About Karyn Krawford
Karyn Krawford is a clinical psychotherapist practising in Australia who supports people experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma, domestic and family problems, and bipolar disorder. She aims to foster an open, nonjudgmental environment where thoughts and feelings can be explored and where clients are invited to speak honestly about their experiences.
With a background as a social scientist, she maintains a deep interest in culture and ethnicity, cultural assimilation, organisational dynamics, gender, human rights, political science, and the influence of power in society. This broader lens informs her work and helps situate personal challenges within larger social and organisational contexts.
She holds PACFA - the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia - and is certified as an advanced Transactional Analysis Practitioner with the North American Association of Transactional Analysis. Transactional Analysis is a therapeutic approach that can help improve communication, increase self-awareness, and support greater personal autonomy.
Karyn provides psychoeducation on relationship dynamics, power plays, psychological drivers that emerge under stress, emotional regulation, and how to motivate people in organisational settings. She welcomes conversations about any particular topics or preferences a client wishes to bring into therapy.
She recognises that taking the first step toward therapy often requires courage and seeks to offer steady, compassionate support to people beginning that process.
