Counselling & Psychotherapy
in Woodthorpe, Nottingham with Karen Hubbard

Feature image

My qualifications are as follows;


  • Masters Degree in Integrative Psychotherapy.

  • Diploma in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy.

  • Degree in Psychology.

    My training has been based on an ' integrative approach' which was five years in duration and has included many years of my own personal psychotherapy. The integrative approach that I have trained in allows me to draw from a wide range of different perspectives to inform my practice and blend them based on core principles. These are the belief that relationships are what motivate us as human beings and are what give us meaning in our lives. I therefore place a great importance on the therapy relationship as a key facilitator of change and healing. I also believe in the importance of our early history and how our early relationships with caregivers have shaped us and who we are in the present. The theoretical content from my training holds within it, contributions from person centred therapy, object relations theory, attachment theory, self psychology and transactional analysis. These different approaches offer us some insight into the factors that have shaped our development and what is needed to promote growth and change.

    Continued Professional Development

    I am committed to ongoing training and professional development and attend seminars, workshops and additional trainings , which help me to broaden my knowledge and skills enabling me to work with a wider range of clients' difficulties. Some of the recent trainings I have been on include: The neuroscience of therapeutic attachment and Catalysing brain change: Transforming adversity into Learning and Growth with Linda Graham; Working with Insecure and Disorganised Attachment with Professor Jeremy Homes; Making trauma therapy safer with Babette Rothschild.

    Other Relevant Experience

    As well as being a self employed therapist working full time in private practice, I have previously worked with children and young people aged between 16-19 as a Student Counsellor. I am experienced working with the variety of issues that young people face. I have delivered workshops and training to staff and externally on a variety of topics i.e. Self harm and Young People; Struggling with Eating difficulties, Engaging with therapy, to help support other staff in their role.
