Karen Nickelson Social Worker

Making changes in one's life means taking a courageous first step. Sometimes we can see the direction we need to travel and with some guidance the path is easy. However, often, this first small step can feel more like a giant leap. Regardless, I create a safe space for my clients where growth happens through a shared understanding and trust. I bring invaluable life experience to this profession, and I am passionate about supporting clients at all stages of life. My special interest areas are grief and loss, supporting carers, palliative care and end-of-life, as well as life transitions generally, but I am experienced in working with both adults and children. You will find me to be a kind, compassionate and empathetic counsellor. I value honesty which I believe creates a safe space free from the need to worry about being judged. It is my privilege to be part of my clients' journeys for whatever duration they choose.
