Kathryn Roe

Everyone deserves to feel at their best and to receive support when they require it, without shame. I believe that no one's circumstances are less worthy than others. I work with individuals, couples, groups and parents. If you are seeking to thrive, understand and explore your own circumstances better, to regain a sense of energy, hope, wellbeing and vitality, (whether working through distress such as anxiety or depression, challenging personal events, setbacks within relationships, grief, loss, endings, transitions and change), I am here to support your intentions towards health, change, meaning-making and growth. We all need a bit of help sometimes, without judgement. 

Our emotional health struggles show up through all sorts of bodily “symptoms”, be it low mood, sexual difficulties, anxious feelings, sleep problems etc, which can affect how we relate to others and how we can treat ourselves (for instance, at times we might isolate ourselves, or feel guilt and shame). I believe it is the safe, trusting relationship we build together that unlocks the change, healthier coping skills and peace of mind we are seeking. I work in a trauma-informed way, explaining how our stress symptoms show up in our bodies, inviting us to consider how our development and history might be affecting how well we are coping in the here-and-now.

I am a fully qualified Psychotherapist, a Certified Transactional Analyst in Psychotherapy and am a qualified Psychotherapeutic Counsellor. I have several years of clinical experience and working with individuals, couples, groups and young people, offering outdoor, indoor face to face and online therapy. 

Body & Mind; I specialise in offering outdoor therapy. If working 'in, with and through' nature is something that appeals as way to help explore your understanding of yourself and relieve your emotional distress, we can discuss the option of working outdoors together. I work from landscapes offering parkland, lakes, woodland, birdlife, formal gardens & seating areas.

I work in a positive, strengths-based, creative and empowering way, in the spirit of getting to know you and to build up a safe therapeutic space together. I work by encouraging humour and valuing your individual experience. I also draw upon 10+ years experience in social work and mental health settings and 10+ further years working in the health, education and social care realm.

Transactional Analysis is a type of psychology that helps us explore how our experiences have shaped us into the person we have become. 

Discretion, empathy, compassion, professionalism and insight, I have worked in the UK and Canada with a range of client groups, including military personnel and young people; for Help for Heroes, NSPCC and YoungMinds.

I have a private therapy room, based in Northallerton. I also run group therapy sessions to help us understand how we relate to ourselves and others, promoting personal and professional development. Person-centred means your preferences, needs and values truly guide the work we do and the meaning you make. Feel free to phone me on 07395 425505 or email to see if we can work together and help you develop a way forward, stepping into your story; indoors, outdoors or online.

Warmest wishes, 

Kathryn
