Karen Blumenfeld, BA Hons, Certified Transactional Analyst, UKCP reg Psychotherapist

I am a fully qualified and experienced psychotherapist and counsellor working in private practice with adult individuals, couples and older teenagers. Additionally, I have worked as a GP counsellor in a busy, medical centre.    

Before training as a psychotherapist,
I enjoyed a successful career in broadcasting mainly making social documentaries.  I understand from the ‘inside out’ the stress that arises from combining modern working and domestic life often bringing with the associated symptoms of depression, anxiety, panic etc which can be ‘triggers’ for deeper and older traumas or conflicts.

In addition to a core training in Transactional Analysis psychotherapy, I have had further training in many specific areas:

*Post traumatic stress disorder    *working with couples   *working with adolescents     *grief and loss     *managing anger and distressing mood swings     *brief and time-limited therapy       *lifting depression

I am a member of the Institute of Transactional Analysis and abide by their code of ethics and conduct and receive regular supervision for my practice.
