Background and approach
Katherine does not give direct advice; she helps people reflect and find their own solutions. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, often shown as BACP. Katherine has four years of experience in counselling and draws on several approaches to suit different needs.
In sessions she may use client-centred ways of listening, cognitive behavioural techniques for practical changes, or psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns from the past. The method chosen depends on what the person wants to focus on and how they prefer to work. Katherine describes her manner as professional with a personal touch.
People can expect calm, straightforward conversations that aim to reduce overwhelm and build clearer steps forward. She aims to help people make the changes they want to see in their lives.

How Katherine’s approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following the person’s pace. It helps people feel heard and clarify what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, uses practical exercises and small steps to tackle unhelpful thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at repeated patterns and early relationships to understand why certain issues recur and to open up different choices.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katherine will discuss goals and preferences and try different ways of working to see what fits best. This is a collaborative process where the person and the therapist decide together how to proceed.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a visual connection is useful. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing or need a flexible way to keep in touch. These formats help people access therapy from different locations and at times that suit them.
