We all have our share of life’s challenges that impact ourselves and those around us.  In Karen’s case her professional counselling experience has been enriched by personal experience of fostering, ME (chronic fatique syndrome), special needs and learning difficulties.  She’s in a unique situation to be the “Someone In Your Corner”.

  

At NorthStar Counselling about 10% of Karen’s counselling work is at reduced rates to support those in special hardship circumstances.  She also lends her professional counselling experience to the panel of survivors of clerical child abuse.

Located in County Laois, Karen has a number of locations where you can avail of counselling.
