About me
Hello, I’m Kathleen, a Drama & Movement Psychotherapist (HCPC). I have a therapy room in Norwich city centre. I also offer Online Therapy and Walk & Talk sessions across Norfolk.
People seek therapy for many different reasons. Some of the more common reasons are: anxiety, depression, existential questions, low mood, family issues, infertility, life changes, low self-confidence, relationship problems, stress, work-related stress, trauma.
I am non-judgemental, compassionate and adaptable. I tailor my approach to best suit the needs of each individual client. Some people prefer to only talk and some wish to be creative.
People can find using creative methods help to reflect on their experiences and relationships, to process their thoughts and feelings, which then supports change.
If you feel therapy may help but you aren't sure where to begin, please get in touch. I'm mindful that by the time you're looking at my page, you have probably been thinking about starting therapy for some time. I am kind and patient and want you to find the therapist that best suits you. I offer a free, no-obligation, introductory call (10-20 mins) to learn more about you and why you are seeking therapy at this time, to answer any questions you might have and to think together about how I can help.

Past clients have said:
"I immediately felt really comfortable and able to open up partially due to the calm environment of the office, and mostly because I didn't feel awkward as the right kinds of questions were asked and I wasn't expected to do all of the talking. It was more like a conversation a lot of the time rather than just me speaking, which I think overall helped me a lot to get out what I needed to."
“Kathleen made the process very easy and accessible. I always felt comfortable in the sessions and left feeling listened to and respected.”
“I have been continuing the skills that’s we practiced together and have more confidence to trust my feelings and experiences and self in day to day life.”
"Kathleen was really helpful for my teenage daughter and we will most definitely be back if she feels the need for more support in the future!"
