Hi, I'm Katie and I am an experienced Person Centred/Integrative counsellor and psychotherapist.

I offer walk and talk counselling and online video counselling support for adults, children and young people struggling with a variety of issues in and around Preston. Following a Person Centred approach, I offer my clients a safe space to explore their difficulties outside of a traditional therapy room, connecting with nature and embracing the benefits of being outdoors.

If you choose to try walk and talk therapy it can provide a therapeutic environment that feels less intense, especially for those that may struggle with eye contact, sitting still for long periods of time or generally having reservations about accessing traditional therapy. We walk side by side instead of sitting face to face.

Person Centred Counselling under pins my practice, offering empathy and compassion in a none judgmental and safe space. Both my walk and talk sessions and online sessions are none directive, meaning as the client you take the lead. This approach to therapy can empower clients to explore their life experiences and identify areas for change so they can live a happier and more fulfilled life.

 I offer the choice of walk and talk, online or a mixture of both.

Where I work.

My private practice is based in Preston, Lancashire and offers a range of routes suitable for all levels of fitness and ability. I currently hold 1:1 sessions in Avenham Park, Moor Park and Haslam Park. All of the walking routes have been risk assessed and can be adapted to meet individual needs. They all offer the opportunity to sit down along the way and are varied in length depending on how much walking you would like to do. 

I work with adults, children and young people.

I am an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, have full professional liability insurance and am DBS checked.
