Karen’s approach is rooted in human connection. Her career has focused on helping people navigate transformation—whether through one-to-one therapy, group training, or mentoring professionals in the field. She is committed to ethical, reflective, and person-centred work and brings both warmth and professionalism to every session.
Her qualifications span psychology, counselling, teaching, and clinical supervision. These areas of study support her holistic and multi-faceted approach to helping people grow and thrive.

General mental well-being
She specialises in Motivational Interviewing, a collaborative counselling method that helps clients resolve ambivalence and tap into their inner motivation. This approach is particularly helpful for those navigating complex emotions or entrenched behaviours.
Karen also provides clinical supervision for professionals working in education, health, and social care. Her supervision is reflective, skill-enhancing, and supportive—ideal for counsellors, teachers, and pastoral staff who need a safe space to examine their work and improve their practice.
She currently offers supervision within her private practice and also supports school staff in Cardiff, providing a valuable layer of professional insight and emotional support.
