How her approaches guide online work

Karen uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness therapy to help people change unhelpful thoughts and build new habits. CBT looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers practical steps to test different ways of thinking. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple practices to notice stress and calm the mind, which can help with anxiety, sleep, and mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with each person about their goals, what has helped before, and what feels comfortable. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

The biography does not specify which session formats she offers, so confirm available options before booking.
