Hello
Everyone has the innate potential to shift their mindset, overcome negative cycles and achieve personal growth.
I’m Karin, an integrative psychotherapist and supervisor, group facilitator and founder of The MindShift Therapist. A Black British woman based in South London. A practising Christian with a passion for helping others find their inner strength and inner voice. My work is faith-integrated but inclusive. Clients are never expected to share my beliefs, and all backgrounds, identities, and experiences are welcomed and respected. I work with adults and families who feel stuck in anxious patterns, emotional overwhelm, or cycles that no longer feel manageable.
I’m particularly drawn to working with patterns — the repeated thoughts, behaviours, and emotional responses that can quietly shape how we experience ourselves and our lives. My work focuses on helping people understand these cycles and develop new, more supportive ways of responding.
Clients describe my style as grounded, thoughtful, and practical. My aim is to create an empowering space for you to embrace your unique journey without judgement.
I am BACP accredited, recognised by a number of UK health insurers and work with a range of EAPs.
My practice is integrative, trauma-informed, and rooted in ethical, reflective work.
If you’re considering working together and would like to talk things through, you’re welcome to get in touch.
Therapy is not about "fixing",
but about discovering, understanding and evolving.

CHARITY WORK
Giving back is something, I value highly. I have been fortunate to work with many amazing charities over the years to support children and adults; Childline, Bereavement UK & Place2Be. My facourite role was in Bromley supporting children parents and school staff as a Wellbeing Practitoner. Supporting adults at Victim Support, One in Four, BMM and RESET was also truly rewarding; with many clients requesting private support. Now I offer low cost therapy to those on benefits to ensure therapy is accessible to everyone.
EXPERIENCES
Having suffered with dermotillomania (skin Picking anxiety disorder) for over 10 years and overcoming depressive episodes, I know how quickly situations, environments and stress can derail you. As I reflect on my life and the lives of my clients, negative cycles are at the centre of our unhappiness and stuckness. We may have different experiences but understanding your own cycles is lifechanging. That's what I am called to do. I also know how impossible it feels to get life back on track without the right support and tools in your toolkit. For me therapy is an opportunity to give back and be the person I never had in my community.
