I’m an Accredited Family Mediator and Certified Life and Relationship Coach and have been working in the Human Services industry for over 30 years. Much of my work has been supporting families and individuals who are dealing with crises or changes in their lives. I’m passionate about the work that I do and love to help my clients find a sense of calm and resolution during their tough times.  
I have an extensive background, and training in many Therapeutic Modalities for Counselling, Coaching and Healthy Un-Coupling and use a unique combination of each of these approaches to give my clients tools, wisdom and insight to grow in the right direction.

I live with my husband and lazy old dog in the beautiful nature of Muskoka, Ontario.

'Karen Patterson provided a safe and neutral environment for us to negotiate in. We were able to voice our opinions and state our worries without fear of backlash.She knew when to let us talk and when to interject with a different perspective on the matter. She made sure that all were heard and no one's voice was left out.We find ourselves incredibly grateful for the service she provided and feeling of relief that it left us with. Karen Patterson is both professional and understanding and we absolutely recommend her.'‘
