Karen Balfour Counselling and Supervision

Hi, my name is Karen and I'm a BACP registered member, qualified counsellor and supervisor predominantly practicing over the last sixteen years with young people.

I am self-employed and have developed a confidential person-centred counselling service for West Lothian Council, East Lothian Council and the City of Edinburgh Council for young people aged fifteen+. I have extensive experience working with ages from eleven years upwards both within statutory and non-statutory services. I also work privately with individuals, student counsellors and supervisees.

I adhere to the BACP Ethical Framework for Good Practice in Counselling and Psychotherapy which means I receive regular, monthly supervision sessions for both my client and supervisee work. My client's names are not used.
You can find out more on the Code of Ethics: BACP Ethical Framework for Good Practice at (http://www.bacp.co.uk/ethical_framework).
Also their Complaints Procedure: BACP Professional Conduct Procedure at (http://www.bacp.co.uk/prof_conduct/).

Sessions are offered via Zoom, by telephone or face to face at my studio in Edinburgh (details on request)
