About me

Are you struggling with something you can’t seem to change alone?

Or are you feeling overwhelmed by something that’s going on for you?

Maybe you have the feeling there’s something preventing you from leading an enjoyable and meaningful life.

If so, therapy can give you the emotional resilience and compassionate support to help you explore what is going on for you.

Hello I’m Kate, I’m an experienced qualified counsellor.

I meet and talk to clients, people like you, who may be living with some sort of emotional distress. My ethos is that all emotional distress, no matter how complex or confusing it is, will make sense in the bigger picture of your life. My job as a therapist is to listen carefully to your story, to understand what it is like to be you and together we make sense of your experience.

Uma Therapy combines neuroscience,

TA psychotherapy and Counselling, with

mindfulness, visualisation and meditation.

I use these traditional techniques, to enhance my Western training in Transactional Analysis (TA).

Founded in 1960’s by the well known psychiatrist, Eric Berne, whose ethos was:

People are essentially born OK
Everyone has the capacity to think
People decide their own destiny and their decisions can be changed.
TA offers a model of communication, a study of repetitive behavioural patterns, and a theory of the personality. It can be used in the short term blended with counselling, or longer term with psychotherapy.

As a therapist I offer a warm holding environment to explore your emotional landscape.
