About

Karen Whitfield is a counsellor registered with the Australian Counselling Association (ACA) at Level 3 who holds a Master of Counselling. The ACA is the national professional association for counsellors in Australia and Level 3 indicates an advanced registration tier. Her Master of Counselling is a postgraduate qualification in therapeutic practice that underpins her clinical work.

She specialises in Narrative Therapy, a respectful, non-blaming approach that positions people as the experts in their own lives. This model separates problems from the person and assumes individuals already possess many of the skills, values, commitments and abilities needed to reduce the influence of difficulties. Karen draws on this perspective when supporting people through stress, anxiety, addictions, career difficulties, grief and loss, depression and other life changes.

In sessions Karen aims to foster an open, nonjudgmental atmosphere where thoughts and feelings can be explored safely. Her practice emphasises collaboration and empowerment, helping clients identify strengths and practical steps for coping and forward movement.

Could Remote Therapy Be a Good Fit?

Many people wonder whether online therapy can make a real difference. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions for many people.

One major benefit is flexibility. Clients can connect with therapists in the format that best suits their needs - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or in-app messaging - which can make it easier to integrate therapy into a busy life.

Licensed professionals offer a range of therapeutic approaches via remote sessions, and clients have the option to change therapists if they need a different fit. For those weighing options, remote therapy can provide accessible, practical support from qualified therapists while accommodating varied schedules and preferences.
