About the counselling...
"Counselling has provided us with lots of different ways to be more connected as well as giving us a regular way of ensuring we are on the right path through a lot of healing. I have noticed I have improved my self-confidence and let go of a lot of things from the past"
"I liked the idea of performing exercises as a couple. It helped me with self-reflection and to understand our relationship better, including things to avoid doing"
​
"The sessions have helped us find our path back together again. It was easier to communicate with a third party listening"
​
"It helped to reduce our negative lens and shift it to a more positive perspective on our relationship. Practical actions to take from each session to work on until the next appointment was helpful, and it allowed time for the work and new habits to develop"
​
"We now have better communication and fewer arguments"
"It helped by providing a safe space to discuss feelings, emotions and mediate the conversation between my partner and I. It also provided us with practical tools and frameworks to improve our relationship, communication, trust etc. Very thankful for Dr Karin's time and help. She has been an agent of my self development and personal growth"
​
"The individual report and diagnostic on opportunities of improvement was extremely helpful for us as a couple"
​
"It was very systematic in the way she assessed our situation and helped us accordingly. After each session we were given feedback and material to think over and work on"

"It helped us understand the challenges we had in our relationship and what we could do to repair and improve it"
​
"We liked the structured approach and that it gave us something to work on each week"
