Hi, I'm Karen

I'm a qualified Person Centred Counsellor, EMDR Therapist, and trainee ADHD Coach with over 25 years of experience as a mental health nurse.

I created Selphie because I saw too many people struggling without the right support — especially women navigating ADHD traits later in life, often alongside anxiety, burnout, or trauma. I wanted to offer something different: a space that's genuinely safe, professionally held, and paced around you.

My approach is trauma-informed and neuro-affirmative. That means I work with your nervous system, not against it. Whether we're using counselling, EMDR, coaching, or creative wellbeing, the focus is always on what actually helps in your day-to-day life.

I combine clinical knowledge with real-world understanding. I know what it's like to support neurodiverse young adults, to juggle responsibilities, and to need someone who simply gets it without you having to explain everything perfectly.

Sessions are available in Yorkshire and online. There's no pressure, no rush — just a clear starting point whenever you're ready.
