Karena Jowsey delivers counseling using a trauma-informed stance alongside a person centred approach. In her trauma-informed work she pays attention to histories of harm and strives to avoid re-traumatizing interactions, while in person centred sessions she emphasizes listening, respect, and collaboration so that each person’s values and goals guide the process.Sessions are adapted to what the individual wants to focus on, whether that is managing symptoms of stress or anxiety, addressing past abuse or trauma, building self esteem, or working through life transitions. She aims to co-create a plan with the person that aligns with their pace and priorities.
