How Katie works

Katie practises in a warm, respectful way and follows a person-centred approach. Sessions are led by the client and focus on the person’s own strengths and choices. The tone is collaborative and non-judgemental, with the counsellor offering steady support while people make sense of difficult feelings.

She combines person-centred work with practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and principles from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. That mix lets people talk through painful memories, try small behaviour changes, and work on values that matter to them. Katie keeps explanations simple and offers exercises you can use between sessions.

Katie holds registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, often shown as BACP. She has three years of professional practice in the United Kingdom and speaks English. Sessions are available in several online formats including video calls, phone, live chat and text messaging.

Katie aims to help clients find manageable steps toward better coping, whether the focus is on healing from trauma, improving relationships, or handling everyday stress.

How Katie blends approaches for online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and on taking steps that match a person's values. It can help when someone feels overwhelmed by anxiety, grief, or life changes. Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of sessions, with the counsellor offering non-judgemental listening and support so the client leads the pace and topics. This approach is useful for building self-worth and exploring personal resources. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together and offers simple practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, mood concerns and sleep or eating problems.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Katie will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and will adjust methods as those goals become clearer. The process is collaborative and paced to suit the individual’s needs.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging makes it easier to fit counselling into a busy life. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when lower bandwidth is needed, live chat suits short check-ins and text messaging can support ongoing reflection between sessions. These options offer flexibility and make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving or health demands.

A practical next step

Write down two things you would want to be different in six months. That is the most useful thing to bring to a first session, whoever it is with. If you would rather start now than keep reading, online sessions are the quickest route.
