Karen Macdonald

I am available to see new clients

I am a fully qualified and experienced psychodynamic psychotherapist specialising in relationships. I work with individuals and couples who are looking for a confidential space where they can explore issues that are getting in the way of having a fulfilling and mutually satisfying relationship. 

I trained at Tavistock Relationships where I worked as a visiting clinician seeing clients for short and longterm therapy.  I continue to attend their continuing professional development (CPD) courses.

I help clients understand how early experiences affect patterns of behaviour, thoughts and emotions throughout life in both positive and negative ways. These experiences influence how we see ourselves and relate to others but are often outside of our awareness and can create obstacles in our most intimate relationships. 

By getting to know ourselves, and those we are closest to, with compassion and curiosity,  our relationships can be greatly improved. 

I like to have a brief chat on the phone followed by an initial online consultation which lasts about an hour.

Ongoing therapy consists of 50 minute weekly sessions.
