Karen Harrington

Kia ora, I identify as Maori (Ngati Kahungunu from Wairoa) on my father’s side and Pākehā (Scottish) on my mother’s side. I am married with two adult children.

I have a background of over 30 years in nursing and worked in mental health for ten of those years. I had seven years experience doing psychodynamic group and individual therapy in the Adult Community Mental Health services in the CDHB before going into private practice in mid-2019.

I have experience working with clients with serious mental health illness including eating disorders, personality disorders, severe dissociation disorders and complex PTSD.

I am a certified Internal Family Systems therapist.
