Helping parents and children to build stronger connections and create positive changes

Hello and welcome! My name is Karen Joy Lever and I am a child and adolescent psychotherapist and family counsellor working with children and their families.

I am UKCP accredited and work in various settings, including schools and online with parents and families.

Sometimes a child experiences overwhelming emotions that they and those around them struggle to understand. These feelings may be expressed through their behaviour which can be challenging for families and schools, as well as upsetting for the child. This can have a negative impact on learning and development and affects well-being and relationships.

My work centres on providing safe spaces for children to understand their feelings and communicate more effectively.

I support parents to gain insights and strategies to nurture their connection with their children, building resilience for the whole family. I also offer whole family counselling online. A space to help family members of any age and at any stage improve communication, resolve conflicts and strengthen their relationships.
