About
My Philosophy
At Karen Hutchinson counselling and supervision, I believe that everyone has the ability to lead a happy and fulfilling life. My philosophy is rooted in the ideas that mental and emotional well-being are integral to overall health, and that therapy can be a powerful tool for achieving this balance.
My Expertise
I have more than 25 years of experience helping individuals and families navigate life's challenges. I specialize in a wide range of areas, including trauma and relationship issues and communication.
My Approach
My approach to therapy is rooted in empathy, compassion, and non-judgement. As a counsellor trained in narrative therapy, I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where clients feel comfortable exploring their thoughts and feelings, and where they can develop the skills and tools they need to thrive.
