I feel blessed to have met Karen, as she helped me through a very difficult time in my life. Karen’s own life experiences add to her skills as a therapist – I felt she understood what it’s like to really walk in my shoes and experience the intimate and very difficult challenges I was facing.

Karen has the unique ability to empower women when they are facing some of the toughest times in their life. She helped me frame my situation differently so I could see the real positives, not just the debilitating negatives I felt I was facing.

I would recommend Karen to anyone who needs support, insights and warmth, to help them through life’s challenges as a woman, mother or partner, or all three.

Karen knows how to switch a woman’s light on from within, so that she can find her way out of the darkness of abuse, coercive control, assault or any of the many demons we can all face within our lives.”

Karen has been a huge support to me. I’ve been struggling for over a decade and Karen has been the first counsellor I’ve seen who truly gets it, and has been able to help me reframe my thinking, set boundaries and help my darling kids. Karen does great stuff and I will always be grateful.”

I would not have coped this crazy year without the understanding, support and friendship we have found in the group. The validation and non-judgement make me stronger and I realise that I matter. Thank you.”
