Karen Andrews-Roberts

Hi I'm Karen

I’m a Integrative Psychotherapist and adult adoptee specialising in Adoption Specific Trauma Recovery, creating a safe, nurturing sanctuary for women to heal, regulate and reconnect with their authentic selves. My work is grounded in compassion and best-practice therapeutic principles, and it’s also deeply intuitive. I blend Clinical Hypnotherapy, Regression Hypnosis, EFT Tapping, Holistic Counselling, Life Coaching, Meditation & Mindfulness, and Reiki to support deep emotional healing and lasting transformation.

My philosophy

Healing isn’t a project to fix you, it’s a gentle remembering of who you already are. The aim is not only to release pain, grief and trauma, but to expand joy. Together, we soften the imprints held in the mind and body, rewire patterns with care, and invite forward the light, clarity and freedom that are already within you.

Lived experience matters

I was adopted at six weeks old. That lived experience has shaped my heart, my lens and my work. I understand, intimately, the layered complexities of adoption – grief and longing, identity and belonging, sovereignty and safety. I hold space for adult adoptees with tenderness and respect. Here, adoption is honoured not as a single moment, but as an evolving emotional journey across a lifetime.

A holistic therapeutic framework

My approach is mind-body-spirit-relational. Emotional pain and identity fragmentation cannot be fully understood – or healed – in isolation. We attend to your nervous system, your beliefs, your relationships, your energy, your soul. We move gently and collaboratively, weaving evidence-based care with intuitive awareness in service of your wholeness.

28+ years of study and practice

I bring nearly three decades of clinical, spiritual and somatic healing experience, continually refining my craft so you feel held by both skill and heart.

What clients often say

That they feel safe, seen and understood. That the space is warm, non-judgmental and deeply respectful. That the work is gentle and powerful at once, grounded in science, open to spirit, and that it helps them feel like themselves again.

To change the way I’ve felt and lived

"I have worked with the beautiful Karen Andrews - Roberts for the last 12 years and most intensely over the last 12 months. I have wanted, in many ways, to change the way I’ve felt and lived and experienced life – particularly in the context of traumatic family issues, my own longing to break free of those issues, and most of all my longing to successfully write and publish books."

To release and reprogram many old patterns

“Through Karen’s gentle, inspiring and magical touch, I have been able to release and reprogram many old patterns that were holding me back and move forward in the direction of my dreams."

Karen is truly an angel

“I feel beyond blessed and recommend Karen‘s wonderful work to anyone seeking a magical, mystical form of healing, a hunger to release the past, and the desire to create a new life of their dreams. Karen is truly an angel and we are so lucky to have her in our midst."

Your invitation to heal

If you’re ready to release what weighs you down and step into a more joyful, regulated and authentic way of being, I’d be honoured to walk with you.
