I started weekly sessions with Karen in Kotara after a tough few months, and I’ve noticed real changes. She helped me identify patterns with CBT and gave practical stress techniques I actually use day-to-day. The office is easy to reach and she never made me feel rushed. Highly recommend for anyone in Newcastle area needing honest guidance.
Grateful for the effective approach Karen brings. The couples sessions helped us communicate better and feel heard again. It’s reassuring to have a psychologist who explains things clearly and gives us tools we can apply at home.
I’ve seen a few therapists around Newcastle, but Karen’s CBT techniques really clicked for me. The stress management tips have reduced my anxiety at work, and I leave each session with something tangible to work on.
Loved the family therapy sessions. Karen helped our family navigate a tricky period with patience and practical exercises. The whole process felt safe and constructive, which isn’t always the case with therapy.
As someone living in Kotara, I appreciated how accessible Karen’s clinic is. The individual therapy sessions have given me better coping strategies, and I’ve seen real progress in managing stress since starting.
Karen’s approach is warm and grounded. The CBT work, combined with simple daily routines, has helped me feel more in control of my thoughts. I’d recommend her to friends around Newcastle who want practical results.
Relieved to find a psychologist who listens well and explains things in plain language. The sessions in Suite 1 at Northcott Drive were comfortable, and the coping strategies have made an actual difference in my week-to-week mood.
