About me
Hi, I’m Kat.
If you’re looking at counselling, there’s probably something in your life that isn’t feeling quite right. You might be struggling with relationships, feeling overwhelmed or stuck, or finding yourself repeating patterns you don’t really understand. Or perhaps you just have a sense that something needs to change.
You don’t need to know exactly what’s wrong before you come. You don’t need to have a clear goal or know how to explain what you’re feeling. We can work that out together.
I don’t see you as someone who needs fixing. There may be parts of your life that aren’t working for you right now, but that doesn’t mean there’s something wrong with you. The ways you think, feel and respond have developed through your experiences and have probably helped you get through things. Sometimes, though, those same ways of coping can start to get in the way of the life or relationships you want.
Therapy gives us some space to slow things down and look at what’s really going on. I’ll be alongside you, paying attention to what you bring, including the things that might be difficult to say.
You don’t have to be a particular kind of person to come to therapy. You can just be yourself.
You can simply come as you are.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

Relationships and groups
I have a particular interest in the space between people — what happens when we meet one another, how we connect, how we protect ourselves, and what happens when we feel seen, misunderstood, accepted or challenged.
My own experience of being part of a therapeutic group had a profound impact on me. I experienced how being witnessed by others, and being able to witness others in return, can create a different kind of possibility for healing and change.
This experience has shaped my interest in group therapy and relational work.
In a group, we don’t simply talk about relationships. We have the opportunity to notice them as they happen.
How we speak and listen.
When we hold back.
When we move towards someone.
When we become quiet.
What happens when we feel included or left out.
What changes when we allow ourselves to be seen.
These moments can become valuable opportunities for awareness and choice.
