About me
I am a qualified MA psychotherapist offering an integrative approach to working with young people (6+), adolescents, individuals, and couples.
I am also a clinical supervisor and qualified to work with individuals by telephone, virtually online, and face-to-face. I am able to offer student rates.
My practice is professional, comfortable and confidential. Working from a compassionate, focused approach with all clients, I am able to offer a comfortable, non-judgmental, safe space to explore your issues. Virtual sessions are an additional offering which are mutually agreed in advance.
The themes I work with are work-related-stress, anxiety, generic stress, depression, self identity, self esteem, low self worth, panic attacks, relationships, family issues, and much more.
Face-to-face sessions are hosted at Alington House Community Centre in Durham throughout the week and on Saturdays. This is accessible by public transport and close to all bus, rail, and metro services.
I can offer a 10-minute free consultation to see if I am the right fit for you.
I welcome all enquiries and respond within 24 hours generally.
I look forward to hearing from you, and fully appreciate that it takes a lot of courage to make initial contact, and know when you need the right support.
Warm regards,
Kathleen

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.
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.
The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations. In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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).

Having come from an educational background when teaching art-related disciplines, my practice can encompass a creative approach if this should work well for you, or not.
In December 2020 I created a Grief Episode Guide fir Teens, single user journal for teens to support this underrepresented group aged 12-25. This is an interactive portable A5 journal. This reflects my understanding of bereavement and clinical knowledge.
