Katie Hartfield

I currently have limited availability within my practice and welcome enquiries from new clients. My working hours are flexible and appointments may be available during daytime and evening periods, subject to availability.

To ensure the best possible support, I review appointment availability on an ongoing basis and will discuss suitable session times during the initial enquiry process.

Please note that I will be taking a two-week break over the Christmas period. Clients will be advised of the specific dates in advance, and any enquiries received during this time will be responded to as soon as possible upon my return.

If you would like to enquire about availability, please feel free to get in touch.

I offer an integrative and collaborative approach to counselling, tailored to your individual needs. My work is primarily grounded in Person-Centred Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy, allowing us to explore both your experiences and practical ways forward. 

At the heart of my practice is the belief that you are the expert on your own life. I provide a safe, supportive and non-judgemental space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences at your own pace. I aim to build a trusting therapeutic relationship based on empathy, acceptance and authenticity, helping you feel heard, valued and understood.

Alongside exploring emotions, relationships and personal experiences in depth, I also help clients identify their strengths, resources and goals. Using Solution-Focused techniques, we can focus on what is already working, recognise progress and consider achievable next steps towards meaningful change.

As a BACP Accredited Registered Member and a LICBT (Low Intensity Cognitive Behavioural Therapist), I draw on additional evidence-based skills where appropriate, helping clients develop practical strategies to manage difficulties such as anxiety, stress, low mood, relationship challenges, life transitions and self-esteem concerns.

My role is not to tell you what to do, but to work alongside you, supporting self-awareness, emotional growth, resilience and positive change. Together, we can explore what matters most to you and work towards outcomes that feel meaningful and achievable.

I provide counselling for adults, children and young people in a warm, supportive and non-judgemental environment, offering both online and face-to-face sessions. My aim is to create a safe space where you feel heard, understood and able to explore whatever has brought you to therapy.

I work integratively, drawing primarily on Person-Centred and Solution-Focused approaches, while also incorporating skills from my training and experience as a Low Intensity Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (LICBT). This enables me to tailor therapy to individual needs, whether you are seeking space to explore emotions and experiences in depth, develop practical coping strategies, or work towards specific goals.

I believe that each person is the expert on their own life. Rather than giving advice or telling you what to do, I work alongside you to help you better understand yourself, identify your strengths, build resilience and develop confidence in making choices that feel right for you.

I support clients experiencing a wide range of difficulties, including anxiety, stress, low mood, depression, bereavement, relationship and family challenges, low self-esteem, life transitions, emotional regulation difficulties and work-related pressures. When working with children and young people, I adapt my approach to their age, developmental stage and individual needs, helping them express and understand their emotions in a safe and supportive way.

As a BACP Accredited Member, I work within the BACP Ethical Framework, ensuring counselling is provided in a professional, confidential and respectful manner. I recognise that reaching out for support can feel daunting, and I aim to build a trusting therapeutic relationship where you can feel safe to be yourself and move at a pace that feels comfortable.

Whether you are facing a specific challenge or looking for a space to reflect and grow, I will work collaboratively with you to support your emotional wellbeing, personal growth and lasting positive change.
