Katharina Wolf

I am currently available Monday, Tuesday, and Friday. 

I believe that no one is an island. The human need to connect, to be seen, and to be truly heard are at the centre of my work. With an integrative background and an instinctive approach, I am able to meet my clients in whichever way is most beneficial for them. I use a Person-Centred approach to help clients to become the best version of themselves, or might draw from Psychodynamic teaching to accompany clients on their journey into the past to identify historical issues that are affecting their lives in the present. If required, we can also work on very concrete issues by using CBT techniques or EMDR.

To say it with Friedrich Nietzsche: ‘Become the person you are.’ I will work on understanding and accepting yourself. Some feelings might make us uncomfortable, but they too need to be honoured. My work aims to be empowering, supporting clients to live a self-determined life, overcoming loss, regaining a sense of identity and facilitating post-traumatic growth.

Having worked in Public Relations for many years, I understand the importance of relationships and the impact they can have on a client’s life.  Feelings of isolation, loss of self-worth and identity need to be explored in a wider context to come to a place of acknowledgement, acceptance, and eventually, healing. 

For me, being a therapist means walking alongside my clients, being present to help look in places where it hurts the most, exploring the 'ugly',  and celebrating the good.

Brief therapy (6 sessions), EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitation and Reprocessing (approx. 8 sessions), as well as long-term/open-ended therapy as required. 

I offer counselling in English and German. 

I enjoy and have experience of working with diversity and therefore welcome people from all communities, ethnicities, cultures, and sexualities to my practice.

I offer 2 spaces for £40 to people on low-income and counselling trainees. Please ask. 

As the therapeutic relationship is integral to my approach, getting to know each other and making sure we are the right fit is important. I will be asking questions to find out what you came to achieve/what you need and how I can best support you. I like to be very transparent and am always happy to answer any questions you might have. There is no pressure to continue if you do not feel that I can help you. 

I am currently available Monday, Tuesday, and Friday. 

I am an integrative counsellor with a private practice and have taken the next step to become a clinical supervisor (Level 6). 

In my counselling practice relationship is at the centre. This is no different in supervision, expect that it is not just our relationship but also the one you have with your clients. 

My practice is underpinned by the 7-eyed model of supervision and leaves a lot of room for exploration; no stone will be left unturned, the unseen made visible. 

I offer a reduced rate as I am still in training. 

As a therapist, I am able to draw from a wealth of experience across approaches and counselling settings. I work trauma informed, have a good understanding of the body-mind connection and a keen interest in neuroscience. 

I have worked in the NHS, for a low-cost service, in a hospice setting and for Women's Aid/Solace, supporting women who have experienced sexual and domestic violence. 

I see my role as a supervisor as a natural extension of my counselling practice and apart from ensuring that your work is safe and to the highest standards, I am also here to safeguard your well-being. My aim is to further your understanding of who you are as a practitioner.

In the beginning, I will ask you how you like to be supervised and how you feel most supported. 

I will also ask a ton of questions to encourage you to 'get the client into the room' and to understand your relationship with them.
