Welcome and thank you for looking at my profile. I am a registered counsellor with the BACP, working from my private practice KERCounselling based in Amersham. I offer both short term and long term face to face and online counselling, tailored to your individual needs.

I have extensive experience and am a trauma informed practitioner working within the field of anger, anxiety, depression, grief, low self-esteem, low self-worth and suicide ideation.

I also work for a charity counselling survivors, children, young people and adults of sexual abuse, assault and domestic violence.

Life's challenges can sometimes feel overwhelming, whether they stem from past experiences, present difficulties or a sense that something is holding you back from the life you want.

Reaching out for support can feel daunting, but it is a courageous step. I offer a compassionate and non-judgemental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings freely, at a pace that feels right for you.

I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship is vital for lasting positive change, which is why I prioritise understanding your unique needs and fostering a compassionate connection

'You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.' Martin Luther King Jr 

Kindness, respect and empathy guide my person-centred practice, helping you gain a clearer understanding of yourself, your circumstances and your relationships. Through this process, I will support you in making positive changes, guide you towards self-empowerment to move forward with confidence and navigate life's challenges with resilience and clarity.

Above all, I am passionate about supporting your mental well-being and self-care. Together, we will work towards new perspectives, greater self-awareness and a deeper sense of meaning in your life.

Testimonials 

'I cannot thank you enough for the safe space you gave me, for your welcoming smile and for listening. I was able to unravel 40 years of tangled mess and emotions. As I rambled through what had happened never ever was I made to feel anything but supported and listened to at every stage.' August 2021

'I felt so comfortable talking to Kathy. That meant I was able to work through traumas that I had been suppressing for many years. Therapy taught me how the trauma affected my behaviour and gave me  a new perspective. I learnt so much about self-care and how to overcome negative thoughts and feelings. I would now recommend therapy for anyone.' January 2025

In the first session we will talk about how you are feeling about beginning counselling. Some clients feel excited while others feel overwhelmed and scared. This is your time to talk about your feelings and emotions in a safe and non-judgemental space.

We will work through an assessment and working agreement. I will answer any questions you may have, and together we will explore what brought you here, and what you want from therapy.

I look forward to us working together!
