Karen Barnitt

I currently have availability. My hours of work are flexible, but I do not work Saturday, Sunday, or Bank Holidays.

At Hope Counselling, I believe in creating a safe and comfortable environment for everyone seeking support. My journey in the field of counselling began with a commitment to helping individuals navigate their personal challenges. With years of training and experience, I have developed a compassionate approach that prioritises the unique needs of each client. My practice is focused on providing a client-centred service that empowers you to speak freely and explore your emotions without judgement. Hope Counselling is located close to the river Tamar right on the boarder between Cornwall and Devon. I am dedicated to offering a warm and professional atmosphere for everyone who contacts me.

I am well qualified, very experienced and continually updating my skill set. I am a member of the Â鶹ԭ´´, which is one of the professional bodies for UK counsellors.

I specialise in trauma-informed care, understanding the profound impact that past experiences can have on the present. I offer various therapeutic techniques tailored to your individual needs, ensuring that each session is meaningful and productive. My goal is to foster resilience and support your journey to healing and recovery. Whether you are facing anxiety, depression, seeking general support or have a specific trauma history and burden that you carry, I am here to assist you. We can work together to build coping strategies and enhance your emotional well-being. Together, we will create a path towards a healthier and happier you. 

We all need help and support at different times in our lives. No matter who you are, the right help at the right time goes a long way.

Hope Counselling is offering a truly holistic and compassionate service to clients who need that "right help".

With many years of experience and in working with clients who have suffered trauma in their lives and who are currently carrying that burden, Hope Counselling is for you and can help.

The majority of the counselling sessions offered are either over Teams, Zoom or the telephone. We can also do some work via text if you would like. We have the facility to see some clients face to face, if you live close by. However......Hope is nationwide, as that is the beauty of remote working using digital platforms such as Microsoft Teams.

Individual counselling at Hope Counselling offers a personalised approach to understanding your thoughts and emotions. I provide a safe space for you to explore your innermost feelings, enabling you to gain insights into your experiences. Together, we will work through specific challenges, develop coping strategies, and enhance your emotional resilience. Each session is designed to empower you and assist in realising your potential for growth and change.

If you are struggling with anxiety or depression, you are not alone. Hope Counselling provides compassionate support tailored specifically for you. I work with you to explore the underlying causes of your feelings.

In today's busy world, online counselling offers flexibility and convenience. At Hope Counselling, I provide secure and confidential online therapy sessions, ensuring that you have access to support from the comfort of your own home. This option is particularly beneficial for those with busy schedules or mobility issues. Our sessions will focus on your needs and goals, maintaining the same level of professional care as face-to-face appointments. 

In therapy we work together. I am led by you, and you advise me how you would like to work.  This is where we start. As you continue with therapy you may find that you want to work in a different way, or try a different approach. We can change and modify how we work to suit you.

I work in a flexibly to try and suit the needs of supervisees. However I do not work weekends or bank holidays.

I have been a qualified supervisor for many years, and have delivered clinical supervision in both 1:1 and group setting. This is to qualified therapists and students.

My approach is supportive, and educational. I would not in anyway describe myself as a critical supervisor (as I believe that gets everyone - precisely no where!) but I am experiential, collaborative and holistic. I will talk issues, cases and lessons learned through with you. 

Supervision is catharsis for you, as well as a wonderful learning tool.  I would like you to come away from you supervision session feeling:

Restored

Equipped

Resourced

Encouraged

Confident

 Positive
