About me
Hello, I'm Katharine, a qualified integrated counsellor and therapeutic coach.
I believe strongly in the transformative power of talking therapy. Trying to make sense of our thoughts, feelings and behaviour on our own can be immensely challenging and it can be very helpful and healing to be listened to without judgement or agenda.
You may be experiencing pain or difficulty in your life or relationships and feel you need some support. You may like space to reflect on where you are in your life and what direction you would like to take. You may wish to make some concrete changes and need help with creating and sustaining these. I can provide a warm, compassionate and safe space for all this.
I believe that effective therapy is only possible when a trusting, genuine relationship has been built. I take great care in creating strong relationships with my clients and work in an open-ended manner. My training covered various therapeutic approaches, enabling me to tailor my work to the needs of each individual.
I practise the Personal Consultancy model which integrates counselling with future-focused coaching. If it feels right to you I can work with you to identify your aspirations and align these with your values, alongside helping to foster understanding of where barriers to growth may come from and how to address these.
I aim to support you in understanding your behaviour and your responses to everyday living, to feel liberated in building a fulfilled life and resilient in embracing all that it means to be human.
Training, qualifications & experience
PGDip Integrative Counselling and Coaching (University of East London)
BACP registered member (MBACP)
Alongside my own practice I volunteer at City Pregnancy Counselling and Psychotherapy. I have a particular interest in supporting people going through the pain of pregnancy or baby loss, fertility challenges and post-natal depression. I have trained in ante-natal education so have a solid understanding of the world of pregnancy and the perinatal period.
I also previously volunteered with Cruse Bereavement Care and am experienced in supporting people through the pain and disorientation of bereavement.
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.
