About Karen Bartle

Welcome! My approach to therapy is all about empowering people for the future, and not just the now. I offer online support throughout Australia and NZ using Zoom to help my clients make physically and mentally healthy choices. You will always get a warm welcome here!

I am very enthusiastic about my work which I've been engaged in for the past 2 decades. I work with a wide range of issues and feel privileged to be able to use my skills and knowledge to enable clients to achieve positive outcomes.

Previously, I spent a number of years working as a Graduate Psychologist in the UK's National Health Service. This included working in specialist units with people with severe and enduring mental health problems and working within a specialist community based team supporting clients who had learning difficulties, autistic spectrum issues, and challenging behaviours. The work was very challenging, but incredibly rewarding. 

Before emigrating to QLD Australia I was a hypnotherapist and hypnotherapy trainer in the UK. I am registered with the Australian Hypnotherapists Association as an Advanced Clinical hypnotherapist, able to provide private health insurance rebates, and hold a Blue Card for working with children.

 My qualifications include:

MSc (Subject: Health Psychology) - a two year course undertaken at Sheffield Hallam University, UK. Health psychology is a psychological field which, as the name suggests, deals with improving people's health using psychology.

BSc (Hons) (Subject: Psychology) - a three year degree course undertaken at Sheffield Hallam University. As a hypnotherapist, it is especially helpful that I am equipped with the knowledge and the tools for helping clients psychologically. You can have confidence that I have a detailed understanding of mind, behaviour and communication.

HPD - Hypnotherapy Practitioner Diploma - externally validated and accredited jointly by the National Council for Hypnotherapy (NCH) and NCFE.

DipH - Diploma in Hypnotherapy. This qualification was gained by showing competence as a hypnotherapist. I was assessed on my theoretical knowledge and understanding, and my ability to practice hypnotherapy in a safe and ethical way.

AdvDipH - Advanced Diploma in Hypnotherapy

NLP Practitioner - Practitioner of Neuro-linguistic Programming.

CertSM - Certificate in Stress Management.

CertHypSup - Certificate in Hypnotherapeutic Supervision. I am a qualified hypnotherapy supervisor.
