I'm Karen Sargison. I specialise in working with adults, teenagers and children who feel unheard, overwhelmed & burnt-out — those who’ve been left behind by systems that were supposed to help — those who’ve reached out and been met with waiting lists, assessments, or feeling dismissed. Perhaps you or someone you're caring for, are feeling confused, hopeless, or numb and don't know where to turn next. I offer a space to slow down, be heard, and feel validated. Together, we’ll find ways to help you feel more confident, more resilient and ​​​​ more able to cope.
You may be in distress and need someone to listen, support and be compassionate. You might want practical tools to manage anxiety or overwhelm, or to build confidence. Maybe you’re ready to explore deeper patterns, uncover root causes, or do inner child work to process early life experiences. Whatever your goals, we'll work towards them, at your pace.
I feel privileged to do this work, and I’d love to support you on your journey. If what you’ve read resonates, or if you have questions, feel free to get in touch. I offer a free 20-minute phone consultation so you can get a sense of whether we’re the right fit. Or, if you're ready, you can book a session straight away.

I am an integrative counsellor, which means I draw from several approaches: Person-Centred, Gestalt, CBT, and Transpersonal theories, and tailor them to suit your unique needs. In simple terms, I try to see the world through your eyes, to walk in your shoes but can share practical tools to manage anxiety or explore deeper patterns to process life experiences, past or present.
