About

About Me

Thank you for taking a look at my page. If you think you may need counselling, you are not alone and you have made the first step already. At times we are all faced with confusing or difficult situations, feelings of dissatisfaction, anxiety, stress or depression, painful losses, bereavement or trauma, difficult decisions or the need for change. I can help you to explore your difficulties and provide you with a safe environment and support you on your journey for answers.

Everyone has the capacity to cope with crisis, resolve problems, develop personal insight and make choices, but having support and encouragement when the going gets tough can make a huge difference.

I will offer you a safe and supportive space that is confidential, where you can talk about what you are experiencing and how you are feeling. I will help you to identify what choices you have, supporting you through the changes that you may want to make. My premises are in a discreet residential area of Mayland and ExploringUcounselling premises in Sudbury

Training, qualifications & experience

I am a fully qualified Counsellor, Supervisor, Trainer and an accredited member of BACP. I trained as a counsellor at Anglia Ruskin University on a BSc (Hons) Degree course in Integral counselling, covering all the main theoretical models. I do not use any one particular model as each client is individual and therefore I work with a client based on their particular needs.

I work with individuals, couples, families and groups depending on the need of the client group. I am a specialist in bereavement and loss of any kind including loss of pets, career, lifestyle. Loss comes in many forms and I am here to support you through this time.

I am a relate trained counsellor specialising in working with couples in times of need.

I offer Creative Therapy for clients that find it difficult to put into words what they are experiencing and creative working can enable clients to achieve the same results as pure talking therapy.

I am a qualified supervisor and provide supervision and personal therapy for qualified counsellors, trainees and other healthcare professionals, individually or as a group.

I am also a qualified trainer/ tutor and provide various different training models to include Counselling, Supervision, Bereavement and Creative therapy for professionals and individuals wishing to develop as a person, enabling them to have a better self awareness whilst being able to communicate with people on a deeper level.

About

Karen Ball welcomes visitors and recognizes that deciding to seek counselling is an important first step. She supports people facing confusing or difficult situations – including anxiety, stress, depression, painful losses, bereavement, trauma, difficult decisions and the need for change – and provides a calm, supportive space to explore those experiences.

Karen believes everyone has the capacity to cope with crisis, resolve problems, develop personal insight and make choices, and that support and encouragement can make a real difference when things are hard. She offers a confidential, supportive environment where clients can talk about what they are experiencing and consider the options available to them as they work through change.

She works with individuals, couples, families and groups according to need, and is a specialist in bereavement and loss of any kind – including loss of pets, career or lifestyle. She is also a Relate-trained counsellor who specialises in supporting couples at times of difficulty.

Karen is a fully qualified counsellor, supervisor and trainer, and is an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She trained at Anglia Ruskin University, completing a BSc (Hons) degree course in Integral Counselling that covered the main theoretical models. Rather than relying on a single approach, she tailors her work to each person and their particular needs.

She offers Creative Therapy for clients who find it hard to put their experience into words, using creative methods to achieve outcomes similar to talking therapy. As a qualified supervisor she provides supervision and personal therapy for qualified counsellors, trainees and other healthcare professionals, working individually or with groups. As a trainer and tutor she delivers programmes in counselling, supervision, bereavement and creative therapy to professionals and individuals seeking greater self-awareness and improved communication skills.

Her practice is based in a discreet residential area of Mayland and at the ExploringUcounselling premises in Sudbury.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Many people ask whether remote therapy can really help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties or adapting to life changes, online therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional in-person sessions for most people. A major benefit is flexibility – clients can connect in the way that suits them best, whether by video call, phone session, live chat or in-app messaging. This makes it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. All therapists are licensed professionals, and clients are free to change therapists at any time if they need a different fit. Online work offers a practical and accessible way to address everyday mental health and relationship concerns without losing the core therapeutic support provided by trained therapists.
