About Karla

Hi, I'm Karla, 47, a counsellor and trauma-informed psychotherapeutic practitioner, with over 6 years of therapeutic practice and more than 25 years' experience across the NHS, charities, corporate settings, community services, youth work, and private practice. I support people who want real understanding, not judgement or surface-level solutions. I don't just listen. I'm alongside you on your journey. Whether you feel stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, questioning yourself or others, this is your space. Sessions give you the space to explore your past, present, and future. I listen deeply, hold distress with care, and help you move forward with greater confidence, and clarity. I can offer suggestions, motivational support, strategies, growth models, and mindfulness techniques. Some issues I support: depression, anxiety, trauma, work stress, burnout, family/friends conflict, family trauma, narcissistic abuse, relationships, confidence, life changes, ayahuasca recovery and reintegration, identity, bereavement, abuse, spirituality, menopause & hormonal, fertility, health, childhood abuse, imposter syndrome, ADHD, stress, LGB+ support, inner healing, "Who am I" philosophical support, loneliness, addiction & more.

Session packages

Pay for a block of sessions up front, at a lower price per session.

Our advice: start with the free discovery call and a session or two. If it feels right, a package is the better option, for the price and for the consistency, which is the part of therapy that really makes a difference.

Your first step

Start with a free 15-minute discovery call with Karla, by video or audio. It costs nothing and commits you to nothing. Talk about what brings you here and see whether you feel at ease with Karla.

If it feels right, you pay session by session, at the fee on this page, with no hidden charges. If it does not, you can have free discovery calls with other therapists until someone feels right. We are with you every step of the way, not just at the start.

We will confirm your email and introduce you.
