Sabbatical

A long cherished wish led her on an inner path of self discovery through the mountains and valleys of India and Nepal, via meditation retreats, intense yoga and visualisation exercises, training in Reiki and in depth philosophy courses in the Buddhist Art of Living. This one year journey changed the way she looks at life, our potential for growth, the reasons behind human suffering and the fulfilment after opening our hearts.

Her unique approach to coaching is, depending on the wishes of you as her client, influenced by this way of looking at the world.

Transpersonal Counselling and Psychotherapy Training

Her continuous drive for learning led her towards a five year MA in Transpersonal Counselling and Psychotherapy. Karin is now a Counselling and Psychotherapy Trainee with an accredited member of the BACP and UKCP (CCPE in London). Transpersonal philosophies guide us towards dealing with the purpose of our issues, combined with working with the cause and its solution. Personal problems and difficult times are seen to have a useful purpose in that they indicate the way for us to change, grow and unfold.

And besides coaching...

She enjoys visiting events, lectures and network meetings to share with colleagues in the coaching profession.

Being in nature, travelling, reading books, drinking herbal tea or wine and sharing thoughts and feelings with others are a few of the things she truly loves.

Karin is looking forward to listening to you, and to explore your unique path towards growth and happiness.
