Welcome to my website. I hope you find it easy to navigate, useful and helpful. I am Karen and I have been working in mental health for over two decades. I have taught trainee counsellors and I am a very experienced, highly qualified, psychotherapist/counsellor and have been running a highly successful, established private couple therapy and one to one counselling practice in Bishops Stortford for nearly 20 years.

Finding You is registered on the British Association Of Counsellors And Psychotherapists website (BACP)

When choosing a psychotherapist/counsellor please check their qualifications and make sure they are registered members of an accredited counselling organisation. Someone advertising themselves as a psychotherapist has normally trained for five years for that qualification. Someone advertising themselves as a counsellor has normally trained for three years for that qualification. Make sure yours has. Unfortunately, many who advertise that they are qualified psychotherapists/counsellors are not.
