Karen Harris

I have a particular interest in trauma and perinatal wellbeing. I completed my Bachelor of Psychological Science and Honours (First Class) at Swinburne University, before going on to complete my Master of Professional Psychology at Bond University. I use an integrative approach, drawing on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), psychodynamic approaches, Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT), and schema therapy. Every person’s story is unique, so I tailor my approach to meet each individual’s needs, working closely with clients to create a safe and supportive space where they feel heard and understood.

Originally from London, I moved to Australia over 20 years ago. My own journey, including overcoming cancer, has shaped the way I work. I understand first-hand the emotional impact that serious illness and major life change can bring, and this experience shapes the compassion and honesty I bring into the therapy room.
