With experience supporting people through relationship difficulties, self-harm, self-esteem struggles, anxiety and depression, Kate specialises in bereavement and loss. Her background equips her to work with a range of emotional and interpersonal challenges while keeping the client’s goals and pace central to the work.

Her therapeutic style emphasises a calm, non-judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored openly. Kate’s practice is integrative, combining Person-centred, Psychodynamic and Existential approaches so sessions can be tailored to each person’s needs. The Person-centred approach sits at the heart of her work - the client remains at the centre of the process, deciding what to bring and moving at a pace that feels right for them.

Recognising that reaching out for support is a courageous first step, Kate aims to support and empower people as they pursue a more fulfilling and balanced life. She welcomes those ready to begin that journey and looks forward to working alongside them.

Therapeutic approaches and accessible online care

Kate draws on Client-Centred Therapy to place the person at the heart of each session - this approach creates space for clients to lead the conversation, helping with issues like low self-esteem, relationship concerns and the emotional work of bereavement. Existential Therapy is used to explore meaning, choice and values when clients face life transitions or questions about purpose; it supports people wrestling with uncertainty and major change. Psychodynamic Therapy helps uncover patterns rooted in past experiences that affect current emotions and relationships, making it useful for longer-standing relationship difficulties and recurring emotional themes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kate works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the style of therapy as the work evolves so clients feel involved and supported in choosing the path forward.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled by video call, by phone, or through live chat and text-based messaging to suit different circumstances and comfort levels. These options make therapy more accessible for people managing busy lives, caregiving responsibilities or geographical distance, while preserving the collaborative and person-focused nature of the work.
