About me
Who do you turn to when you can't turn to anyone?
Getting through the day and actually feeling okay aren't always the same thing. You can keep going, meet expectations and carry on with everyday life while struggling with things beneath the surface. Counselling offers somewhere to explore what's happening, understand its impact and consider what you need.
I'm Katie, a person-centred counsellor. I believe every person deserves to be heard and understood as an individual. My approach is gentle and relational, built around developing trust and understanding. I won't tell you how to feel or what decisions to make. Instead, I'll work alongside you, helping you explore your experiences, recognise the impact they have had and make sense of what you're going through. There is room for difficult conversations, uncertainty and silence.
I work with adults experiencing difficulties such as trauma, anxiety, grief and loss, burnout, loneliness and periods of change or transition. I also have an interest in and experience supporting neurodivergent adults and adults with learning disabilities.
My professional background includes construction, sales and community support, where I've gained experience working with people affected by isolation, trauma and difficulties with connection and confidence. I've also worked with adults with learning disabilities, both individually and in groups.
If you're considering counselling, I offer a free introductory call of up to 30 minutes. This gives us time to talk about what's brought you to counselling, for you to ask questions and to get a feel for whether I'm the right counsellor for you. Finding someone you feel comfortable working with matters, and there's no obligation to continue after the call.
I work with adults aged 18 and over, offering individual counselling in person in Falmouth, as well as online and telephone sessions. Each counselling session lasts 50 minutes, with an additional 10 minutes at the end to reflect on the session and consider next steps.
If you feel ready to take that first step, you’re very welcome to get in touch and arrange a free introductory call. I’d be happy to hear from you.

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.
