“Karen is flexible in her approach and comes from a position of total nonjudgment. She is diligent and pays close attention to detail while you are speaking to pick up on subtle things that have a profound impact.

I arrived to Karen as a total skeptic and leave as an advocate. Having a psychology degree and having worked in the counselling field, it takes a lot to impress me. She was able to get results from the first session and only 6 intensive sessions before I was happy with the progress and wanted to slow the pace to adjust. Having visited 4 other psychologists in my time to assist with grief and trauma, this has by far had the most impact.

But she was born to do it – she has absolutely changed the trajectory of my life for the better. I am happier, more aware (and therefore making better decisions) and I feel I am better equipped to deal with whatever life throws at me.

Eternally grateful to Karen for what she has done for me.”

“After 20 years of seeing counsellors, I have rarely come across a therapist who specialises in such a powerful tool like gestalt. I’ve been seeing Karen for a few months & the results are incredible. I’m experiencing an integration of myself at significant ages with who I am now. That feels very liberating & has created more space emotionally to be able to make healthy choices.

As a trauma survivor, gestalt is a highly effective method for creating new brain pathways that are less about reacting from fear & more from calm choosing. Karen is kind & feels things ‘with’ me, which makes it a lot easier to be vulnerable. I highly recommend her as a compassionate counsellor.”

“Recently our teenage son experienced a sudden onset of mental health with panic attacks and anxiety. Our son was driven by fear and thoughts of suicide. A safe place to talk was needed, then we found Karen. After 6 weeks of therapy we have our son feeling more himself and actively  using the coping strategies that Karen provided. For the first time this year our son is starting to feel safe again. Karen has been a significant part of his recovery.”

“Open your thoughts and feelings to Karen and you will reap bountiful rewards of the mind, body, and spirit. While I had some experience with Gestalt going into my therapeutic relationship with Karen, I was surprised by the intense emotional journey that has been my last 6 months. I have experienced accelerated growth/healing as compared to struggling along alone. I found the ethereal nature of the work to be the missing link in my comprehension of my very human condition.

I love that my results from these sessions were in direct proportion to my efforts in venerability and honesty. I felt powerful in my sessions, I was doing this! Karen is very good at placing the kudos for the results where they belong, with the client.

In my opinion, a very valuable addition to your regimen of self-love and care. This is some deep therapy. I feel fortunate indeed to have had the opportunity to do this work with Karen.”

“Karen finding me was an absolute blessing. I used to go to therapy and was prescribed Zoloft to help with my anxiety but deep down I always knew that I could manage my anxiety without medication just never was given the tools as to how.  Karen changed all of that.  Gestalt therapy helps me manage my anxiety, has taught me what my needs are, and how to heal.  I went from visiting once a week to fortnightly to now once a month.  

This is the type of therapy you learn and heal from.  It has been absolutely life-changing for me and I am so thankful to Karen.  People around me like my husband have even noticed a huge difference and are super proud of where I’ve come from to who I am now.  It’s been an absolute learning experience and I can’t wait to continue to incorporate my therapy into everyday life and I can happily say that I can be me without having the brain fog of anxiety medication.  I’m finally becoming whole.”

“When I started to work with Karen I had lost trust in most therapeutic ways. I was working hard at my recovery but I was doing it all alone. Karen is the first person who has held a warm, safe space for me and my experiences. She is compassionate and gentle throughout the process. In the last two months I have been through an amazing inner transformation. I really feel I have found an ally. I am very grateful.”

“Seems weird if you have to explain it, but it works! After our first session, the only word I can use is empowered. For the first time, I feel empowered.”

“Every session I’ve had with Karen I’ve walked away feeling lighter. I have found her easy to trust, non-judgemental, and grounded. Karen has a unique skill set which has given me results, unlike any other therapist. I highly recommend her for anybody who is ready to do the work.”
