About Karen Swinton<\/h2>\n

Karen Swinton is a Registered Psychologist with over 30 years of expertise in assessing and treating adults aged 18 and older. Using a collaborative, non-judgmental, and empowering approach, Karen believes in working collaboratively with her clients, establishing a safe and supportive environment where they can openly discuss their concerns and develop effective coping mechanisms to navigate challenges in their lives.<\/p>\n

Therapeutic Approach<\/h2>\n

Karen Swinton’s therapeutic approach combines two evidence-based therapies: Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). CBT focuses on identifying and challenging negative thought patterns and behaviors, while ACT encourages individuals to accept their thoughts and feelings without judgment and commit to actions aligned with their values. By integrating these approaches, Karen provides a comprehensive framework to individuals aged 18 years and over with a wide range of presenting concerns, including but not limited to the following:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Depression<\/li>\n
  • Anxiety<\/li>\n
  • Panic Disorder<\/li>\n
  • Social Anxiety<\/li>\n
  • Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder<\/li>\n
  • Adjustment Disorder<\/li>\n
  • Low self-esteem<\/li>\n
  • Grief and loss<\/li>\n
  • Interpersonal conflict<\/li>\n
  • Stress<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      <\/ul>\n
