Following your initial assessment, and upon hearing your presenting issue, Karen will work on a treatment plan which she and you can look at together. Working collaboratively on conditions such as anxiety disorders, depression/low mood, stress, and trauma related difficulties, Karen can help to provide useful tools and techniques that will help you progress and heal. Karen aims to provide a safe and confidential space to work through issues and will use other evidenced based therapeutic approaches to suit individual needs, such as compassion focused therapy and mindfulness.
There will be work for you to do by yourself throughout each week and together Karen and you can review your progress.
