About me
Hi, I’m Katherine. I believe in tuning in and paying attention to your body when exploring experiences and emotions.
You may be here because life doesn’t feel as good as you’d like it to, your usual ways of coping aren’t cutting it anymore, or you’re hoping to understand yourself better.
I work alongside you as you take some time to (re)find your internal strength and footing. What is most important to me is building a safe and supportive relationship with each client I work with - providing space to unpick your tangles and explore what is important to you.
My approach is integrative, which means I draw from different psychotherapeutic models, working collaboratively with each client to offer responsive sessions that fit their needs. Because I am trained as a Dance Movement Psychotherapist, my approach is grounded in exploring bodily experience, but I also utilise other creative modalities as well as talking.
If you're interested in finding out more, I offer a free 20-minute introductory phone call.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold an MA in Dance Movement Psychotherapy.
Prior to moving to Edinburgh, I worked for the NHS in England in a multi-disciplinary team. I supported adults in mainstream community services, forensic services, and adults accessing a specialist learning disability service.
I’m now based in Scotland and, alongside my private therapy practice, work for a mental health charity.
Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
