Karen Wilson

I work between Tuesday, Thursday every week.

I work in Banbury on a Tuesday from the Banbury therapy centre, and from the Ashcroft therapy centre in Deddington on a Thursday evening.

I also offer online sessions if preferred.

I offer a warm, safe and empathic space where you are able to talk in full confidence about what is happening for you.

My commitment as a therapist is to empower you to explore problems, feelings and emotions and find a way forward.

I do understand that it can be difficult to start therapy and to manage the emotional impact this journey can have on us and our daily lives as we make progress.

My aim is to build a relationship with you based on trust, empathy and attentive listening to support you in bringing about positive change.

As an experienced integrative counsellor I am able to draw upon a variety of approaches to help you as we work. I work mainly with

.Couples

I have an advanced certificate and two years experience working with couples experiencing relationship issues including

intimacy problems around sexual needs, difficulty and getting over an affair.

I also work with clients one to one who are having relationship issues, which includes:

Love affairs.

Getting over relationship breakups.

Trauma Bonding. (Being in a relationship that's not meeting your needs, a partner who is displaying Narcissist controlling behaviour towards you, but you can't break the bond)

Grief and bereavement.

I have a Diploma of Distinction in this field and have worked with many clients who have lost their loved ones, through illness, including Covid, sudden death. Suicide and homicide.

I also work with clients who have problems with Anxiety and depression.

I offer an open ended and short term counselling in Oxfordshire at the Banbury Therapy centre offering flexible hours on Tuesday.

I also work at the Ashcroft therapy centre in Deddington on Thursday afternoon/evening.

I also work online.

I work from the Banbury therapy centre which is in the centre of Banbury and offer sessions my hours tend to be flexible between afternoon and evening. The rooms are warm and with comfortable sofas and chairs. Not suitable for wheelchair users, there is a small flight of stairs.

On Thursdays I work from 3pm to 8pm in Deddington at the Ashcroft Therapy centre in Hudson street just off of the market square. This also as a flight of stairs.

Its a welcoming space, bright comfortable rooms.

I am committed to providing counselling that is tailored to the needs of my clients.

I have a warm approachable personality and its important to me that we build a relationship based on Trust, Honesty and openness.

I understand and feel privileged when my clients share their deepest thoughts, feeling and problems with me I know just how difficult that can be. 

Just being heard can make such a difference to how we feel, talking through and exploring problems that are making life so difficult for us, gaining an understanding on how we can help ourselves move forward can be so empowering.

It is okay not to be okay getting help is one of the bravest things you can do, it may makes you feel vulnerable and weak, asking for help is not weak it is a strength.

On our first session I will carry out an assessment which will help me understand  what you need and expect from counselling. We will get to know each other and see if you feel you can work with me.

As an experienced integrative counsellor, I can draw upon a variety of approaches to help you while we work together.

During our first session we will explore which approach suits your individual needs.

I do understand that it can be difficult to start therapy and to manage the emotional impact this journey can have on us and our daily life's as we make progress.

Therefore my aim to work at your pace and help support you to feel safe to explore the issues that have brought you to counselling.

We will also talk through the contract and agree the day and time you would like to see me.
