Kathryn Sherfield , NCPS

Kathryn Sherfield is a fully qualified counsellor who offers both short-term and long-term therapy tailored to a wide variety of needs. She adapts sessions to fit each person, working in a sensitive, non-judgemental manner and bringing warmth and empathy to the therapeutic relationship. Kathryn draws on several counselling models to build rapport and respond to individual concerns, helping clients explore their experiences and develop practical strategies that feel right for them.

She holds a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling (CPCAB), a qualification in therapeutic counselling, and is a registered and accredited member of the NCPS (The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society). Her main approach is person-centred therapy - a way of working that focuses on providing a supportive space for clients to increase self-awareness and find their own solutions - while she also integrates other modalities when they suit a person’s needs.

Kathryn aims to help people increase self-worth and confidence, and to leave therapy with tools to cope with future challenges. She values trust and mutual respect and commits to being available for reliable support, treating clients as equals, and working professionally and ethically. Sessions are 45 minutes, start and end on time, and are conducted with clear professional boundaries. Kathryn also offers couples work, listening to both partners, mediating when helpful, and supporting couples to repair or to separate with respect where needed.

Therapeutic approaches and online support with Kathryn Sherfield

Kathryn works primarily from a client-centred perspective, creating a respectful, empathetic space where the client’s own goals and insights guide the work. This approach helps people who want a collaborative, supportive environment to explore feelings, identity, relationships, and self-worth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and gently challenge unhelpful thinking patterns and to develop practical coping strategies for issues such as anxiety, low mood, and stress. Mindfulness therapy offers straightforward techniques to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, which can be useful for stress, emotional regulation, and trauma-related symptoms.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Kathryn will work collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts her style and blends approaches as required so that therapy feels relevant and achievable.

Online therapy with Kathryn is available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different lifestyles and schedules. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home, and fit sessions around work, family, and other commitments while working with a licensed professional.
