My research and publication

For my Masters, I completed a year-long research project where I explored transgender clients’ experiences of their therapeutic relationships with their counsellors. This research project and further training has enabled me to develop additional understandings of the challenges that some people may face who identify within the LGBT+ spectrum and the impact these challenges have on mental health.

I chose this research topic as I feel very passionate about promoting LGBT+ inclusive and affirmative practice and to further expand my skills as an LGBT+ affirmative practitioner. I also felt this research topic was important for me to immerse myself in as someone who is cis-gender, to communicate my commitment and acceptance of human experience and difference.

About me

Hi, I'm Katie and I'm a humanistic-integrative counsellor and psychotherapist who believes that everybody, regardless of difference, deserves to live an authentic and fulfilling life. I understand however, that life can be very distressing and the challenges we face can often get in the way of living a life we truly want and need. We can also find ourselves being completely unaware of why life feels this way and can sometimes leave us feeling lost and unable to move forward.

I believe however, that emotional distress is a very normal response to adverse circumstances - past or present - and that everybody has a unique way of experiencing. I am interested in the person you are, and all the nuanced experiences that make you, you. I commit to creating a trusting and non-judgmental therapeutic relationship. This can help you gain a sense of freedom, empowerment, and autonomy over your life - even if it feels very difficult to imagine right now and has done for some time.

Work experience and background

I am a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist offering online counselling. I have over 7 years of experience supporting people in various contexts such as schools, colleges and residential homes. I have also provided specialist mental health mentoring to university students and counselled at two different charities. My work experience has led to my ongoing passion and respect for human difference and celebration of diversity.

Qualifications

I have completed a BSc Honours degree in Psychology and Clinical Psychology at the University of Lincoln, and have completed a Post-Graduate Diploma in Counselling and a Masters in Counselling at York St John University. 

My approach

My humanistic-integrative approach to counselling means I draw on a number of approaches that really honours the unique human you are and respects how you experience the world. This also means that I adapt my ways of working to your individual needs and your own pace.

My approach can include a variety of methods such as asking open questions, focussing on and exploring emotions, using metaphor and imagery, exploring bodily sensations/somatic experiences and supportive challenge. This list is not exhaustive as I appreciate the natural fluidity and flow of sessions, as what you need from me may alter from moment to moment and session to session and will be unique to you.

I can also help you explore the systems that you fall part of in life such as relational, social, political and existential dimensions and how they can impact you.

Next steps?

I understand that choosing counselling as the next step in your life can be a very daunting and scary experience. Therefore, I offer a free 20-minute online consultation where we can discuss the challenges you are facing and to see if we would make a good fit for your counselling journey.

Get in touch today and I will respond to you as soon as possible.
