Counselling in NG23
Every day, overwhelm, burnout, and self-sabotage ruin the lives of men. One bad day or poor decision can threaten your health, relationships, and work - or destroy your reputation, peace, and sanity. To manoeuvre in the modern world, manage your own ego, build psychological fitness, and protect long-term performance, facing the man in the mirror is no longer optional. My job is to make this as easy as possible, and help prevent you from ever becoming a statistic. Having delivered over 7500 consultations for a broad range of challenges, I offer a pragmatic and performance-focused approach for those willing to do the work.

“You do not need magic to transform your life. You carry the power you need inside yourself already.” My name is Karen. I am a wife, mother, and daughter. I have experienced the highs and lows of life; giving me a profound insight into how therapy can reinforce a positive mindset and change lives. I am deeply compassionate towards one’s experiences and provide a consensual understanding by placing the formation of a therapeutic relationship at the forefront of my counselling method. Through individuals being treated with respect, acceptance and understanding, an open and honest relationship can be built.

For more than 25 years I’ve supported adults through tough times, first in the NHS and now in private practice. Many people come to me because they’re feeling anxious, overwhelmed, “on edge,” low in mood, burnt out, or simply not like themselves. Others are dealing with panic attacks, overthinking, self‑esteem worries, relationship stress, or the impact of trauma and PTSD. Whatever you’re facing, therapy can help you feel calmer, clearer and more in control again.
I offer in‑person therapy just outside Newark‑on‑Trent and online therapy for people giving you flexibility to choose what feels right for you.

Hi my name is Lizzie, How are you feeling? unhappy, anxious, stressed, angry or depressed, or is there something specific you feel you would like to talk about. Life can be difficult and overwhelming, we sometimes struggle to make sense of our feelings and what is going on for us. We can get stuck and not know how to make life more comfortable. Although that first step can be nerve wracking and sometimes difficult, Counselling can be that first step to making that positive change. This is your time for you, to be listened to and understood and have the the world seen from your perspective, at a pace that is comfortable for you.

People often come feeling stuck in patterns that feel confusing or painful, sometimes linked to earlier experiences that still shape how they feel or relate today. They may be living with anxiety, trauma, shame, or difficulties around trust, intimacy, or communication. Many are looking for a space where they can feel understood, make sense of what they are carrying, and move towards greater emotional ease, self-understanding, and more fulfilling relationships. Often, they are seeking change that feels meaningful and lasting, rather than another short-term solution, and a greater sense of feeling at home in themselves and their lives

I work with a wide range of issues. My role as a psychotherapist is to listen to you with sensitivity and empathy and without judgement or rushing you. In this way, we can both try to make sense of what has happened up to this point in time. You may be feeling depressed, anxious, stressed or heartbroken because of it. These are natural emotional responses to what has gone on - however if this has been going for a while, or you don't have someone to talk to, I could be able to help.

You’ve always been the capable one. High functioning, self-aware, often the person others turn to for advice. You understand yourself pretty well, but knowing why you feel this way doesn’t always stop the same patterns repeating. You might overthink relationships, struggle to trust or fully let people in, become attached to people who can’t quite meet your needs, or feel exhausted from always being the strong one. I work with women experiencing anxiety, overwhelm, attachment and relationship difficulties, trauma, motherhood and big life transitions.

Hello and a warm welcome to you.
‘Something’ that is creating distress, and maybe leading to dysfunction, perhaps a feeling of ‘stuckness’ or 'emptiness' in your life, may have brought you here. This ‘something’ could be struggles within yourself, difficulties in relationships or dealing with grief or loss to name only a few. This ‘something’ may not yet be known to have a cause or reason and you may be unaware of exactly what the root of this inner pain or suffering is. And that’s okay. It could be a long-term feeling of emptiness. And gently starting to explore this feeling of emptiness is where our work begins.

Perhaps you keep finding yourself in painful or unfulfilling relationships, feel responsible for everyone except yourself, or struggle with anxiety, low mood or a sense of not being good enough. You may understand why you feel this way but still find the same patterns repeating. I work with adults who want more than short-term coping strategies and are interested in developing a deeper understanding of themselves, their relationships and the experiences that have shaped them.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
Counsellors and Psychotherapists listed in the directory are members of the main professional associations, mainly the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP). Most Psychologists in the directory are accredited members of the British Psychological Society (BPS) and/or are registered in the Health and Care Professions Council (HPCP).
Providers whose professional membership or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Given that professional memberships are not a statutory requirement for psychotherapists and counsellors in the UK, certain qualified professionals or organisations may choose not to maintain such memberships despite possessing the necessary qualifications. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counsellor?
Counsellors, psychotherapists and psychologists can all provide counselling or talking therapy and have credentials and experience that enable them to do so in the UK. Psychologists have earned a degree in psychology and many are members of the British Psychological Society (BPS) and have completed a postgraduate qualification in a specialism. Counsellors and Psychotherapists are not required to have a psychology degree, but to belong to a professional organisation such as the BACP or UKCP, they are required to have completed a training course as well as clinical and supervision hours.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
How much does therapy cost?
The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the UK could be between £30 - £60 when seeing a counsellor and £60 - £150 and up when seeing a clinical psychologist. If you have private insurance, your plan may cover some if not all of your sessions. You should contact your insurance provider to determine if they provide coverage for therapy sessions and to determine what, if any, requirements they might have in order for your sessions to be covered, such as a referral from your GP or medical specialist.
What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?
Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.
If you are struggling to access therapy due to budget constraints, you could also consider public funded mental health services. The NHS Talking therapies programme offers free of charge counselling for common mental health problems like anxiety and depression. The service is available to anyone registered with a GP, though you do not necessarily need to be referred by your GP and can refer yourself directly to a Talking therapies service. The service will provide different solutions, including group and individual therapy, for a limited number of sessions which are generally up to six.

Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your postcode.
Are therapy sessions confidential?
Therapists who are part of a professional organisation such as the BACP, the UKCP, or BPS are bound by an ethical framework that requires them to uphold a confidentiality agreement. Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship and only under specific circumstances, such as when there has been participation in a criminal act or act of terror, or if there is potential or known harm to the client or others, will a therapist be obligated to break the agreement. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed during the initial consultation.
