OUR FERTILE GROUND
"People are like bicycles. They can keep their balance only as long as they keep moving forward." -Albert Einstein
Licia Karp
With a Masters Degree in Clinical Social Work and vast experience working in mental health and psychiatry throughout her career, Licia is a valued member of the Fertile Ground Advisory Group and is routinely consulted on behavioural challenges that manifest in children.
Licia has lectured at the University of Cape Town and the University of the Western Cape for a decade. Her work in the Consultation Liaison Unit at the Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry with medically ill children and adolescents in the Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital re-ignited her interest in working with CBT (Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy) in pain and trauma. She is excited by utilizing a range of techniques with chronically ill children to improve their quality of life.
She is currently doing a PhD at the National University of Ireland, Galway in the Pain Research Centre with the Department of Psychology.
