Kate Warren

currently accepting new clients. 

I work between 9am until 7pm on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday and from 9am until 4pm on Tuesday and Friday. 

Hi I am Kate, my background  is in person centred counselling although  I work integratively, using whatever strategies and approach feel most comfortable to support growth and change. This may include, CBT, Solution Focused Approaches, EFT (Tapping) mindfulness, relaxation techniques and psycho education (providing learning and information about the mind and bodies involvement in mental health and well-being)

I work with you as a whole person and believe in the body mind connection, that what we are feeling influences the way we think and visa versa. 

I have 23 years experience of working supporting vulnerable young people and their families. This alongside managing a team within a large organisation provides me with wealth of skills and experience that support my practice. 

I have experience of working within counselling organisations working with  bereavement and loss,  with adolescents experiencing anxiety, depression, sexuality and identity issues and loss and with Relate working with relationship issues as well as my own private practice, working with adults and young people.

As a member of BACP I adhere to their Ethical Framework for Counselling and Psychotherapy and have professional indemnity insurance,  I also have regular clinical supervision.

I offer face to face, online and telephone counselling

online sessions are via zoom. 

Face to face sessions are from my private practice in Quinton. 

I offer walk and talk therapy. This can take place from my practice where we have access to countryside and forestry or in a convenient green space near you.

I believe that what makes therapy effective is the relationship that is built up between the counsellor and the client. Building a relationship where you feel seen and heard and are able to open up and share your thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment 

I offer a 30 minute complementary online or phone consultation to discuss what brings you to counselling and what you would like to achieve. It is an opportunity to see whether we would be able to work together and to answer any questions that you may have about sessions and the way I work. There is no obligation to return 

If we both decide to work together then we would agree a therapeutic contact.  Subsequent sessions are usually 50 minutes weekly however we can discuss length and frequency 

I offer a safe, confidential space. I will listen, value your uniqueness and be respectful of your feelings.  I will work alongside you to explore your individual experience at your pace, enabling you to find resolutions to the problems you may be facing.
