“I had strong issues relating to bereavement and loss.”
“I had strong issues relating to loss primarily and self (secondarily). I found an environment that was non-threatening, open, receptive, positive and personally challenging (the latter a very good thing for me). Karin was a catalyst for resolution of issues and an increased feeling of self-worth. The experience has been literally transforming.”

“You have sympathised when I never believed I deserved to or even be allowed to feel this way.”
“Here are a few genuine words of what a difference having your counselling and support has made in my life. When I came to you I was feeling very low, very negative and very close to giving up - my attitude was; if I was going to be kicked down so many times then I may as well stay down there.
Through a year of weekly sessions, with a combination of sympathy, guidance, understanding, reasoning, help and companionship, a complete change of my views, my attitude and my life have occured. You have helped me to find strength to understand others and their actions, and also to accept me and my actions. You have sympathised when I never believed I deserved to or even be allowed to feel this way. You helped me understand why I had come to this point in my life. And the best help of all was that you showed me that accepting things can help me move on, and progress.
I am very fortunate to have had you Karin as my counsellor. You have been a very special part of my life. I won't forget what an impact you have been in my life and beyond, as it has turned out to have had a domino effect on people around me as well. How you did all of this I truly don't know, but it feels amazing. And leaving the weekly sessions behind I thought would be tough or even scary, but I am fortunate enough to say it isn't as tough as I thought. But what is tough is that I will miss you as person, a friend, an amazing lady..”

“Karin remembers what I’ve told her weeks before.”
“I would recommend Karin as a counsellor. I have been seeing her for about six months and have found her to be a very good listener and someone who is willing to challenge my negative thinking. She remembers what I’ve told her weeks before and has been able to make links for me, so I can understand myself better.
I have found the experience helpful and it gave me a safe space in which to talk about my thoughts and feelings. I achieved a lot form the experience; Karin helped me to challenge my negative thinking. Karin was supportive but also challenging and questioning, which helped me to think about how I can challenge myself.”

“Karin uses her sense of humor in her work.”
“Karin is an ethical and professional individual. In my experience she demonstrates a high level of insight, and a keen emotional intelligence. She consistently demonstrates a good grasp of theoretical concepts and is always eager to learn more and develop her self-awareness. Finally she approaches challenges with focus and humor.”
Supervisor, Coach and Therapist. Worked with Karin Peeters for two years.
“Her calming nature along with her heart-felt qualities allow a real sense of healing to take place.”
“Karin is an excellent coach, counsellor and psychotherapist. She is compassionate, kind and really gets to the heart of her clients' issues. Karin allows people space and is able to create a safe environment, so clients feel they have the room to explore deeper levels of themselves within a trusting and warm relationship.
Karin offers the whole of herself to the client's process - without directing the sessions she is able to allow the unknown to unfold and then offer amazing insight which can reveal clarity for the client. Her calming nature along with her heart-felt qualities help clients to feel really seen and held, allowing a real sense of healing in her presence.”

“Thank you for walking with me for a while along life’s road.”
“Thank you Karin for being empathic, non-judgemental and caring. And for walking with me for a while along life’s road. You are an understanding and patient person.”

“I have found myself becoming a loving partner.”
“Karin Peeters' strength, integrity and gentleness provided a consistent safe place to become aware of my resilience, self-belief and strengths to counter my perceived fears, shame and vulnerability. I have found myself consistently growing and challenging my potential, and also becoming a dependable and loving partner. I am so grateful to have had this opportunity for developing a long term therapist-client relationship. Thank you, I feel much better.”
