Dr Karel Himawan, M.Psi.

Licensed Clinical Psychologist

“Licensed clinical psychologist with experience of working with individuals dealing with various life adjustment issues, incl. romantic relat”

About Me

I offer a grounded space for individuals facing life's shifts and relationship complexities. We can explore the patterns that emerge, helping you navigate challenges with greater clarity. I have completed Level 1 and Level 2 of Gottman Method of Couple Therapy. My aim is to support you in making sense of difficult experiences. This can help you find practical ways forward. If you're seeking to understand yourself better amidst change or improve your connections, I am here to help.

Approach

Helping people through transitions and relationship strain, I attend to how small shifts in routine, thinking and interaction reshape daily life and options. Sessions in Jakarta or online, in English or Malay-Indonesian, move at a pace you set and adapt for adolescents, adults or couples. We track patterns together, use concise assessment to clarify strengths and blind spots, and try modest experiments between meetings so insights become practical steps. This way often suits those wanting steady, clear support while making changes or rebuilding connections.
