Hello there,

Thank you for taking the time to look my page. I'm Kath and I'm an Integrative counsellor working throughout the UK.

I have an interest in compassionate based therapies and I specialise in supporting those who have experienced childhood trauma.
I also have experience of supporting people with enduring mental health difficulties as well as difficulties relating to previous trauma.

I often use third wave approaches within therapeutic work, which include a combination of mindfulness, acceptance commitment  and compassionate based therapy.

I have an awareness of LGBTQ+ issues and counsel across a number of intersectional areas. I identify as (she/her/they). 

I have counselled adults, children and young people.

I have experience of counselling within the NHS, staff counselling, GP surgeries, schools and universities. I counsel students currently of all ages and from a number of different nationalities and cultures. 

I often support people to feel more confident, happier and resilient. Often, recieving okay I’ve feedback about the experiences they’ve had since coming to therapy. For some people I would short term but for a majority my work is more long term.  

I support people to feel more present in 'here and now' and to develop more positive mental health and well-being.

I counsel on a number of topics, ranging from: anxiety, stress, depression, work life balance, trauma and suicidal thinking. I also support people in coming to terms with change, whether that be something positive or negative. I can support people who have experienced  bereavement. 
Whatever you are going through know that you don’t have to go through it alone.
Please feel able to reach out to me, I would be happy to explore with you whether I might be the most appreciate counsellor for you. 

The benefits of counselling can be: 

Being able to understand yourself in a safe confidential place 
Supporting you to build better relationships with your family, friends and people at work
Learning to cope better in everyday life
Changing behaviours that you've now outgrown
Learning tools and techniques that specifically help you          

What else

An important part of counselling is learning to face problems and difficulties so it is important to be open about what's going on. Counselling is not only a process but part of life, it can take time and a commitment to change things.  

Please contact me if you have any questions or would like to briefly outline the support you would like help with.

Warmest wishes, Kath
