About Karen
The Counsellor
Hello! My name is Karen, I am a Registered Counsellor in Camden accredited with the Australian Counselling Association (ACA). I support individuals, children, teens, and highly sensitive people with anxiety, grief, stress, and confidence. Also supporting parents navigating conception, pre and post natal stages.
My approach to counselling incorporates a person centred practice with a tailored and integrated style.
I have a focus on supporting people through challenge and change, grief and loss, and anxiety and stress in all areas and times in our lives. Also with a focus for supporting parents navigating the perinatal period in their lives, and children or teenagers with emotional intelligence and confidence building. I also support Highly Sensitive People (HSP’s) to better understand themselves and find strategies to move forward in a positive way.
My personal life experiences have led me to embrace resilience and develop a growth mindset, allowing me to view challenges positively, seeing them as opportunities for learning and shared experience.
I believe in the advantage of early intervention to support people in general, so they can better understand themselves, their thoughts and behaviours with the aim to prevent the development of more clinical mental health conditions. I advocate for the little everyday things we can do to live a full and happy life with mental fitness and flexibility. I am passionate about helping children and young people learn valuable life skills and strategies in how to care for their mental health.
While focused on private practice, I am also currently employed part-time by Lifeline Australia, working on the front line providing Crisis Support and Suicide Prevention to those in their darkest hour which I find very rewarding.
I am available either face to face or via Telehealth (online video call). Currently seeing individuals only, with a goal to support couples and families from 2026 onward.
I pour my heart and soul into my career which brings me immense happiness and is very fulfilling for me. I truly feel honoured to be a part of others lives and be able to walk beside them for a short while. It is a privilege I am very grateful for.
