Has life started to feel harder than it should?

You're tired.

Not just physically, but mentally.

Maybe you're thinking about everything or replaying conversations long after they’ve happened.

Perhaps you’re questioning yourself or trying to work out why your mind won’t give you a break.

You might not even know how to explain it anymore

You just know you can’t keep doing this.

Let’s get really clear about what’s been happening.

There's usually more to the story.

Maybe your mind keeps replaying conversations because you're trying to work out if you said the wrong thing.

Perhaps you've learned to keep everyone happy because disappointing people didn't feel safe.

Maybe every tense conversation feels like something you have to sort out straight away because sitting with uncertainty feels harder than fixing it.

There's usually a perfectly good explanation for why these patterns are there.

At one time, they served a purpose.

They helped you cope, protected you and got you through.

Now they're draining your energy, taking up your time and holding you back.

Change doesn’t happen because you try harder.

Have you noticed that?

You’ve probably spent enough time trying to think your way through this.

The harder you try, the more frustrating it becomes.

The more overwhelmed you feel.

Because this isn’t something you can simply think your way out of.

There’s usually something underneath that’s been quietly shaping the way you respond.

Once that begins to make sense, things begin to change.

Hi, I’m Karen.

When we sit down together, we start with whatever feels most important to you.

We slow things down.

What are you feeling? What are you telling yourself? What are you making this situation mean?

Sometimes the answer comes quickly. Other times, we follow one small thread and find something you hadn’t connected before.

Little by little, things begin to make sense.

You don’t have to keep trying to work it all out on your own.

We’ll work through it together.

You don’t need to know exactly what you need before you begin.

Wherever you’re starting from, we’ll work out the best way forward together.
