About Kitty

She draws on seven years of clinical experience to offer tools that change unhelpful thinking patterns. Kitty uses a mix of approaches to help people understand their triggers and learn actions that feel doable day to day.
How Kitty works
Sessions are collaborative and paced to suit individual needs. People come to Kitty for help with stress, anxiety and low mood. She also supports those facing relationship strains, grief, parenting pressures and workplace stress.
Other areas she addresses include trauma and abuse, self-esteem, anger and compassion fatigue. Kitty also works with concerns such as body image, chronic pain or illness, divorce and separation, and difficulties with guilt and shame. She supports people dealing with obsessive thoughts, panic attacks, phobias, post-traumatic stress, pregnancy and childbirth challenges, and seasonal mood shifts.
Her approach is straightforward and supportive. Sessions aim to identify patterns, try out new coping skills, and build routines that stick. Kitty encourages small changes that add up to meaningful progress.
To begin someone chooses a suitable session format and talks through priorities in early meetings. From there Kitty helps set goals and reviews what is working, adjusting the plan as needed.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches suited to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, focuses on learning to live with difficult thoughts while moving towards what matters. It uses acceptance, mindfulness and value-based goals to reduce the impact of anxiety and rumination. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns and manage low mood or panic. Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the work, offering non-judgemental listening and support so people can explore their concerns at their own pace.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kitty works collaboratively to identify which methods feel most helpful based on a person's goals, history and preferences. She adapts techniques over time and checks in regularly to ensure the plan still fits how someone is coping and what they want to achieve.
Online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging offer flexibility for different needs. Video calls let people use visual cues and mirror in-person sessions, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and text or live chat can suit those who prefer writing or want brief support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments.
