Hi I am Katherine and I am a qualified psychotherapist with many years of experience working with people who are going through challenges in their lives. Evidence shows that one of the most important parts of therapy is the relationship between client and therapist and I hope to establish a warm and non-judgemental space where you will feel comfortable and safe.

Whether on the phone, in person or online you will have the freedom to explore any issues you may wish to bring, at your own pace. Often people struggle in relationship with themselves or with others, there may be experiences you have had in childhood or you may have a difficult decision to make. In therapy with me you will be able to talk through thoughts, feelings and behaviours and develop a greater sense of understanding and acceptance.

I work in a trauma-informed way, conscious that many difficult feelings and experiences can be hard to talk about. Sometimes the hardest part is taking the first step and reaching out, especially if what you are going through or have been through seems difficult to put into words. I am trained to support you to do this and to help you identify and make any changes in your life you feel may improve the quality of your life. 

I very much look forward to meeting you.

My first session is free of charge and lasts 20-30 minutes. This gives us time to complete a brief collaborative assessment helping me understand what brings you to counselling and you can ask any questions you might have.

All subsequent sessions last 1 hour.
