About me
A space to understand, reconnect and find a way forward.
I believe we all deserve to be heard, understood and supported to live a life that feels fulfilling and right for us.
Whether you’re looking for support as an individual, navigating difficulties within your relationship, or seeking counselling for your child or teenager, I offer a safe, supportive and non-judgemental space to explore feelings, thoughts and experiences and find a way forward that feels right for you.
How I Can Help
Individual Counselling
Sometimes life can feel overwhelming. You might be experiencing anxiety, grief or loss, struggling with self-confidence, exploring your identity, navigating life with ADHD or other neurodivergent needs, or facing a significant life change.
Perhaps there isn’t one particular reason you feel this way, just a sense that something isn’t quite right or that you’re feeling stuck.
Holding difficult feelings and thoughts alone can be a heavy burden. Counselling offers a confidential space where you can share that weight for a while.
Together, we can explore what’s happening, or what has happened, at your own pace and in your own words. We can begin to make sense of your experiences and consider what moving forward might look like for you.
The space is yours. My role is to listen, understand your perspective and work alongside you with warmth, respect and honesty.
Couples and Relationship Counselling
Relationships can be rewarding, but they can also be challenging.
You might feel disconnected from your partner, find yourselves having the same arguments, struggle to communicate or feel unsure how to move forward together. Perhaps something has changed, trust has been affected, or you simply want to understand one another better.
Couples/Relationship counselling offers an opportunity to pause, explore what’s happening between you and begin to make sense of things together.
Depending on what feels important to you both, we may explore areas such as communication, trust, intimacy, managing conflict and rebuilding connection.
For some couples, the decision to separate has already been made. Counselling can offer space to work through difficult feelings and explore how to move forward in a way that is as respectful and amicable as possible.
My aim is to understand both of you and your relationship, supporting you to explore what matters and consider a way forward.
Children and Young People
Growing up can bring challenges that children and young people may find difficult to understand or express.
If you’re seeking counselling for your child, I understand how important it is that they feel comfortable, safe and able to be themselves.
Through my work supporting children and young people, I have developed an understanding of how to engage with them in ways that feel relaxed, supportive and sometimes even fun.
I like to use creative approaches to help children and young people explore their feelings, thoughts and experiences in ways that feel natural to them.
Sessions are guided by their individual needs, allowing them time and space to develop a greater understanding of themselves and what they may be experiencing.
I offer counselling for children 8yrs and over, with sessions available in Malvern and Worcester.
A Little About Me
I have over 20 years’ experience supporting adults, families, children and young people, often during times of crisis, uncertainty and significant change.
This has given me a broad understanding of the challenges people face and the impact these can have on individuals, relationships and family life.
As a person-centred counsellor, I believe that feeling heard and understood can be an important starting point for change. I aim to provide a space where you feel able to explore your experiences without judgement, at your own pace and in your own words.
Alongside my counselling work, I bring experience in professional coaching. I can also support you with career development, workplace challenges and questions about your future, should these be relevant to you.
I hold qualifications in counselling, alongside qualifications in Early Years, Management and Leadership, and Insights profiling. My additional training includes Solution Focused Approaches, Attachment, Transactional Analysis, Coaching, Relationship Dynamics, Parental Conflict, Domestic Abuse and Parenting.
I enjoy spending time outdoors, and this is something I bring into my practice by in addition to in-person and online sessions, offering walk-and-talk counselling for adults, providing an alternative to meeting in a traditional counselling room.
I believe meaningful change begins with feeling heard and understood. I will work alongside you with warmth, respect and honesty, helping you explore your experiences and find a way forward that feels right for you.
What Can You Expect From Sessions?
My approach is person-centred, which means our sessions focus on you, your experiences and what feels important to you.
You don’t need to have all the answers before you begin. You may come with something specific you want to explore, or simply a feeling that something isn’t right.
Together, we can begin to explore what’s happening, make sense of your experiences and consider what you might need.
I won’t tell you how to live your life or assume I know what’s best for you. Instead, I will listen, support you to explore your perspective and help you discover what feels right for you.
How Sessions Take Place
Sessions are available:
Face-to-face
Online by video- Google meet, Teams and Whatsapp
By telephone
Walk-and-talk for adults
How Often Will We Meet?
The frequency and number of sessions are flexible and can be discussed together.
Sessions can take place weekly, fortnightly or monthly. There is no set minimum or maximum number of sessions; what matters is that we regularly consider whether counselling is meeting your needs.
Taking the First Step
I recognise that reaching out for support can feel daunting. It can take courage to acknowledge that things aren’t as you would like them to be and to consider talking to someone about them.
To help make that first step easier, I offer a free introductory call of up to 30 minutes.
This is an opportunity for you to ask any questions, share a little about what’s brought you to counselling, if you feel comfortable doing so, and consider whether working together feels right for you.
I’ll ask a few questions about your situation and what you hope to gain from counselling. It’s absolutely fine if you’re not sure yet. Sometimes, at this stage, you simply know that you want something to change.
There is no pressure to commit to sessions. The call is an opportunity for us to explore whether I may be the right counsellor for you and your needs.

Former Client Feedback
“Kate approached our sessions with complete understanding, warmth and made me feel incredibly safe, which is something I have not felt for a long time. We worked through things, some of which I had not even recognised were triggers for my anxiety. As a result of my sessions with Kate, I have more confidence in myself and my decisions…”

Member organisations
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.
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).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

Further information
My counselling approach enables me to offer sessions in a number of ways.
Telephone or Online - sessions from the comfort of your own home or a location which feels practical and safe for you to talk.
In person -Prefer to talk in person or want to be able to step into calm, quiet space. I have a therapy room based at my home in Malvern as well as rooms I am able to book in Worcester to provide this.
Walk and Talk - Often we can find it easier to share when we are walking and the focus feels less intensely on ourself. I am able to provide this in Worcester and Malvern.
Sessions are 50mins.
Walk and Talk sessions can be a mix of walking and face to face within a therapy room .
I offer long term counselling as well as shorter and single session therapy.
I believe it is your therapy, your choice in what method feels right for you.
