Counsellor: Kareen Fellows B.Soc.Sc (Counselling / Psychology / Sociology)

Hi, I’m Kareen Fellows. My approach is warm, thoughtful, collaborative, and down-to-earth, with a focus on helping people feel more grounded, understood, and connected — both to themselves and to others.

Therapeutic Approach

I have a special interest in relationships and have supported many couples in strengthening trust, improving communication, and building more respectful, loving connections. My work is informed by my training through The Gottman Institute, Relational Life Therapy, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), and mindfulness-based approaches, which I integrate to support emotional regulation, communication, and deeper connection.

Lived Experience

My work is also enriched by lived experience. I have been married for 38 years and am a mother, stepmother, and grandparent. These roles have deepened my understanding of relationships across different life stages and transitions.

Prior to counselling, I worked in hairdressing, and owned and managed salons in Sydney. These experiences fostered a long-standing interest in people, communication, and wellbeing.

Outside the Office

Outside the counselling room, I am a yoga practitioner and enjoy dancing Argentine Tango with my partner. I have also held many groups for The Artist's Way - a 12 week course to develop your creative side or to simply live a fuller life. These practices reflect my appreciation of presence, connection, and embodied awareness.

I value kindness, gratitude, and deep listening — qualities I believe support meaningful change in both life and relationships.

"Words of kindness are more healing to a drooping heart than balm or honey."

Little changes bring you to a different place.

What Working Together Looks Like

The process is supportive, and tailored to your needs. I'll also provide you with handouts and suggested videos to watch after the session.

1. Reach Out

Give me a call to arrange an appointment. I'll ask for your email address and I'll send you through my practice information, and a client intake form to fill out and return. Payment is due when booking the session and I have a 24 hour cancellation policy.

2. First Session

The first session I'll ask you to share what's bringing you to counselling. We'll identify what support would feel most helpful, and we'll begin the counselling process.

3. Ongoing Sessions

Sessions are shaped around your needs, and your counselling goals.
