Welcome to Finding You
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 nearly 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 over sixteen 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.
Now offering a course "In Search Of Self"
An online course for women starting January 2025
This spiritual exploration of the “self” centres around the teachings and knowing of women Bee Priestesses, the Melissae, who it is thought “ once upon a time” for around 2000 years were our spiritual leaders who maintained harmony on earth.
The Melissae were animastic, Earth centric and communicated with the natural world; who were their God’s, the divine. PL Travers in her book “what the Bees know” wrote that bees had access to the divine and acted as messengers between worlds.
We are inviting the Melissae, our ancestors, there knowing and their wisdom to be our allies in this work along with “Old Mother dark” the first, ancient of ancients, Mother to us all. They will guide our Gnosis, that is, knowledge of the “Self” via the means of knowing our origin and spiritual heritage.
Weaved into this we will be inviting incites and connection to “Self” via story. You will be invited to dance with the stories and meet them with your story. Live with them for a while and engage with their medicine. Asking; “who am I or where am I in the story”
Psychotherapy provides the foundation for this work, it will hold us and ground us.
