Katherine Sabberton-Coe

Currently I work:

• Tuesday 1500, 1600, 1700
• Thursday 1000, 1100, 1200
• Friday 1000, 1100, 1200

I am currently training to be a supervisor, undertaking a course that will enable me to work integratively. The main model to be studied is Inskipp and Proctor although other models will also be studied.

My interest with supervision is the relationship formed between therapist and client, what might be going on unconsciously and consciously and what it might indicate for the client. 

I have relevant training and experience of working with young people both as counsellor for the No 5 Charity (based in Reading) and as a school counsellor. I have been an accredited counsellor since 2022.

Whilst I am training I will be offering concessionary rates for supervision. The first session will be about discussing what you should expect from working with me and establishing our contract of working together.

Available for the following session times

• Tuesday 1500, 1600, 1700 
• Thursday 1000, 1100, 1200
• Friday 1000, 1100 and 1200.

I am an experienced person-centered counsellor who enjoys learning about other modalities and has delivered over 1400 counselling sessions. I work with 16yrs+ and with people from all walks of life, culture, faith or non. I believe that the most important element for successful counselling is the therapeutic relationship. My hope is to work with you, talking through whatever may be troubling you and together finding a way for you to move forward.

I work from a room in the centre of Reading 10 minutes walk from the train station.  Currently I work face-to-face although I do have experience of working online.

The number of sessions you may need will vary and we will have regular reviews to reflect on how we feel the work is going. It may be that you only want a few sessions or it may be that you want longer term therapy. My aim is to work at your pace.

When you initially contact me we will book a time for a short phone call. This call will be a chance for you to talk about what your hopes for counselling are. Together we will decide whether I might be the right counsellor for you.

Your first face to face session is a chance for you to tell me a bit more about yourself and what you wish to talk about. I will let you know what you can expect from me and you can ask any questions, and talk about any concerns you may have about the counselling.

Often this first session can feel quite daunting, especially if it is your first experience of counselling. We will take it at your pace and you will not have to disclose everything about yourself at this stage. I recognise it might take a while for you to feel you can trust me.
