About me

Welcome! I'm Katie, and I'm here to support you on your journey towards healing and personal growth. I am offering telephone and online sessions please get in touch on kpryorcounselling@yahoo.com or message me on 07982368449.

My passion is counselling I have experience working with a wide range of complex issues, including addiction, relationship difficulties, family dynamics, anxiety, depression, grief, stress (including work-related stress), and challenges related to parenting a child with self-harm. I also work with individuals experiencing overwhelm, offering empowerment, hope, and practical strategies to regain balance.

I provide support for mental health concerns, feelings of sadness, and work with individuals managing disabilities, helping them to better cope with and navigate their condition.  However, this list is not exhaustive, as I also offer assistance in other areas of mental well-being.

My overall approach focuses on fostering resilience and promoting well-being across various life challenges.

Training, qualifications & experience

I am a qualified therapist, having completed an Integrative Counselling Master's degree and a Postgraduate Certificate in Interpersonal and Counselling Skills over a span of four years. 

As a qualified therapist, I am trained in a variety of psychotherapy techniques, which means I can adjust my approach to best suit your individual needs. This allows me to offer more personalised and effective support.

However, the key techniques I utilize in my practice is a client-focused approach, where you are in control of the direction of your sessions, and CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), which helps manages challenges by changing the way you think and behave. I also use a psychodynamic approach to explore how past experiences may influence your current feelings and actions, helping you  understand yourself better and make lasting changes.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.
