Hello!

My name is Karen Yuen and I am an ACCPH accredited and BACP registered counsellor/therapist. I was born and grew up in London, within a rich diverse community. I have a mixed heritage (British East Asian) from Hong Kong, Vietnam and Myanmar, encompassing a perspective of different cultures and ways of seeing our inner and outer world. 

I have over 8 years of professional experience working within NHS direct, community and spiritual settings.

I have been trained in an integrative therapeutic approach, incorporating person centred, cognitive, psychodynamic, spiritual and transcultural approaches. This allows me to adapt to the needs of the client and their therapeutic journey. The foundation of my approach is through trauma informed, compassionate inquiry, intuition, genuineness, and empathy, to create an empathic, safe, and non-judgemental space. 

I have lived in different cultures and communities around the world: India, Hong Kong, Nepal, Portugal and France. I have learnt a lot from all and am grateful to have had these experiences and to have spent time with wise, insightful everyday humans, doing their best in embodying compassion, kindness, patience and unconditional love. I bring the theory, knowledge and counselling skills I've learnt from my studies and work as well as the insights and wisdom from all the people I've met and learnt from during my travels.

My qualifications are:

• BSc (Hons) Counselling and Therapeutic Studies; 2:1, Leeds Metropolitan University, 2005.
  
• PGCert Occupation (Daily Living Activities) and Wellbeing; Merit, Sheffield Hallam University, 2023.
  
• CPD Advanced Certificate Counselling Psychology.
  
• CPD Training in Recovery from Coercive, Cultic and Spiritual Abuse.
  
• CPD Compassionate Inquiry. 
  

What I can help you with:

I offer an opportunity to explore personal difficulties in a confidential, non-judgemental and supportive environment. Sometimes it's helpful to speak to someone outside your personal circle. I am here to listen and understand you, create a space for you to be seen, heard and process what is going on for you.

With compassion and curiosity we will explore how your childhood and relationship with family has influenced your current beliefs, perceptions, behaviours and thought patterns. You will be supported in becoming aware of these aspects, clearer understanding of them and unpacking the feelings that come up. Leading to insight into your situation, to challenge unhelpful perceptions, thought patterns and beliefs. This process can foster growth and lead to positive change in your life. 

My intention is to help you have a healthier relationship with your thoughts, feelings and emotions. This will help your relationship with yourself, others and different experiences and situations you encounter in your daily life. Ultimately, becoming and feeling more whole as a human being.

Online counselling can help with a wide range of issues, I can help you with:

• Anxiety
• Bereavement, Grief, Loss
• Depression
• Discrimination
• Low self-esteem
• Relationships (work, family, friends)
• Stress
• Trauma 

I offer a free initial phone session where you have an opportunity to ask questions, and see if you resonate with me and my approach and if we are a good fit. This lasts for about 15 minutes.

Ongoing sessions are £60 and last for 60 minutes.
