Karen Harrison

I am a Counsellor and Mentor with over 20 years experience providing counselling support in a caring, reliable and professional way. I use a range of techniques tailored to each individual client, including Person-centred Art Therapy using art, painting, drawing and collage as a medium of expression.

I currently work part-time as a School Counsellor and Specialist Mental Health Mentor supporting mature adults in higher education. In addition to my private practice; In Balance Counselling, I also have experience working with survivors of rape and child sexual abuse and over 15 years experience as an Eating Disorder Counsellor using food diaries and Integrative Counselling. 

I also run Artbeat Therapy offering art therapy to individuals and also group workshops and staff wellbeing events. Art therapy is also particularly effective when working with attachment disorder and trauma in childhood, and also with care experienced children, adopted persons, homeless, refuguees and veterens. I also offer Drawing and Talking Therapy for younger children.

I have flexible appointment times and offer counselling support and mentor support through face-to-face sessions, Skype, telephone and email.
