About me
Hello & Welcome!
I am Katrina, and I am a qualified counsellor with 9 years of counselling training and experience. I have worked in private practice and mental health organisations across Bristol.
I am based at St Michael’s Centre, Stoke Gifford, North Bristol. I offer counselling sessions in-person, online, and by telephone.
I offer a no obligation FREE 20min Initial Call. Welcome to contact me or book online.
I am a Registered Member of both the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS), and I follow the ethical frameworks of both organisations.
A Flexible, Personalised Approach
I provide open-ended, one-to-one counselling using an Integrative Approach, with the foundations of my practice rooted in Humanistic, Person-Centred therapy. This warm and non-directive approach allows you to set the pace, while we explore your thoughts and feelings together in a safe and supportive space.
As an integrative therapist, I draw on a variety of approaches to tailor sessions to your individual needs. For example, we may use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques to help manage anxiety, or adopt more creative methods if that feels like the right path for you.
A Safe, Supportive Space for Self-Discovery and Growth
Life can sometimes feel overwhelming and directionless. You may feel lost or unsure how to cope with what you are experiencing. You don’t have to go through it alone I am here to support you. I will create a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental space where you can feel heard and understood. Together, we will explore your thoughts and feelings, helping you process your experiences and find your way forward.
- Perhaps you are in a relationship that feels off but you can’t quite say why.
- Maybe you’re in a job that leaves you uninspired and unsure of what’s next.
- Perhaps life feels like it’s on autopilot, predictable yet hollow.
- Or you find yourself quietly asking, “Who am I?”
You are not alone in feeling this way.
In a world that often tells us who to be, how to act, and what we should want, it’s easy to lose touch with your true self. My role is to walk alongside you without judgement or expectation and help you reconnect with who you are and what you want. Together, we can explore what brings you meaning and support you in creating a life that feels more aligned and fulfilling.
I view counselling as a journey of self-discovery, a journey to find the ‘Key to You.’
Areas I can support with
In my work, I have supported clients with a wide range of issues, including (but not limited to) anxiety, stress, relationship issues, bereavement, pet bereavement, family or friend dynamic issues, student support, burnout, low self-worth/ self-esteem, low confidence, understanding sexuality, career direction etc... I have particular experience supporting people who feel ‘stuck’ in life and those with dyslexia, understanding how it can impact self-esteem, confidence, and day-to-day life.

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.
