Helping People Create Lasting Change Through Nervous System Regulation, Trauma Recovery and Behaviour Change
Most people don’t seek support because they are broken.
They seek support because something no longer feels sustainable.
Perhaps anxiety is taking over. Sleep has become elusive. Relationships feel strained. Trauma continues to influence daily life. Menopause has left you feeling unlike yourself. Your child is struggling with emotional regulation, behaviour or overwhelm. Or cancer has arrived unexpectedly and changed everything.
Whatever brings you here, my role is to help you understand what is happening beneath the surface and create meaningful, lasting change.
As a Clinical Counsellor, Advanced Kinesiologist, Hypnotherapist, Resource Therapist, Meditation Facilitator and Trauma-Informed Coach, I specialise in helping individuals and families understand the relationship between the brain, body, emotions and nervous system.
For more than two decades, I have supported people navigating stress, trauma, anxiety, neurodiversity, peri-menopause, menopause, cancer diagnosis and recovery, emotional overwhelm, behavioural challenges and major life transitions.
My approach integrates evidence-informed counselling with nervous system regulation, behavioural science, kinesiology, hypnotherapy and trauma-informed therapeutic interventions.
I believe that symptoms often make sense when viewed through the lens of nervous system adaptation.
Rather than asking, “What’s wrong with you?” I ask, “What has happened to you, and how has your nervous system learned to respond?”
Understanding that difference can change everything.

My Areas of Expertise
Nervous System Regulation
Helping individuals understand and regulate stress responses that affect emotional wellbeing, physical health, relationships and daily functioning.
Trauma Recovery
Supporting clients to safely process unresolved experiences while building resilience, emotional regulation and self-trust.
Neurodiversity Support
Working with neurodivergent children, adolescents, adults and families to improve emotional regulation, reduce overwhelm and build strengths-based strategies.
Perimenopause and Menopause
Supporting women through hormonal transitions that impact mood, anxiety, executive functioning, sleep, confidence and overall wellbeing.
Cancer Support
Providing emotional and practical support before diagnosis, throughout treatment and into recovery for patients, caregivers and families.
Behaviour Change
Helping clients create sustainable change by understanding the interaction between beliefs, emotions, habits, nervous system responses and behaviour.
My Approach
No two people are the same.
Every client brings a unique history, nervous system, set of experiences and goals.
This is why I integrate multiple evidence-informed approaches including:
- Clinical Counselling
- Advanced Kinesiology
- Hypnotherapy
- Resource Therapy
- Trauma-Informed Coaching
- Mindfulness and Meditation
- Behaviour Change Strategies
- Emotional Regulation Training
- Nervous System Regulation Interventions
Together, these approaches allow me to tailor support to the individual rather than forcing the individual to fit a predetermined model.

Testimonials
Love seeing Karen to sort out my issues. I think she knows me better than I know myself. Always have a new understanding of self after spending time with her. Highly recommend her to everyone
My daughter went to Karen nearly a week ago with symptoms that a 14 yr old shouldn’t be feeling. No energy, tired constantly, headaches, dizzyness, constipated. Not having enough energy to be as normal 14 yr old hanging with friends. I can tell you Karen has given me back my 14 yr old bubbly energetic daughter back. It’s amazing what she does and even more amazing the results from just one session.
Thanks Karen
Your webinar today was very useful for my Kinesiology business thanks Karen. It is so good to witness your leadership in social media and Kinesiology. I really appreciate your generosity in sharing your knowledge
I had a session with Karen a couple of weeks ago. Karen came HIGHLY recommended to me and can I say, she did not disappoint! I walked in to my appointment feeling nothing. Empty, fed up, sick of everything but without the right words to explain it. And then I walked out after my appoinment feeling nothing. This was a good nothing though – None of what I walked in with came back out with me! It was like a huge weight was lifted from me and the best part was that I didn’t even need to put it into words! Thanks so much Karen, I’ll be sure to tell everyone about you and I’ll definitely be back! Xx
You really can
choose to change
and
bloom from within
