About me and my therapy practice

My name is Kat and I know from experience that sometimes things may get too much and life may seem complicated and talking to a friend or a family member may not feel like a solution. Either you are experiencing stress, relationship problems, anxiety, depression, loss or any other emotional issue counselling may help. By providing you with a safe and confidential space I can assist you on a journey of self exploration and change. I believe everyone has a capacity for a change and I treat every client with respect regardless of their cultural background, sex, marital or social status. I graduated from Northern Guild for Psychotherapy and Counselling in Newcastle and have experience in voluntary, GP surgery, employee assistance programme and private practice setting. My approach is Humanistic with elements of Transactional Analysis, Gestalt and creative tools where the client and their therapy goal is the main focus. I have experience in working with clients in short and long term therapy. Short work is useful if you wish to explore a specific issue and identify the best way forward, where if you feel you need deeper exploration of a past experience which is affecting you now long term therapy would be more appropriate. The length of therapy and it's kind is individually tailored to meet a clients needs.

My first session

Since I strongly believe relationship between the therapist and the client plays an important part  in counselling I offer 30min free consultation as an opportunity to meet each other, ask questions we may have to help us decide whether we can see ourselves working together or not. From my perspective that 30min will enable me to assess if your issue is in the area of my expertise and if I will be able to help. If for any reason I will think I may not do a good match for you I will do my best to signpost you appropriately.
