Kathryn Poulton

It is my belief that we all have the innate ability to live rich and fulfilling lives, but sometimes we may lose our way. Whether you are feeling stuck and unhappy, a life-changing event has left you feeling at sea, or you simply need someone to talk to, I offer a safe, inclusive and non-judgemental space in which to explore, come to a greater awareness of yourself, and invite the possibility of something different.

​I hold a Postgraduate Diploma in Gestalt psychotherapy from the renowned Metanoia Institute in Ealing. I have worked with many clients in various different settings - at MCPS in Ealing, Hemel Psychotherapy Practice in Hemel Hempstead, and now in private practice from a peaceful and secluded therapy space in Beaconsfield. I hold full professional insurance and am a fully qualified and registered member of the BACP. I abide by the rules and ethics of the BACP, and regularly engage in CPD (continuous professional development).

I am trained in Gestalt psychotherapy, which means that my approach is relational and includes the whole person- thoughts, feelings, beliefs, ways of being with others, bodily sensations, how you are in the world - these are all things that may emerge during our work and that we can explore together. My practice is Neuroaffirming and I strive to create an inclusive and welcoming environment for all.

I hold the belief that you are the expert in your life, not me, and my task is to journey beside you rather than direct you where to go. If you are open to it, I may invite you to experiment with doing things differently, or with creativity such as movement, music, play, art, or anything else that may speak to you or that you feel drawn to. 

Whether you are looking for shorter term therapy to help with a particular issue, longer term for more in depth exploration, or you aren’t sure, the first step is to get in touch. I offer a free 15-minute phone call to get an idea of whether we are a good fit to work together, followed by an initial 50-minute consultation, where we can discuss what brings you to therapy and what you are hoping to achieve. You are under no obligation or pressure to continue after this session, but if you would like to, and we agree that we are a good match, subsequent sessions are 50 minutes weekly and are held in Jordans, Beaconsfield. All sessions including the initial consultation are charged at £65 (reduced cost spaces may be available)
