About Kathryn
Kathryn Partt uses an integrative approach that blends several therapeutic styles to meet each person's needs. She is a BACP counsellor with five years of practice in the United Kingdom. Kathryn writes plainly and focuses on creating an accepting space where people can say what they feel without judgement.
She often helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief and loss, or the aftermath of trauma and abuse. She also supports those facing life changes, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, career questions, and issues linked to self‑esteem and sleep.
How Kathryn works
Her work includes support around ADHD, compassion fatigue and long‑term health challenges. Sessions focus on talking through what matters to the person and trying practical ways to manage distress day to day. Kathryn draws on attachment ideas to look at relationship patterns and uses client‑centred listening to make people feel heard.
She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and to try different behaviours. Her approach is collaborative. She invites people to set goals and to test small changes between sessions.
Progress is measured in what improves for the person outside the therapy room rather than in jargon or paperwork. Kathryn aims to help people find clearer coping strategies and more stable emotional ground. She emphasises kindness in the process and supports each person at their own pace.

Online support options
Approaches that suit online therapy and practical access
Attachment‑based work looks at how early and current relationships shape emotions and reactions. It can help with intimacy, abandonment worries and repeated relationship patterns by exploring how people connect and respond to others. Client‑centred therapy focuses on listening and empathic understanding. It gives people space to tell their story at their own pace and can be useful for grief, low mood and self‑esteem concerns. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and tries different behaviours to reduce anxiety or improve sleep and mood. It is goal oriented and often includes practical exercises between sessions.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the first phase of therapy. Kathryn works collaboratively to assess needs, preferences and goals and then suggests which methods to try. The plan can be adjusted as the person notices what helps and what does not.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text‑based messaging to give flexible choices. Video is useful when body language matters, phone calls can be lower bandwidth, live chat suits short check‑ins and text messaging can support ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping the focus on practical progress.
