Karin Jordan
Karin is a professionally trained and qualified Counsellor, with a Masters in Mental Health from Trinity College, specialising in Adolesent and Family therapy. She also has a BA (Hons) degree in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy. She founded Chuala Counselling in 2011 and is a member of the Irish Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (IACP).
Karin has worked extensively with women dealing with postnatal depression and maternal mental health issues over the past eight years. She has a keen interest in adolesent mental health and works as a counsellor in two secondary schools.
Karin's style of counselling has its roots in the Humanistic approach with an integrative use of other styles such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). It is mostly non directive and very much based on the well known and highly regarded theories of Carl Rogers. The humanistic approach forms the basis of Karins work with clients. There is emphasis on the relationship between client and counsellor where the client feels safe and accepted, it is only then that transformative change can happen. Carl Rogers believed that optimal therapy could only take place if there was no "physician expecting to diagnose and cure, but as a person to a person."
