service and Disability Support Torbay.
In the privacy of my cosy counselling room, I will be there to support you throughout your counselling journey.
Take the First Step
If you`d like to explore how counselling could help you, please email or call and leave a message, to arrange a free 15-minute callback. This is an opportunity to discuss what you hope to gain from counselling, what your expectations are, and for me to answer any questions you may have.
As an integrative counsellor, I blend Psychodynamic, Humanistic, Person-Centred, and Transpersonal approaches to tailor our work to you.
Together, we can deepen your self-awareness, help you navigate internal conflicts, and foster personal growth with the opportunity for choice and change. Counselling can help ease the dark clouds of depression, trauma, and bereavement while providing new coping strategies for anxiety, relationship challenges, and everyday stress.
As a registered counsellor, I am an accredited registrant of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) and adhere to their Ethical Framework.
Speak in confidence
My accessible room in my home provides a safe and non-judgmental space for you to explore and gain a deeper understanding of your thoughts, experiences and life challenges. I work face to face, but also on zoom and telephone for people based across Devon and the UK.
How I work
I specialise in helping people navigate the emotional impact of disability, including life changing accidents and illnesses, as well as bereavement and traumatic loss.
My approach is tailored to your unique needs- whether that means incorporating creative methods, psychoeducation or simply providing a safe pace to explore your thoughts and concerns.
I will work alongside you, guiding you to explore what is going on for you, helping you to heal.
Working together
No matter what you bring, I offer a supportive, empathic, and non-judgemental environment where you will be truly heard and valued. Together, we will work towards understanding, healing and personal growth.
I can help you gain greater insight into the difficulties you are facing, help you understand why you act or react to them the way you do, and see how you can start to make better, heathier choices moving forward.

"Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You have helped me learn so much about myself and I have a much clearer vision of who I want to be."
"I felt so relaxed with you. Your caring empathic nature allowed me to open up about stuff I had never spoken to anyone else about. I wish I'd met you years ago!"
"I was lucky enough to be able to get an appointment with Karen when I had reached the lowest point possible in my life . To say I was sceptical would be an understatement. Within a few moments of meeting Karen I was put at ease and a 12 month weekly journey commenced. Due to Karen's experience and calming demeanor we explored all of the issues I had locked away and the ones I fought every day. We covered child bereavement, loss of career due to disability, break up of a marriage, and Depression, plus childhood issues within a traumatic childhood . With the tool Karen gave me with her advice and guidance I have managed to rebuild me and my life . I cannot recommend , Kt Counselling enough in a short review as there are not enough words to summarise the help I received to do Karen justice ."
