Donna Karpel

My name is Donna Karpel, I do know it can be really difficult to take that first step to start counselling but I am warm and approachable, and can offer a safe, non-judgmental space to help you unburden yourself, to talk freely and express difficult and painful emotions.

How I can help you:

 I can listen to you without judgement

 I can help you find a new perspective to look at the issues that  affect you

 I can help you find a voice to be heard

 I can offer you empathy

 I can help you find strength in challenging situations and help you  to deal with difficult people

 I can help you to learn to say 'no'

 I can build a strong, safe and trusting relationship with you

What I specialise in:

Anxiety,Depression,Loss and Bereavement,Relationship Issues,Trauma,Low self-esteem and confidence issues,Greater self-Awareness

What will the first session look like? The first session gives you the opportunity to see whether you feel at ease with me, and if you want to start to explore some of the issues that have brought you to counselling. Following this initial meeting we will work out the best counselling approach to help you move forward.

Availability:

I can offer daytime, evening and some weekend appointments.

My Practice:

I run a private practice from Bushey and Borehamwood. Please feel free to contact me on my mobile number, 07956401489 to discuss any aspects of counselling under no obligation at all. Please be assured that everything is dealt with in the strictest of confidence.

I trained as an Integrative Humanistic Counsellor, which means I bring together a range of different theories, and techniques, in order to better understand and respond to each client and their individual needs.I also work with the charity Grief Encounter for those who have been bereaved.
