About me
I’m Katie, a Psychotherapist, Play Therapist (BAPT Registered), Supervisor and Counselling Lecturer based in Swansea. I offer therapy to adults, children, and families.
My approach is relational, embodied, and rooted in the present moment. Gestalt therapy sits at the heart of how I work, an approach that values awareness, creativity, and connection to the whole of your experience, thoughts, feelings, body, and relationships.
You can expect a warm, accepting, and non-judgemental space where whatever you bring is met with care and curiosity. This is a place where vulnerability and authenticity is welcome, and where your experience can unfold at a pace that feels right for you.
I have particular experience in working with trauma and attachment, and I’m passionate about helping people reconnect with parts of themselves that may have been hidden, silenced, or left behind.
Together, we may explore relational dynamics, how you relate to others, to yourself, and how these patterns might be playing out in the therapy or supervision space. I offer challenge, always with compassion and a deep trust in the process.
My work is creative and playful, with children and adults alike. With children, I use play and expressive therapies to support emotional expression and healing. With adults, sessions often include body awareness, creative process, and exploring the therapeutic relationship as a space for growth.
I also support parents to explore connection with their children through play and relational repair, helping to rebuild or deepen bonds where needed.
Alongside my clinical work, I co-direct Family and Therapy CIC and teach on a counselling training programme. I’m fully insured, DBS checked, and an Accredited Registrant with the NCPS and the BAPT.
