Couples Counselling

P.S: This is one of my artworks, inspired by the work I do with couples, it is titled "Relationships are a Dance". It's quite a symbolic photo really, me supporting and keeping you safe as you learn the steps to dance intimately with each other.

Are you and your partner feeling a bit out of step with each other? Or like you are both doing a completely different dance? When you are ready to do the work to strengthen your relationship, the first step will be an online discovery call. This 15-minute session is your opportunity to share where you’re both at, where you’d both like to be, and explore how we might work together so you’re not standing on each others toes. Relationships are like a dance, and I am like the dance coach, helping couples who are willing to put in the practice time to move in sync again. If you’re both ready to learn some new steps, communicate openly, and build a stronger, more resilient partnership, book a call. Let’s give this a whirl.

PS: The artwork shown here of the lady dancing out of the fire with her face tilted up and her arms raised, is one of my drawings. It is titled "Finally Free" and was inspired by the amazing women I have had the privilege of working with, in honour of their brave steps through the fire and beyond.

Hi, I’m Karen AD

Your go-to Counsellor, Coach, Artist, and business boss babe.

If you’re feeling like you’re spinning your wheels but getting nowhere, you’re not alone. When burnout hits, it can feel like you’re carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders—mental exhaustion, brain fog, stress, and overwhelm are not fun companions. It’s like your brain is ringing a little alarm bell saying, “Hey, something’s not right!” And if we don’t address those warning signs— inability to cope, lack of motivation, decision fatigue, compassion fatigue —it can lead to a full-on meltdown.

This is where I can help. I weave together therapy and coaching with the creative, and a sprinkling of empathy and intuition, to help you figure out how you got here, unravel the knots of overwhelm, and discover practical strategies to help you get through what you can’t get over.

Think of it as a life makeover—tweaking those areas that need a little love so you can live in alignment with your true self. I’m your life tweaker, armed with the tools to help you find your joy. Together, let’s embrace the messiness, and get some relief for those heavy feelings. I’ll be right here in your corner every step of the way!

Curious about what it’s like to work with me?

  • "[Karen's] support has been life-changing!"

    “I came to Karen feeling completely exhausted, anxious, and trapped in severe burnout. Years of managing my husband's mental health challenges and dealing with relentless financial stress had left me feeling lost and overwhelmed. I had tried therapy, yoga, meditation, and more, but nothing helped me get back to my true self. Working with Karen was different. Her humanistic and encouraging approach, combined with art therapy, gave me a safe space to explore my feelings and express myself. I found my sense of self again, learned to set boundaries, and reconnected with my creative side. For the first time in over a decade, I felt confident and ready to share my artistic talents with the world. Karen’s unique ability to blend art therapy with counseling was exactly what I needed. She truly understands the struggles of creatives, and her methods helped me unlock emotions I had buried for years. My life and my creative business are thriving now because I have a clear perspective on who I am and what I want. I highly recommend Karen to anyone feeling stuck or overwhelmed. Her support has been life-changing, and I’m so grateful for everything she’s done.”

  • "I felt seen, heard and cared for."

    “Before working with Karen, my life was in complete turmoil with so many things going on. I tried tears, lots of tears, self loathing and ridicule, none of which helped. Karen helped me see I’m not broken and my emotions are valid. Whenever we had a session, no matter the worries of the day, I felt seen, heard and cared for. Karen helped me find ways to express the deep emotions I was glossing over. Working with Karen and learning from her brought me greater understanding of myself, my value and my unique view of the world. And I got to be creative!”

    - Izzy

  • "I highly recommend Karen."

    “I've been working with Karen for a while now, and every session leaves me feeling lighter and more at peace. She has a remarkable ability to listen and guide you through your thoughts and feelings until you find clarity. One of the most significant changes I've noticed is how my mindset and reactions have started to shift, allowing me to approach situations with a calmer perspective. Karen is so lovely, kind, and caring—her warmth makes a big difference. She takes the time to explain things and talk through any issue until you truly feel better. I've always left our sessions feeling more balanced and at ease. I highly recommend Karen to anyone who needs a little extra help navigating life's challenges. Her approach is gentle yet effective, and she's wonderful at creating a space where you feel heard and supported.”

    - Grace

  • "Each session is thoughtfully constructed to suit your own needs."

    I would definitely recommend Karen’s coaching and counselling. She offers a personalised, creative and caring approach. Each session is thoughtfully constructed to suit your own needs without feeling intimidating or judgemental. I was struggling with panic attacks and generalised anxiety when I came to see her. I had tried cognitive Behaviour Therapy but it wasn’t effective for me. My biggest breakthrough has been getting to know myself better and not being apologetic for that!

    - Emily

  • May regained her self confidence & independence

    “I started working with Karen when I was going through a relationship breakup. I knew I needed help. The biggest breakthrough I have experienced while working with Karen, has been regaining my self confidence and independence when I thought it was impossible.”
