karen.dempsey@metanoia.ac.uk
I qualified from CCPE with a Masters in Transpersonal Integrative Psychotherapy in 2014 and became a clinical supervisor in 2016. I have a private therapy and supervision practice in south London, working with individuals and couples. I especially love creative and relational approaches in my work as a therapist.
I have been teaching and lecturing for the past eight years, and I am passionate about supporting students to become the best therapists they can be. I am in the final stages of a professional doctorate – my research was a narrative thematic inquiry into journeys of transformation in psychotherapy education – which has taught me a lot about how students prefer to learn. I am currently enhancing my learning by pursuing a PG Certificate in Higher Education at Metanoia.
My style of teaching aims to facilitate active learning and critical thinking in the classroom… and I am known to share a story or two.
