100% YOU THERAPY
Welcome – I’m Karen
I’m a qualified counsellor, and I’m so glad you’ve found your way here.
You’ve already taken an important step toward prioritizing your mental wellbeing. Life can be challenging, and we all carry our own stories of highs and lows. I offer a calm, supportive space where you can talk freely, be heard, and never feel judged.
As your counsellor, I’ll walk alongside you—helping you explore, understand, and navigate whatever you’re facing, at your own pace. This philosophy of "walking alongside" is at the heart of everything I do. When I’m not in the therapy room, I’m often out on wellbeing walks with Kobi, my dog, who works with me in a local primary school to support children’s emotional health.
My commitment to wellbeing extends across the community; I also volunteer in primary and high schools and serve as a Welfare Officer for a competitive netball club, supporting athletes in balancing the pressures of performance with mental resilience. These experiences remind me every day that while our journeys are unique, we all benefit from a steady, grounded presence.
It’s essential to find the right therapist for you. The connection we build is a key part of your journey, which is why I offer a no-obligation consultation session. It’s a chance to talk, ask questions, and see how it feels.
Reaching out isn’t always easy—but you’ve made it this far. When you’re ready, just get in touch, and we can take the next step together.
Services
In the same way that no two people are the same, no two therapy journeys should be either. I don't believe in "one-size-fits-all" solutions or rigid, clinical boxes. Instead, I work integratively, which is a fancy way of saying I bring together different tools and techniques to fit your specific needs.
Whether you are navigating a difficult transition, managing professional burnout, or simply feeling "diluted," we will find the approach that resonates with you. This might mean:
Talking it through: Using traditional "person-centred" therapy to explore your story in a safe, quiet space.
A "wellbeing walk": Sometimes, the best breakthroughs happen when we’re moving in the fresh air rather than sitting in a room.
Bringing in the "real": Using the calm presence of nature (or a friendly dog like Kobi) to help lower your defenses and find your centre.
You are the expert on your own life. My role is to walk alongside you, offering the empathy, honesty, and professional insight you need to rediscover 100% You. We go as deep as you’re ready to go, and we move at a pace that feels safe for you.
My journey to becoming a counsellor was both a professional evolution and a deeply personal one.
For many years, I navigated the fast-paced hospitality industry in sponsorship and communications. Later, I moved into the education sector in a school and college dedicated to neurodiverse children and young adults. While these roles were very different, they shared a common thread: the vital importance of how we connect and communicate with one another.
However, it was through my own personal experiences in therapy that I truly began to understand the life-changing power of being heard and supported without judgment. That experience stayed with me. As I trained for my diploma, I was continually inspired by the strength and compassion of my peers, and I realised that I wanted to offer that same sense of hope and clarity to others.
Becoming a counsellor felt like a natural homecoming. My background and life experiences allow me to bring a 'real-world' perspective to our sessions, so whatever you are navigating through, I am here to walk alongside you through life’s hardest moments with empathy, honesty, and care.
My Path To Therapy
Before moving into therapy, I spent decades in demanding, high-level corporate and educational environments
It was during my time in education whilst managing a wellbeing project, that I had my first true "taster" for wellbeing. I saw the human side of the workplace—the need for empathy, the weight of professional pressure, and the importance of having someone to talk to when things feel overwhelming.
I don't just bring "textbook" knowledge to our sessions; I bring years of real-world experience. I understand the "mental load" you carry, and I am here to walk alongside you as you navigate your way back to 100% You.
Together, we’ll navigate your highs and lows, helping you reconnect with the person you were always meant to be.
Start Your Journey to 100% You
You’ve already taken a brave first step by prioritising your wellbeing. Now, it’s about finding the person who can best support you on the path ahead.
In my work, whether I’m in an adult therapy session or taking local school children on "wellbeing walks" with my dog, I see every day how much the right connection matters. Just as my dog provides a calm, steady presence for the children he supports, I aim to provide that same grounded space for you.
Because that connection is so vital, I offer a free, no-obligation 15-minute consultation. It’s a chance for us to talk, for you to ask questions, and for us to see how it feels to work together.
Reaching out takes courage, but you’ve made it this far. When you’re ready, email me at admin@100percentyoutherapy.co.uk or get in touch via the contact page. Let’s take the next step together.
