Karen Greenhow, Psychotherapy and Wellbeing

Karen Greenhow, Psychotherapy and Wellbeing Psychotherapist specialising in trauma, a clinical supervisor, and a wellbeing expert. My approach is compassionate, client-centered, and trauma-informed.

I offer face to face sessions in Barrow-in-Furness and also online so we can work together wherever you are 💫 I am a qualified and experienced Psychotherapist specializing in Trauma, a Clinical Supervisor, and a Wellbeing Expert. I graduated from the University of Cumbria in 2014 with a BA (Hons) in Person-Centred Therapy. My passion for understanding the emotional and physical impact of trauma led me to complete Babette Rothschild’s Certificate in Somatic Trauma Therapy in 2016. I continue to engage in professional development to stay up to date with the latest approaches in therapy and wellbeing. I believe that healing happens in a safe and supportive space where you can explore your experiences at your own pace. I work with adults experiencing trauma, anxiety, stress, and emotional difficulties. I also offer supervision for therapists/professionals and wellbeing support for individuals and professionals. I have always been passionate about helping people feel safe in themselves and their bodies. My work is deeply rooted in the belief that everyone deserves to feel at home within themselves.

Lately I’ve been reminded that my work isn’t about fixing anyone. It’s about presence, creating space where people feel safe enough to be and where change and growth happens gently in its own time. 💚

✨ ✨✨ Magic Kingdom & the Inner Child ✨

Today at Disney, I was reminded of something I often return to in therapy…

Our inner child never disappears.

The part of us that once felt wonder, excitement, hope…
but also the part that may have felt unseen, overwhelmed, or needing comfort.

Places like this can stir something deep — not just joy, but a remembering.

In therapy, inner child work is about reconnecting with those younger parts of ourselves with kindness, curiosity, and care.
It’s about asking:

What did I need back then?
What do I still need now?
How can I offer myself safety, gentleness, and play?

Healing doesn’t always look serious.

Sometimes healing looks like laughter, colour, music… and letting yourself feel small moments of magic again.

Your inner child deserves space in your life — not just your past. 💛

✨ I’ve just written a new blog about navigating life transitions — those times when roles change through work, bereavement, relationships, or simply a new stage of life, and it can leave us feeling unsure of our place or purpose.

If this resonates with you, you’re very welcome to have a read here 💛

If you’re finding a current change in your life difficult to navigate, therapy can offer a supportive space to reflect, process, and reconnect with what matters most 🤍

Life is full of change. Sometimes these changes are planned and sometimes they arrive unexpectedly. A new job, a bereavement, the end of a relationship,

2016 vs 2026

Heard we’re feeling nostalgic?

Didn’t mean to bring down the tone! 🥹 But truly things have got so much worse since 2016 in young people’s mental health.

If you want to find out more about these figures, what’s causing them and what we can do to make things better, it’s all in our Big Mental Health Report.

I really enjoyed attending the first Counsellor Coffee & Chat this morning ☕

It was lovely to connect with other counsellors, share thoughtful conversation, and spend time with people who truly understand the work we do.

So much of our work happens in quiet rooms, often in isolation, holding space for others while carrying very little of our own into shared spaces.

Being able to sit together, talk openly, and feel understood by peers felt genuinely nourishing and reminded me how important connection is for those of us who work alone.

Out walking today and spotted a perfect little heart on a tree 🌳❤️

It made me slow down, reflect and smile.

Nature has a way of offering quiet little moments when you least expect them.

What small or lovely things have you noticed when you’ve been out walking?”

03/01/2026

Due to a recent bereavement, I will be closed until the end of January/beginning of February to allow time for healing and to be with family.

I appreciate your understanding and support during this difficult time and will be back to serve you soon.

Thank you for your patience.
