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.
After a major life changing event, I embarked on a journey of self-discovery, finding strength in vulnerability and purpose in life through my own counselling journey. I experienced the deep benefit of feeling truly seen, heard and understood. This is something I seek to offer to you, and it would be my privilege to be a 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.
Please email or call and leave a message, if you would like a free 15-minute call back, where we can discuss what you would like to gain from counselling, what your expectations are and I can answer any questions you may have.
As an integrative counsellor I draw on the teachings of Psychodynamic, Humanistic, Person Centered and Transpersonal schools of thought to tailor the work to you.
Together we can work to increase your awareness of your various experiences to find new ways for you to relate to internal conflict, enabling you to gain a deeper connection to who you are. With the increased awareness developed through our work together, comes the opportunity for more choice and the possibility for change and personal growth. This is something I seek to offer to you and it would be my privilege to be a part of your journey.
People come to me for help a wide range of issues. Here are a few of the more common difficulties that can be supported through counselling:

I offer a free 15-minute callback, where we can discuss what you would like to gain from counselling, what your expectations are, and you can ask me any questions you may have. Then, if you feel I could be the right therapist for you, I will be happy to arrange our initial session.

Bank details will be provided ahead of your initial consultation.
I have availability on Thursday mornings and Thursday afternoons.

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about how counselling works, or to arrange an initial assessment appointment. This enables us to discuss the reasons you are thinking of coming to counselling, whether it could be helpful for you and whether I am the right therapist to help.
