About Karen Marsh

Karen Marsh is a therapist in Australia with 25 years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and issues around self-esteem. Credentialed with PACFA - the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia - she brings long-term experience and a range of clinical trainings to her practice.

She is trained in a variety of trauma-informed and experiential modalities, including Schema Therapy, the Flash Technique (FT), Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), Memory Reconsolidation, hypnosis, and other experiential approaches. These tools are applied according to each person’s needs so therapy can be tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.

Karen believes that each person is the expert in their own story and that existing strengths are key resources in overcoming life’s challenges. She frames the first step toward greater wellbeing as an act of courage and offers supportive guidance throughout the therapeutic process. Her work aims to help clients find clearer perspective, stronger relationships, and more manageable responses to difficult memories and emotions.

Therapeutic approaches for remote care and connection

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and committed actions. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and situations where a person wants to build a more meaningful life despite ongoing challenges.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of connection and emotional bonds formed in relationships. It can help with attachment issues, abandonment concerns, communication difficulties, and improving how people relate to partners and family.

Karen approaches online work collaboratively, exploring which methods best match a client’s needs, goals, and preferences. Together with the client she considers what feels most helpful and adapts techniques over time so the approach evolves with progress.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people balancing work, family, or geographic constraints. These options make it easier to access a licensed professional from a familiar setting, maintain continuity of care, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable.
