Karen Hurworth

I have availability in my practice at this moment.  I offer sessions online.

I am passionate about supporting adults, adolescents, and children to live fuller and more meaningful lives. Instead of avoiding challenging experiences and emotions, I aim to help you use them as a launchpad for growth and wellness.  Using an integrative approach, I draw upon evidence based modalities such as Acceptance Commitment therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Solution Focussed Therapy.

My approach to counselling is 

*Collaborative

*Goal oriented-  you set your goals and I will help you reach them

*Action based

*Integrative

*Person-centered

*Designed to meet each client's individual needs

During the sessions I will do one or more of the following:

*listen to your concerns and allow you to express your feelings

*help you to identify your strengths and resources

*help you to identify the thoughts, feelings, behaviors, or circumstances that are interfering with you meeting your goals

*help you to set goals and develop concrete action plans for managing or overcoming the obstacles to your well-being

*use a specific intervention that is appropriate to your goals

*provide relevant information, verbally, or in handout form

*conduct formal and informal assessments to measure your progress and enhance motivation

*suggest some reading or writing assignment to help you gain insight into your concern

*give a homework assignment to be completed between therapy sessions.
