After 4 weeks with Karen, I can say she has been great for me. She is direct which I prefer, but also understanding and has been able to shed so much light on different things. Some things I was not even aware of!

I am licensed in the UK with thousands of client hours. I have experience in helping individuals and couples with a wide variety of presenting issues. As an integrative counsellor, I am able to draw from a number of models and interventions to form a treatment plan tailored to each client. My highest value is to develop a safe space where each client can explore areas of difficulty in confidence and without judgment. It takes courage to seek out a stranger, take steps toward change and commit to this counselling process. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

I find Karen easy to talk to and able to engage with issues promptly and provides good advice
After my first session with Kanre, I knew we would have a great working relationship. Her presence is calming and supportive. She creates a nurturing environment to express your most honest and authentic self - no matter how vulnerable you feel. I am so thankful I got paired with her as my therapist. She is genuine and honest and shares an enlightening perspective about whatever you may be facing. I cannot recommend her enough.
Karen, is able to ask questions which enables me to dig deep into how I feel and express myself in an open way.
Karen is a sympathetic and empathetic therapist who is easy to talk too and you feel as thought she understands the issue. I have found her supportive and helpful to my concerns. Would recommend.
