About me
I help people recover from stress, trauma, neurodiversity-related challenges, women’s health issues, and chronic health conditions through holistic, trauma-informed therapy that restores balance to both mind and body. My work supports people in regaining a sense of self and inner stability, so they can reconnect, feel whole, and thrive in life — not just cope.
I’m Dr Katy Jackson, a Chartered Psychologist and Psychotherapist with more than 30 years of clinical experience. My approach bridges psychology, neuroscience, and somatic awareness, combining evidence-based methods with an understanding of how our physical, emotional, and relational worlds are deeply interconnected.
I work with adults experiencing trauma, anxiety, burnout, neurodiversity (ADHD and autism), women’s health concerns, and the complex relationship between mental wellbeing and the body. Many of my clients come to me after difficult or incomplete experiences of therapy, seeking a deeper, more integrative approach that honours both science and lived experience.
My practice draws on EMDR, somatic and polyvagal-informed therapy, mindfulness, and relational psychology, always tailored to the person in front of me. The aim is to help you feel safe, connected, and more in tune with yourself — not only to understand your patterns, but to regulate, rebuild, and grow with confidence.
Alongside my private practice, I’m part of specialist teams at HCA Healthcare UK, developing integrative approaches in women’s health, neurodiversity, and digestive wellbeing. I also provide clinical supervision, workshops, and neurodiversity coaching for individuals and organisations.
My approach is warm, grounded, and collaborative — offering a compassionate space to explore what’s happening in your life with curiosity and care. Therapy with me is not about fixing what’s broken, but about reconnecting to the parts of you that already know how to heal.
Sessions last 50 minutes and cost £110, currently available online.

My background in Complementary and Chinese Medicine and Yoga continues to inform my approach. I view health as an interconnected web — encompassing physical, emotional, relational, and spiritual dimensions. This belief underpins my commitment to helping clients heal in a way that feels integrative, compassionate, and empowering.
Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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.
