Karen Dalrymple

I am currently available to take on new clients.

 I offer online/ telephone counselling and in person sessions can be arranged.

As my client, you would have a safe, trusting and non-judgemental space to share and explore your life story. Together we can work towards understanding any difficulties and bringing change and transformation for a happier life.

 How we relate to ourselves and others, affects how we think, feel and function. Looking at your past/present relationships and any behaviour patterns, we can identify their limiting effects.

 I believe in the power of a healthy therapeutic relationship and how this can bring strength, to help you find yourself again and ease distress. Giving yourself the time to explore your issues, can be a positive start. You can understand your past better, process your present day more effectively and set goals and strategies for a brighter future. We do this at your pace, when you are ready.

I worked with Relationships Scotland and have had many clients who thrived and made positive changes. I use an Integrative therapy approach, allowing me to apply a range of therapies, to ensure I meet the individual needs of each of my clients.

I have been working on a regular basis at Stirling University the past year,  supporting students with their mental health.

I offer 50 minute sessions online via zoom and can also provide  telephone sessions.Face to face sessions can be provided on request and subject to an additional cost of £10 to cover the room rental. At the moment in person sessions take place in Perth.

I recommend an inital telephone consultation and if we decide to go forward with our counselling sessions, a working agreement and assessment form is provided.

After you have made contact by email or telephone, I will offer you a free 20 minute consultation, usually by phone. This allows you to share why you would like to start counselling, what you would like to achieve from it and to discuss emotional issues that you are experiencing. This is a chance for you to learn what I can offer and if I can support you. Any questions you may have about about my counselling service can also be asked.
