Karen Brunner, LPC

As a dedicated counsellor, Karen Brunner, LPC offers guidance to individuals and groups (couples, families, etc.) to help them deal with certain issues that affect their subjective well-being and mental health. Counsellors often use “wellness” models to highlight their clients’ strengths to help them become more confident in their everyday lives. She encourages clients to discuss the experiences that have triggered mental health issues along with their emotions. Counsellors examine various issues such as anger management, anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, and substance abuse. It’s also the job of counsellors to develop therapeutic processes based on their clients’ needs.

Counselling encompasses the counselling process and its outcome, training, supervision, health, prevention, and research. Through counselling, people can find a safe space to open up about the troubles they are facing in their lives, which are typically suppressed due to fear of public stigma. Professional counsellors adhere to a strict code of ethics that involves protecting their clients’ privacy, i.e. keeping their conversations secret. It’s also the responsibility of counsellors to maintain a certain distance with their clients so as not to develop any personal relationships with them.
