How Katie works
Sessions move at the client’s pace and focus on understanding each person’s experience rather than fitting them into a single method. Her counselling background includes three years of practice, with two years working inside NHS settings supporting doctors and other staff.
There she met people with a wide range of concerns from anxiety and depression to addiction recovery, autism, ADHD, and histories of abuse and neglect. Those roles informed her interest in how trauma affects daily life and wellbeing. In sessions Katie blends techniques from different approaches to suit each person.
She draws on client-centred listening, mindfulness skills, solution-focused tools and trauma-informed ways of working to help people manage symptoms and make decisions. The aim is practical support that fits real life. People can expect straightforward, down-to-earth conversation and gentle challenge when it helps.
Katie values collaboration and helps clients name priorities, try small experiments between sessions, and notice what changes. She works in English and accepts international clients from the United Kingdom base.

Approaches and online support that fit your life
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening without judgement and helping people find their own solutions; it is useful for low self-esteem, relationship difficulties and coping with change. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce overwhelming thoughts and anxiety and to help with sleeping and stress. Trauma-focused therapy looks at the impact of traumatic experiences and uses careful, paced work to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.Katie approaches finding the right method as a shared process. She will talk through your goals and preferences and suggest which approaches might suit you best. Over time she adapts the plan based on what helps and what doesn’t, so the work stays collaborative and practical.
Online therapy gives practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual connection, phone sessions can fit brief check-ins or low-bandwidth needs, and live chat or text-based messaging work well for shorter, more frequent contact. These formats make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving or other commitments while still getting consistent therapeutic support.
