Karolin Susan, MSc

Counselling Psychologist

Verified

“I see my role as a steady scaffold, offering a space of containment where emotions, thoughts, and disruptions can move through freely. What emerges here is met with compassion, curiosity, and a willingness to stay and explore. ”

About me

My work has consistently been with people, across the social sector, education, and psychotherapy, in spaces shaped by vulnerability, transition, or systems that don’t always hold them well. Over time, I’ve come to understand my role as a bridge, between people and complex systems, & between people and themselves.

Approach

My approach to therapy is grounded in psychoanalysis, and I am currently training within this framework. I was previously trained in Narrative Therapy, which continues to inform how I understand people and their stories. I place greater emphasis on the therapeutic process rather than quick solutions. Therapy with me is a space for self-exploration, where patterns, emotions, and relationships can be understood more deeply over time. In this process, a quiet return of hope begins to take root, where the very places that once brought pain can become pathways toward feeling whole, rather than estranged from yourself. When helpful, I integrate more structured and practical insights, including ways of understanding how the brain respond to stress, emotion, and experience.
