Feel Understood. Find Your Way Forward. Hello, I'm Karen Vernon, a BABCP accredited CBT Psychotherapist. I offer expert, compassionate support for a wide range of difficulties, including trauma/PTSD, menopause-related mental health, mood disorders and various anxieties (Generalised, Social, Health, Panic). I also provide effective CBT for depression, OCD, phobias, psychosis, and bipolar disorder. My warm, empathetic, and person-centred approach ensures you feel truly heard in a safe, non-judgemental space, ready to explore your feelings and identify root causes.
With trauma-focused therapy, I offer tailored support for difficult past experiences. If you're new to therapy or nervous, my friendly style helps you relax and engage. We'll collaboratively develop practical CBT tools to manage emotions, reframe thoughts, and gain new perspectives, empowering you to achieve lasting change in your mental health.
Choosing the right therapist is key. By building a strong, trusting therapeutic relationship, we'll work together towards your individual goals. My mission is to help you develop effective coping strategies, improve your emotional well-being, and ultimately lead a more fulfilling life. Ready to take the next step towards feeling better?

I work with clients who may be struggling with depression, anxiety or trauma related difficulties. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.

I practice Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and trauma-focused therapy. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
