About me

Karen Partridge is a Consultant Clinical Psychologist and Systemic Psychotherapist, currently working in independent practice. Formerly Trust Head of Systemic Psychotherapy at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Trust and Co-Director of the KCC Foundation. I started my career in learning disabilities and in adult mental health where I carried out my PhD research into organisational change in hospitals. I completed my systemic training at the KCC Foundation where I worked as a tutor for many years. I train and supervise health and social care professionals across a wide range of settings and client groups. I work with children, families, couples, work groups, organisations and in the community. I teach and supervise professionals and am interested in consultation and training for staff groups and organisations and in the interface between therapy, community and organisational interventions, action research and social justice. My interests include narrative approaches and social constructionism, discourses in training and supervision, reflexivity and positioning, art, music, Buddhism, mindfulness and the application of systemic ideas in organisational settings.
