Just finished an amazing course on working therapeutically with autism! 🤩
It was so valuable and eye opening and I cannot wait to integrate the further knowledge I have gained, into my practice ❤️

I can hardly believe it’s been 7 years since I started up my private practice! Still going strong, still super busy 🤪 and still loving my job 🥰

Thanks for all the support on here and any recommendations anyone ever makes to me - I’m very grateful 🙏🏻☺️

Please remember this is today at 3pm. For some women in abusive relationships, a hidden phone can be a lifeline. You can turn off the notification on an iphone by going into settings>notifications>scroll to the very bottom>switch off extreme and/or severe alerts
Android: search your settings for emergency alerts>turn off extreme/severe alerts

🚨 Nationwide Emergency Alert Test🚨

This Sunday 7th September 3pm.

The UK’s new emergency alert system will send a loud siren, message, and vibration to every compatible phone even on silent. Survivors of abuse with hidden phones could be put at risk if the device is discovered.

You can opt out in your phone’s settings to protect your safety.
✅ iPhone: Search “Emergency Alerts” in settings → Turn off Severe & Emergency alerts
✅ Android: Search “Emergency Alerts” in settings → Turn off Severe & Emergency alerts (and other threat categories if listed)

I did it!! 🥳 It has been a tough 6 months trying to juggle all that I needed to do - coursework, assignments and supervision hours, but I’m proud to say I’ve done it! Looking forward to adding this new skill to my practice 🤩

If you’re looking for a top up to your current supervision or an opportunity to start a new journey together, please get in touch.

This has been my Saturday! Starting the exciting journey of training to be a Clinical Supervisor! I’ve wanted to do this for years but now finally seems like the right time. I was super nervous before I started and was aware of all that negative self-talk about whether I could do it or not, but I know how much learning can come from stepping outside your comfort zone, and so, on I went! Now I’m just looking forward to more learning over the next few months 😊📚

When did you last step outside your comfort zone and how did it feel?

I am so guilty of thinking I should have done more with my year when in fact, when I truly take time to reflect, there have been glimmers of beautiful progress all along ❤️
Thank you for the reminder 🥰

How many of these do you relate to?! A couple for me 🙋🏼‍♀️ What do we really mean when we constantly say we’re tired? Could be worth some reflection today ☺️

Some really useful tips here from 🙏🏻

It’s never easy to have difficult conversations. You don’t have to be an expert. Just someone who is willing to listen openly, without judgement ❤️

Olive Tree Counselling

My name is Karen Schumann and I run Olive Tree Counselling, which is a private practice based in Stotfold. I have my own room at home which is private, safe and comfortable. I am a fully qualified Person-Centred Counsellor and a Registered Member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy).

Thank you for coming to my page and for thinking about the possibility of starting Counselling. This is not an easy decision to make and can feel quite daunting. Taking that first step isn’t easy, which is why I’ve tried to include as much helpful information here, and on my website as possible. It is also why I offer a free 30 minute first initial session, so that you may come along, find out some more information and maybe ease some of the anxiety about counselling. On my website, you will find information about the type of approach I use, what that is and what to expect from your first session. Please visit - www.olivetreecounselling.com

The Person-Centred approach can be used with adults and young people to work with most issues. Some of the things I have worked with include - depression, bereavement, loss, anxiety, relationships issues, self-esteem, self-harm, birth trauma, domestic and sexual abuse and many more. In our sessions you will receive empathy and kindness in a safe, warm, non-judgemental space. Together we will explore your thoughts and feelings to help you gain self-awareness and to help support you in moving forward.

Life can be so tough at times and it can be helpful to talk to someone outside of your family and to have time just for you. Sometimes being heard can bring such relief.
