This background can add value when working with individuals who have had a challenging time at work, or who are navigating difficult work transitions and therefore are struggling or distressed. Having worked as a registered psychologist in private practice since 2010, Karen has expertise in counselling and clinical interventions for individuals from adolescents to all stages of adult life. In addition, she has a depth of experience in the workplace impacts on mental health, resolution of interpersonal conflict, and corporate training and development on topics related to well-being and interpersonal communication.
Having made empathy in therapy the focus of a Master’s Thesis, Karen knows the importance of bringing unconditional compassion and understanding to the therapeutic relationship. She offers a warm, gentle and encouraging approach to building rapport from the first impression, and people find this makes it easy to tell their story and establish a collaborative relationship.
