About me
Hello, I’m Kathleen. I offer face to face and online therapy. I have experience working with people of all ages with many different needs. I offer a confidential, non-judgemental space where I actively listen and connect with each individual client.
I combine talking with creative exercises to encourage free expression and self-realisation. Often, people find using creative methods help to reflect on their experiences and relationships, to process their thoughts and feelings, which then supports change. Some people prefer to only talk, and that’s okay. Every session is led by the client.
I offer a free introductory video 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.
Please read more about me and my practice on my website, and feel free to get in touch with any questions and/or enquiries. I will always aim to reply within 2 working days. Please check your junk/ spam folder if you have not received an email.

Past clients have said:
“Kathleen has a warm and supportive presence, allowing me to do the work while she facilitated it, asking the right questions and nudging me in the right direction. No pressure, very laid back and friendly, but perfectly professional. A true gem!”
“Kathleen made the process very easy and accessible. I always felt comfortable in the sessions and left feeling listened to and respected.”
“I made a lot of progress in the year I spent with Kathleen and am very glad to say I am doing much, much better. I have a better toolkit to evaluate and address issues now than I had before.”
“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.”
