About Kathleen

Kathleen Forrester is a BACP-accredited integrative therapist with 4 years of client-facing experience. She works with a broad range of concerns and has completed specialist training in Adoption Support Counselling, EMDR Therapy and CBT counselling, alongside focused work with young people aged 11 to 21.

Her approach centers on creating a space where people feel understood, valued and less alone, while also supporting the practical development of strategies to navigate life and its changes. She balances empathic listening with collaborative planning so that therapy can reflect both exploration and action depending on what each person needs.

Sessions typically take one of two forms. One is reflective and exploratory, offering time to examine past experiences, current struggles or hopes for the future. The other is more goal oriented and structured, concentrating on planning, addressing negative self-beliefs and reducing insecurities at a pace that suits the client. Throughout, Kathleen adapts her methods to match individual preferences and goals.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a compassionate, non-directive stance in which the therapist offers understanding and support while the client leads the pace and focus of sessions. This approach helps people build self-awareness, confidence and a stronger sense of autonomy as they work through personal concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, structured method that explores the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviors. It is often used to address anxiety, low mood and unhelpful thinking patterns by developing clear strategies and skills for managing difficult situations.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a therapeutic method used to help process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity. It can be particularly helpful for those who find past events continue to affect their daily life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Kathleen works collaboratively with each person to find the best fit based on their needs, goals and preferences. She partners with clients to adapt methods over time so therapy remains relevant and effective.

Online sessions delivered by licensed professionals offer flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, manage care from home, and maintain continuity of support when in-person meetings are not possible.
