About me

Thank you for taking the time to visit my profile. My name is Kate and I am a fully qualified person centred counsellor and a member of The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS).

Life unfortunately can throw unexpected challenges our way from time to time. Sometimes it's difficult for us to navigate through these tricky times. I am here to provide you with a warm, safe, empathic and non judgemental space where we can work through these hurdles and unpack them together.

I am a person centred counsellor which means I offer a non directive approach which requires my client to actively take the reins during our sessions together. My goal as your counsellor is to ensure that you feel fully understood and in return I will offer you the environment you need to reflect on your inner thoughts, emotions and perceptions. I believe your thoughts and feelings deserve the space and freedom to be explored and ackowledged, given the right conditions you can grow towards wellness again.

Often, talking to somone without that personal connection can feel extremely daunting and somewhat scary. Rest assured I will be beside you and will help you make sense of those unwanted thoughts and feelings. Whatever you are feeling past or present, you do not have to navigate this alone. Together we can step into your world and explore whatever changes you wish to make.

I look forward to hearing from you

Kate

Wheelchair user access info
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
