Helping families 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 a Family Counsellor.

I am UKCP accredited and work in various settings including in schools and online.

My approach is warm, curious and open. I work with children, parents and adults to understand what’s happening beneath the surface and to foster healthier, more meaningful relationships.

Families often come to counselling when something in their relationships feels stuck or more difficult than it needs to be. Sometimes it’s communication that has become strained or patterns that keep repeating. Life changes - separation, blended families, estrangement, loss or stress can also be factors. Many families want to feel closer, understand eachother better and create more ease at home. Counselling offers a reflective, supportive space to explore these dynamics together and move toward healthier, more connected ways of relating.

In my work with children I offer creative and therapeutic play, helping them express feelings that can be hard to put into words. I also work extensively with parents and adults offering thoughtful spaces to explore patterns, relationships and family dynamics.

Whether I’m meeting a child, a parent, or an entire family, my intention is always the same: to help people feel heard, supported, more at ease with eachother and to create safe spaces to resolve conflicts and move towards better understanding and peace.

I look forward to hearing from you.
