''I find it has helped by allowing me to take the time to examine my past and recognise patterns that have shaped my decisions and the way that I deal with situations. I found face to face beneficial because I was away from my home environment, which meant I had no distractions and I felt totally secure to express myself freely. I found Karen easy to talk to and found it useful when she asked me challenging questions.'

My sessions with Karen have been incredibly impactful. She’s helped me unpick and understand the experiences that have shaped who I am today—always in a positive, reassuring way. Moving forward no longer feels so daunting now that I have both a deeper understanding of myself and practical strategies to support me.

From the beginning, you created a safe, empathetic, and non-judgmental environment where I felt truly heard and understood. You helped me process painful experiences at a pace that felt manageable, while gently encouraging me to build confidence and resilience. Your professional knowledge was clear, but just as important was your kindness and patience, which made it possible for me to open up and trust the process. Your support helped me reconnect with my memories and sense of self, and it has had a profound and lasting effect on my life. I have experienced meaningful improvements in my wellbeing, my relationships, and my ability to navigate daily challenges. I am deeply grateful for your dedication and care, and I would highly recommend your services to anyone in need of thoughtful, trauma-informed support. You have made a significant difference to my recovery and quality of life.
