Kathryn Crameri

I have availability to take on new supervisees, both qualified counsellors and trainees.

I am accredited member of the BACP, and I have a Masters in Integrative Psychotherapy. The basis of my practice is humanistic, relational and tailored to the needs of each client.  I approach supervision in the same way.

As well as my Masters degree, I have completed training in Emotion Focused Therapy (levels 1 and 2) and I also have interests in Transactional Analysis, Gestalt, parts work and various approaches to trauma.

I hold a Certificate in Supervision from the Manchester Institute for Psychotherapy.

I work face to face and online, and occasionally by telephone, with both clients and supervisees.

I have experience with a broad range of clients, who come for help with a variety of issues: anxiety, depression, relationships, trauma, loss, personal development, stress etc.  I have also worked with clients who have a diagnosis of bipolar disorder or borderline personality.

I specialise in working with neurodivergent clients and have undertaken training relating to autism and ADHD.  I have also worked with people in recovery from addiction.

Our first session would be free and would be for us to see whether we are a good fit for one another.

I have availability to take on new clients, although with only limited free evening slots at the moment.  I don't offer appointments on Friday afternoons or at weekends.

I am a counsellor and psychotherapist working in the Garstang area. I offer online (video) appointments as well as face-to-face.

I believe in tailoring my approach to the needs and experiences of the individual client, and my training in Integrative Psychotherapy (MA) helps me to do this. Like all counsellors, I offer a safe and confidential space for you to explore any issues that are causing you distress. In working together towards your goals, I can also suggest specific approaches that might help you to move forward.

After a successful academic career, including management roles, I decided to train as a psychotherapist when I realised that my main skills and interests lay in the relationships I had with my colleagues and students. My background in research and education also means that I really enjoy the opportunities for continuous professional development that are a key part of my obligations to you as a BACP-accredited therapist.

I offer appointments both during the day and in the evenings. Contact me for a free, no obligation 30-minute initial consultation by phone, online or in person.

I have experience of working in a general counselling service and with clients in recovery from drug and alcohol addiction, as well as the broad experience gained through my private practice - more than 2000 client hours in total.

I enjoy working with people on the autism spectrum and I have undertaken relevant training (e.g. National Autistic Society courses). I have also worked with clients with other forms of neurodiversity and have completed training in understanding ADHD.
