About me
I’m Katharine Owen, an integrative counsellor offering online and in‑person therapy in Reading and Tilehurst. I provide a calm, steady space where adults can explore anxiety, trauma, low mood, OCD, relationship difficulties, and the emotional impact of past experiences. I also specialise in supporting neurodivergent adults, including those who identify with Autism or ADHD.
Clients often tell me they value my grounded, gentle approach — especially if they’ve felt rushed or misunderstood elsewhere. I work at your pace, helping you build confidence, clarity, and long‑lasting emotional tools. I offer short‑term and open‑ended therapy, with a free 20–30 minute consultation to help you decide whether I’m the right fit.
If you’re looking for a therapist who is warm, experienced, and easy to talk to, I’d be glad to hear from you.
Training, qualifications & experience
I’m a qualified, experienced counsellor offering short‑ and long‑term therapy in a safe, supportive space. I work gently and steadily with adults facing anxiety and a wide range of emotional challenges, helping you feel understood and supported.
My training allows me to draw from several therapeutic approaches, including person‑centred and psychodynamic therapy, and I adapt my work to suit each client’s needs and pace. I have supported people through complex emotional challenges such as abuse, low self‑esteem, stress, burnout, and life transitions, as well as more specific issues like hoarding, sleep difficulties, and identity development.
I continue to expand my knowledge through ongoing professional development and accredited training, ensuring my practice remains safe, ethical, and responsive. My aim is always to offer therapy that feels grounded, respectful, and genuinely supportive — a space where clients can explore their experiences with clarity and confidence.
