About me
Are you feeling constantly anxious, overwhelmed or close to burnout — even if you’re managing to keep things going on the outside?
You might find yourself overthinking everything, struggling to switch off, feeling emotionally drained, or stuck in patterns you can’t seem to break. Perhaps stress, work pressure or life changes have started to feel too much, or your relationship with food and your body feels frustrating, confusing or out of control.
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone — and things can feel different.
Hello, I’m Kat, an approachable and Accredited Integrative Counsellor. I offer supportive, practical therapy to help you feel calmer, clearer and more in control of your life.
While many clients come to me with anxiety, burnout, stress or emotional eating, I also work with a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties. Whatever you’re facing, you will be met with understanding, without judgement, and supported in a way that is tailored to you.
Many of my clients come to therapy feeling like they are “just about coping” — but inside feel tense, restless or depleted. Together, we work to reduce that sense of pressure, helping you feel more grounded, more confident and better able to manage whatever life brings.
My specialisms
I have particular experience supporting clients with:
• Anxiety and overthinking
• Burnout and work-related stress
• Weight loss and emotional eating
• Low self-esteem and confidence
• Depression and feeling stuck
• Health challenges and recovery (including cancer)
• Trauma and past experiences
• Neurodivergence-related difficulties
I also work more broadly with any issue that may be affecting your emotional wellbeing, including relationship difficulties, life transitions, loss, or simply a sense that something doesn’t feel quite right.
Supporting clients with weight loss and emotional eating is an area I feel especially passionate about. Many people I work with feel trapped in cycles of dieting, self-criticism or comfort eating, often alongside stress or low mood. Together, we look at the emotional drivers behind these patterns, helping you develop a more balanced, compassionate and sustainable relationship with food, your body and yourself.
How I work
As an integrative counsellor, I tailor therapy to you as an individual. I draw from approaches including CBT, Transactional Analysis, REBT, Person-Centred and Psychodynamic therapy.
This means we can work both practically and in depth — giving you tools to manage anxiety and stress in the present, while also exploring underlying patterns or experiences where helpful.
I offer both short-term, focused counselling and longer-term therapy, depending on your needs. We will work at a pace that feels safe, supportive and right for you.
I also offer Single Session Therapy if you would prefer a one-off, focused session around a specific issue.
Sessions
Sessions are currently available:
• Online (Microsoft Teams)
• Telephone
• Walk and talk sessions in the Medway area, Kent
I also offer in-person sessions from:
Healthy Living Centre
Sultan Road
Lordswood
ME5 8TJ
Walk and talk sessions can be a helpful alternative if you find it easier to talk side-by-side rather than face-to-face, or if being outdoors helps you feel more at ease.
Taking the first step
Reaching out for support can feel like a big step, so I offer a free 20-minute telephone consultation. This gives you the chance to ask questions, talk about what’s bringing you to therapy, and see whether working together feels right for you.
If you’re feeling anxious, burnt out, stuck, struggling with your relationship with food, or dealing with something you can’t quite put into words, you don’t have to face it alone.
I’d be very happy to hear from you.

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.

Further information
Sessions are available online (Microsoft Teams), by telephone, in person at the Healthy Living Centre in Lordswood, and outdoors through walk and talk sessions in the Medway area.
Walk and talk sessions can be a helpful alternative to traditional therapy, particularly if you find it easier to talk side-by-side or feel more at ease in a natural environment.
My way of working is integrative and client-led, meaning I tailor therapy to you as an individual rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. We will work at a pace that feels comfortable, focusing on what matters most to you.
I aim to provide a warm, supportive and non-judgemental space where you can speak openly and feel genuinely heard and understood.
I have extensive experience working short-term, particularly with anxiety, stress, burnout and feeling overwhelmed, and I also offer longer-term therapy where deeper exploration is helpful. Alongside emotional support, I can offer practical strategies to help you manage difficulties in everyday life, build confidence and create meaningful, lasting change.
Confidentiality, safety and trust are central to my practice, and I work in line with professional ethical guidelines.
