"I have worked with Karen for just over 6 months and have noticed a major improvement in my mental health following the passing of my mum. She has helped to create a safe space where I feel comfortable sharing my bereavement-related thoughts and feelings, as well as any day-to-day challenges I experience. I had previously tried therapy with a different and thought perhaps it wasn’t for me after all, but am so grateful that I gave it another shot with Karen."

"I was very hesitant about doing therapy but I took the courage and contacted Karen - and I haven't looked back since. With Karen's help and guidance its the first time I have ever been able to identify who I am and what I believe in - I found a piece of myself I never knew I had and Karen helped me do this! She is great to work with and makes you feel safe to allow you to open up, I am so lucky I found her to help me through such a difficult time."

Karen is amazingly responsive, listens well, and makes me feel safe. I have really grown through the classes with her in the past couple of months, so would like to leave her a steller review.
