I am a highly proficient psychotherapist and coach, at senior level.  My clinical excellence is based on 30 years of experience working in private practice, the NHS, the voluntary and charity sectors, education and criminal justice.  I also provide organisational consultancy and critical incident debriefing.

I have worked as a senior manager, executive, and leader in mental health, education, training and criminal justice and acted as a psychological consultant to tv and film productions.

Karen has published on a range of topics including, understanding organisations and technology and trauma.  I am a founder member of The Systems Psychodynamic Consultants Network.

I am highly trained and qualified in a wide range of therapeutic models, psychoanalytic, integrative, systemic family therapy, and most recently I have trained in Consulting to Organisations at The Tavistock Centre and is currently in the Doctoral Programme there.
