Karen Stockwell

I have appointments available during the weekdays/weekends and some evenings, please ask.

People turn to therapy for many different reasons and find that it can help with things such as

* Reducing anxiety and stress

* Creating better personal and work life relationships.

* Improving self esteem and confidence

* Improving mood and increasing resilience

My therapy style is warm and interactive, and I believe it is important to treat everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion while offering a space free from judgment. My approach offers a combination of Cognitive behavioural and humanistic therapy while tailoring sessions to meet your needs.  

I have many years experience working with clients with various presenting difficulties including depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, stress, ASD, and bereavement.  Currently, I am also a lecturer of counselling at a local college. 

It takes courage to reach out for counselling and it is the first step toward change.  

I also offer EMDR (eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing) therapy which is recognised as a treatment for trauma. And i offer Clinical supervision. 

You may be seeking counselling for a long term difficulty or a sudden and unexpected challenge you are faced with.  Counselling is about having a safe space to explore what you choose to bring that is met with warmth, acceptance, empathy and no judgement. 

I have significant experience providing therapy in private practice as well as within agency settings. 

I am also a lecturer in Counselling and a Clinical supervisor. I recognise that the most valuable learning happens when we feel heard and valued.  This is reflected in my therapeutic work. 

I offer a free 20 minute phone consultation.  In this time we can explore your needs and expectations for the work together and you will have space to ask any questions.
