Karen Weston

I am available for in person and online sessions.  I currently have some availability on Mondays and Fridays and limited availability on weekends.

I am based less than 2mins walk from Herne Hill Station, which is on the Sutton-St Alban's Thameslink line and Victoria-Orpington Southeastern line.  Also within 2mins walk are bus stops for routes 3, 37, 46, 196, 201, 322, and 468.  Both Brixton and North Dulwich stations are a 10-15mins walk. 

Feeling alone and isolated in your thoughts and feelings? I offer compassionate counselling that is tailored to your needs, supporting you through your unique life journey with understanding and care. Life experiences and changes, whether choiceful or enforced upon us, can profoundly impact us when left unprocessed. I take a creative approach, encouraging clients to explore their past and present-day experiences and relationships with curiosity, not judgement. I will support you as your journey towards empowerment and meaningful change.

With me, clients explore their unique experiences of common mental health issues and life experiences, such as depression, anxiety, grief, (peri-)menopause, childlessness by circumstance, not choice, carer fatigue, career change, stress and relationship issues, whether romantic, familial or friendships, together with the underlying trauma that may be held in the body

I know from personal experiences that getting to your first counselling session is not easy. It takes courage to be vulnerable with those we know, let alone a stranger. I am here for you as you take that first tentative step, whether we just take this one step together or embark on a longer therapeutic journey together

I offer both long-term and short-term work. My fees are £60 per session. I offer weekly therapy for new clients as through experience, I do not believe fortnightly to be as effective in it's support. ​If we agree to work together, I will offer you the same time slot each week.

​I offer a free 15min curiosity call to give you the opportunity to ask questions about my approach to therapy and to understand pricing, terms and conditions, I also offer a 40mins paid for compatibility session, a one-off session where we discuss the reasons you are seeking therapy and for us both to assess if we are a good fit. I consider this compatibility assessment a crucial first step for us both, therefore offer a reduced rate.

Our first session will be a bit of a fact-finding discussion to help me understand what you needs and expectations of therapy are and for you to understand how I work so we can mutually assess if we are the right therapeutic combination.  I am passionate in supporting you to get the correct support and if that isn't me, that's OK and hopefully I can help direct you elsewhere.
