Medical Specialties
Psychiatry

Karen's approach is informed by a variety of effective therapeutic models which she will explain & adapt to your needs & preferences. She is experienced in working with people across the age span from infancy to those who are parenting young adults. She is skilled in identifying & ameliorating developmental difficulties, relationship based distress as well as common mental disorders including anxiety & depression.

Given her work in the public system she is used to working alongside other professionals from different disciplines to improve the outcomes for young people. Occasionally if it is appropriate she will suggest using medication as part of the treatment package, though she will ensure other strategies are utilised first. Often this is in conjunction to monitoring by a Paediatrician.

Karen will work with people at a pace that suits them & explore issues to the degree they prefer. She finds that people may return at different times in their lives to address what is coming up when feeling stuck or overwhelmed. Others prefer to resolve underlying issues & to reach a new level of ease & wellbeing once their symptoms resolve.
