Karen Cross

As an Adult Counsellor and Child & Adolescent Psychotherapist, I work with adults, teenagers and children from a comfortable garden studio in Horsmonden on an individual basis.  I have a Masters Degree in Integrative Child & Adolescent Psychotherapy and I have also undergone additional training in CBT, and the Rewind Technique for the relief of traumatic symptoms. 

Whatever our backgrounds, age, or experience - life just doesn't always run smoothly. But, through counselling, I do believe that each one of us is able to live a happier, more rewarding and fulfilling life. However, there are hundreds of different counselling approaches and it is important to find an approach and a therapist who is right for you. 

I am fully insured, CRB checked, a memeber of Â鶹ԭ´´ and an accredited member of UKCP. In addition to running a private practice and my current work within various schools, I have also worked for Cruse Bereavement Care and other charitable organisations, counselling clients of all ages.

In addition to traditional "talking therapy", I can offer creative interventions, such as drawing, writing, sand tray, visualizations, etc. This approach is useful for clients who are comfortable with intuitive ways or working, or for those who find it hard to find the words they are looking for. I may also teach relaxation and body awareness to help with stress, panic attacks, and to help manage and understand anger.

I can offer concessionary rates for students or those on low incomes.
