Hello
My name is Dr Karen Barr. I am a registered clinical psychologist; a member of the Association of Clinical Psychologists (ACP) and founder of Solace Psychology.
Did you know that clinical psychologist is a 'protected title'? Only registered therapists who have undergone specific and extensive training and who currently meet the standards set by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) are legally allowed to use this title. This is to protect the general public, which means you can be assured that your psychologist meets a high threshold for education, training and practice.
I have completed extensive training in psychology, including a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology and additional post-graduate training in cognitive-behavioural therapy, as well as numerous additional therapy training courses.
You can find me on the HCPC Register here (PYL29364)
A Little Bit About Me
I have worked in mental health for over 20 years, in a wide range of settings and with a broad client group, including children, young people and adults. It has been and continues to be a privilege for me to work as a clinical psychologist and to empower people with the tools, skills and insight that help them reach their goals and live more meaningful and fulfilling lives.
My approach integrates a range of evidence-based third-wave therapies, mindfulness-based and solution-focused approaches. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process, where a warm, non-judgmental and supportive environment allows for personal growth and healing.
I am committed to providing a therapeutic space where you can feel heard, valued and understood.
