Karen has volunteered at Samaritans supporting callers experiencing suicide feelings, distress and loneliness as well as Place2Be children's school counselling service finding both hugely rewarding and insightful.

​

Karen initially trained as a hairstylist and worked in an office but felt her calling to mental health while on her own recovery journey. She has experience in Hypnotherapy, Therapeutic Counselling, Counselling Children & Young People using Play and Creative techniques, The Rewind Technique trauma and PTSD and The MAP Method. Karen is also qualified to Reiki Level 2 and Crystal Reiki Master.

​

Since 2013 Karen has been working with adults, young people, and children, nothing gives her more pleasure than facilitating their healing journey and guiding their emotional growth.

Karen always looks to find the best techniques for her clients and found some of her clients not making as much progress as others; that was until she discovered the MAP Method and became a practitioner. Soon after applying the MAP Method in her practice, she noticed her clients benefited greatly and began recovering from stress, anxiety, trauma, and other emotional issues quicker and easier and she would like to offer the same for you.
