Becoming Whole Psychotherapy 157 Crown Street, Wollongong, New South Wales 2500

"I cannot find the words required to explain just how incredible Karen is. After decades of issues, and decades of talking to many counsellors, psychotherapists, Drs, psychologists, you name it, nothing had changed. And then, by chance, I met Karen, and she needed a few patients for supervised sessions, and did I know of anyone who would be interested? Why, yes, I do. ME!! So, I started the sessions, honestly not expecting this to be different than previous sessions. You see, over the years, I had been to a ridiculous number of therapists, and frankly, got more out of getting schnickered and talking to my cat. This was why I wasn't entirely sure anyone could actually "help", so was somewhat reticent. Now, this is an extremely unusual sensation for me, but I was WRONG!! Karen worked WITH me, which was different, previously I had always been expected to know exactly what all my problems were, and as it turns out, I didn't have a clue. What I thought was bothering me, as opposed to what we discovered was bothering me, were poles apart! We did a couple of supervised sessions, but I wasn't stopping there, this is HELPING! Can I keep going? I can? YAY!! Within 10 sessions, there had been a significant shift in my mindset. My anger was gone, my need to know "why", all just.....gone. Every day I am aware of a calmness within myself, a joy that, for so long, had been overlaid with years of pain. That joy is free now, which, combined with the calm that took the place of anger, has made me a far more pleasant and happy person. Don't get me wrong, I can still be a complete nightmare when the occasion calls for it, but my relationship is better, happier, (and we were very happy to start with, we're at levels bordering on insanity now!) my partner is calmer because I am, and all in all, life is pretty damn wonderful, and I am in complete understanding that this wouldn't have been achieved without Karen's help. Her innate understanding of people, her ability to read them, means you can't hide ANYTHING, which is all to the good. Without blame or judgement, just calm acceptance and understanding, Karen gently brings you to a place of safety where you can release all your pain. I would, and have, recommend Karen to anyone with issues they need to deal with. I can see myself going back to her every now and again, just to be sure I'm still on track. Karen is constantly studying and learning, expanding her abilities to help as many people as possible, and helping people is what she was clearly born to do. I cannot recommend her highly enough, her abilities are phenomenal, her knowledge and understanding greater than anyone I have ever encountered. After years of therapy, it took only 10 sessions with Karen for fundamental change. I wish I'd known YEARS ago!"

"I have experienced multiple modalities in my healing journey but with Karen there was nowhere to hide. My vulnerability which I saw as a weakness had no choice but to rear its head for healing.! Karen was able to dig deeper than I could have gone myself to find the bits that were locked up so tight. This is next level healing. Everyone should see Karen to declutter their mind, body and spirit ."

"I would highly recommend Karen to anyone who is seeking counselling. Karen is supportive, empathetic and makes you feel comfortable enough to open up. It was my first time doing individual counselling and I was able to work through things with Karen that I wasn’t able to overcome on my own. The awareness that I gained from our sessions have helped me immensely!"

"Karen at Becoming Whole has been a true God send with my healing journey, 12 months ago I would never imagine being where I am today. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for getting me here and would high recommend her. Karen is very professional, friendly and so compassionate iam lucky to have found her Thank you Rae"

"I had several Incredible sessions with Karen, she was able to assist me from the first meeting. Karen possesses a true gift and helped me understand what was going on with my thinking, and ways to move forward. If you are having some difficulties, my recommendation would be to contact Karen she will definitely know how to help you with your challenges with a very down to earth and compassionate approach. I feel very Blessedly to have met you. Regards, Sam"
