About Karyn

Karyn Simon is an Australian mental health professional with more than 10 years of experience supporting people through a wide range of challenges. She has worked alongside veterans and their families and with individuals affected by domestic and family violence, trauma, grief, anxiety, depression and stress. Karyn holds the AASW credential, indicating membership in the Australian Association of Social Workers, and brings that professional grounding to each therapeutic relationship.

Karyn has a particular interest in helping people navigate life transitions, with attention to women’s wellbeing during midlife changes. She creates a non-judgmental space where identity shifts, changing roles and emotional overwhelm can be explored at a manageable pace. Karyn works from the perspective that each person is the expert in their own life and that therapy is an opportunity to reconnect with inner strengths and resilience.

Reaching out for support is framed as a thoughtful and courageous step. Karyn aims to guide individuals through both practical and emotional aspects of change, offering collaborative, empathetic care to help them move forward.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Support

Karyn uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that are tailored to each person’s needs. One common approach she draws on is trauma-informed care, which focuses on understanding how past distress affects current thoughts, feelings and behaviors and helps people build strategies to reduce distress and regain a sense of stability. Another core element of her practice is a strengths-based, skills-focused approach that helps individuals identify their existing resources and learn practical tools for managing anxiety, stress and life transitions.



Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Karyn works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best. She takes into account a person’s goals, preferences and life circumstances and adapts techniques over time so the plan remains helpful and realistic.



Online therapy with Karyn is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexibility to suit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy periods or when in-person visits are not convenient, while allowing therapists and licensed professionals to focus on practical progress and emotional support.
