ABOUT US
We are a team of two, offering counselling & coaching
Based in Mid Devon, Karen and Caroline, offer counselling and coaching to support people in making the most of their life, developing self-awareness, confidence, empowerment and potential. We bring a variety of experiences to our work and share key values and principles in what we offer and how we will work with you.
Everyone is unique and experiences and conversations will be different, but the way in which we work will be the same. Sessions will be held in a caring environment providing a safe space to talk. Conversations will be authentic and be non-judgemental and provide an opportunity to work alongside you, supporting and challenging you with curiosity, dignity and respect.
We will work with you to build a strong and deep sense of who you are, who you want to become and what you want to achieve as a person.

KAREN
The one thing that always impresses me is people’s capacity to change…
As a graduate of Modern Languages and Business I spent the forefront of my career travelling and experiencing cultural change in the business world. After starting a family, I retrained in Integrative Counselling and am a full qualified registered member of the BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy).
As a foster carer and adoptive parent I am a strong advocate of supporting those affected by the care system, either as a carer, birth or adoptive parent or a ‘looked after’ child.
I have met so many inspiring people over my life, none more so than the clients I have had the absolute pleasure in working with as a counsellor. I really look forward to working with you.
My qualifications:
- Bachelor’s Degree in Modern Foreign Languages and Business.
- Certificate in Counselling Iron Mill College
- Advanced Diploma in Integrative Counselling
- Masters Degree in Psychodynamics of Human Development
KIND WORDS…
“I feel I gained a much better understanding of my situation and was then able to change my behaviours in ways which were beneficial to me.”
