Kat Wright

You're used to solving problems. You run a business, a household, sometimes both, and when something goes wrong, you work out how to fix it. That's what you do.

So when you hit something you can't fix, no matter how many articles you've read or systems you've tried, it throws you. That's often what brings women to me: not knowing what else to do, after trying everything they can think of.

Who I help

I work with women who are used to running things, businesses, households, family life, and who've spent years being the one everyone relies on.

At work. At home. For a partner. For children who need more from her than she expected. For parents who are getting older and need more too.

Many of my clients are undiagnosed neurodivergent, or come to wonder about this after a child's diagnosis. Maybe you're neurodivergent and didn't know, something that only occurs to a lot of women once their child is diagnosed and the penny starts to drop about themselves too.

The struggles that bring people to therapy

Often it's a child's education, or their behaviour, that's the pressure point. Sleepless nights. Hypervigilance that doesn't switch off even when the house is quiet. A sense that you're carrying everything, and that if you stopped, it would all fall apart.

Underneath that sits a fear of failing as a parent, and a voice that says you should be able to manage this. Perimenopause can make it worse. Strategies that used to work stop working, and the mask you've worn for years starts slipping at the edges.

The inner experience

Most days you just want the day to end. Then you remember tomorrow asks the same of you again.

You might look fine from the outside, together even, while inside you're burnt out from holding it together for so long you've forgotten what not holding it together feels like. There's often a particular kind of masking at play, performing calm and competence while quietly falling apart underneath. That gap is often where the shame sits. Not because you've done anything wrong. Because you've been carrying too much for so long that you've stopped noticing how much you're carrying.

What therapy with me is like

I'm told I have a calmness about me. I'm softly spoken, and clients often say that helps them settle, even in a session that's happening through a screen.

I take in your whole life, not just the part making the loudest noise this week. We might start with your child, move to your partner, then end up talking about work, because that's how life actually sits, not in neat categories. I want to understand where the friction really is, not just where it's showing up.

I'll ask questions like "how does that show up for you?" rather than telling you what you're feeling. I'll be direct when it's useful, and I might ask you what's the worst that would actually happen if you took an hour for yourself this week. Often the answer isn't what you expected.

I share what I know plainly. No jargon, no mystery about what we're doing or why. You'll always know where we are in the work.

What to expect

You don't need to have the language for what's going on before you come to me. Many clients arrive not knowing why things feel so hard, only that they do. Finding the words is often part of the work, not something you need to arrive with.

Sessions happen over Google Meet, so you can be in your own space, with your own tea, rather than finding a therapist's office across town. I also offer email therapy, for clients who find writing easier than speaking, or who want a way to process between sessions.

What changes

Therapy won't fix everything in your life. That's not what this is. But many clients notice they start trusting their own gut again, rather than always deferring to everyone else's view of what they should be doing. They start asking for what they need instead of guessing at what everyone else needs first.

Some discover, often for the first time, that they may be neurodivergent, and that this explains a great deal about why some things have always felt harder than they look from the outside. None of this means something was wrong with you to begin with. You're not broken, you've just been doing an enormous amount, quietly, for a long time.

Practical details

Sessions are fifty minutes, £65, over Google Meet. I also offer email therapy for those who prefer it. Concessions are available in certain circumstances, so do ask if cost is a worry.

I currently have availability. You can book a free 30 minute initial consultation through my online booking link, so we can get a sense of whether working together feels right before anything further.

I am available for new clients, and have spaces available for an immediate start.

Sessions are confidential, and I can provide invoices for insurance or workplace EAP schemes if needed.
