Karin Usher

Karin (she/her) holds a Diploma in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy and is a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

Karin is an Integrative Psychotherapist and Rewind Technique Practitioner specialising in guiding individuals through trauma and PTSD recovery. The Rewind Technique is a specific treatment technique for one aspect of trauma related problems i.e. flashbacks, and is used by Karin in the context of a comprehensive, trauma-informed counselling approach. Her expertise also encompasses support for anxiety, depression, suicidality, and other life struggles.

Drawing from evidence-based theories and techniques, she tailors her approach to meet each client's unique needs. Her practice seamlessly integrates elements of person-centred therapy, neuroscience, polyvagal theory, mindfulness, cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), Gestalt, rewind and somatic techniques.

Central to her therapeutic philosophy is the belief in collaboration. Through a compassionate and non-judgmental space, Karin guides clients in exploring underlying issues, addressing fears, and co-creating personalised techniques for growth and healing.

She offers a free 15-minute consultation over the phone or online, where prospective clients can discuss their needs and ask any questions. After that, regular sessions can be online or face-to-face. Karin speaks English and Portuguese fluently so sessions can be held in either language.

Finding the right support is crucial, and Karin believes she can be that support for you. Contact her for more information or book an initial consultation.
