Karen Hulme

Counselling is a caring, professional and non-judgemental relationship. As a counsellor I offer a safe, confidential space to talk about whatever is causing you distress and uncertainty. I will help and support you as you explore your experiences, difficulties, doubts, losses and emotional pain.

I believe the important question is not what is wrong with you, or what happened to you but what is happening inside you now as a result of what happened to you. 

I am an Internal Family Systems (IFS) trained therapist and can offer this as a way of working. IFS sees the individual as comprised of a core self and many separate parts with different roles, behaviours and beliefs. If you have ever been confused about why you do the things you do, this is an approach that will help you to understand yourself better. It is a non-pathologising, compassionate way of working with the distress and conflicts both internal and in your relationships.

 I understand that acknowledging that you need help and considering counselling can be difficult, taking that first step involves courage and commitment. I believe finding the right counsellor is important. Someone you feel you can talk to and trust, who will listen and help you understand yourself, your behaviour and relationships more clearly.

I offer an initial telephone conversation, usually around 20 minutes, free of charge.

If you would like to talk and find out more please feel free to contact me.
