Karen Fisher

I am flexible in what hours I work and will try to work around the client .I will take some time off over the summer and during Easter Break and the the Christmas holidays.

Life is stressful and coping with it can feel overwhelming.  I am here to help you find clarity and calm by tailoring dialogue sessions to address your unique and specific needs in a safe and trusted environment. I work in a  warm and empathic way.

I am licensed in the UK with 10 years of professional work experience in the field of mental health. I am passionate about helping clients with  their  relationships and the things that affect them, anxiety, coping with grief, panic, co-dependency, recovering from controlling relationships, generalised anxiety disorder (GAD), depression, motivation, self-esteem and low-self worth. I work with couples  ,individuals, families and young people.

I use a variety of therapeutic techniques which include, psychodynamic ,systemic, CBT. I  can use other relevant interventions that may be helpful to you and your loved ones.

I hold a particular interest in the effects of co-dependency - controlling relationships  ad domestic abuse on individuals and relationships. Depression, Anxiety (GAD), panic, Low self-esteem.

Do you have relationships where you tend to feel overly responsible for the other person? Do you notice you make excuses for them and are self-critical and want things to be perfect? Does fixing others make you feel needed? Do you go out of your way to please others even when it means neglecting your own needs and wants?   .I can work with you to feel secure in yourself and in your relationships.

I run a small practice enabling me to focus on who the work I do with clients ,this enables me to be fully present with you in our sessions. I am flexible in what hours I am able to offer both online and face to face.

I have experience working at Relate  for a number of years and other professional  supporting roles. This has provided  me the experience of how to support  and connect with people from all areas of society . I am able to provide you with an outline of what to expect and how I am able to support you right at the beginning so feel comfortable with what might lay ahead. 

I offer a 30 mins confidential  free session for us to see if we are the right fit. There will be no pressure to continue if you feel i am not the right counsellor for or you decide it is not the right time. I can currently work on zoom and you can explore a little to see what what it might feel like to work online with me. If you decide to continue i will provide you with a contract and other relevant information you might need to help you feel safe and secure.
