Google Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"Karin is great with the youth in terms of understanding them and helping them with practicalities. Highly recommend working with her!"
~ Sara (16 yo)
"Karin is awesome. Very down to earth and easy to chat to. I can’t recommend highly enough."
~ Daniel Benhaim
"I had the absolute pleasure of working with my counsellor Karin, who provided Walk and Talk sessions for myself. I can't say enough good things about her services. Our sessions included walking and talking along the beach at sunset. It was such a calm, natural setting and so much more comfortable than sitting in a room or office.
She was incredible, warm, friendly, and completely non-judgmental, yet always professional and focused. Her approach made it easy to open up and talk freely. She shared excellent mental health techniques and coping strategies that I still use today.
Not only did she support me personally, but she also offered valuable advice and guidance regarding my 15-year-old daughter. She helped connect us with community access and support services and recommended fantastic parenting courses for us to attend.
These were by far the most effective and meaningful counselling sessions I’ve had to date. I’m truly grateful for her compassion and insight, I always felt supported and understood. She truly made a difference in my life, and I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, professional, and caring counsellor."
