Hello, I’m Katie
I’m a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy
(BACP) and a qualified Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist since 2020.
I began my career as a Physiotherapist, where I developed a deep appreciation for person- centred care. Through my work, I saw how powerful it can be to offer a non-judgemental space where people feel truly heard and understood. By listening closely to my clients and recognising their experiences of pain, I found that they often recovered more effectively and experienced better outcomes.
Since qualifying as a counsellor, I have worked with local charities and universities across the city, providing psychotherapeutic and wellbeing support.
How I Work
As an Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist, I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches to suit your individual needs. If you’d like to learn more about integrative therapy, you can visit the BACP website. (Link)
My work is rooted in a person-centred approach. I aim to provide a safe, supportive space where you can be open and honest, without fear of judgement. I encourage self-reflection and will support you in connecting with your inner thoughts and feelings. This can help you better understand yourself, your needs, and your strengths.
I also work somatically, meaning we pay attention to your body and what it may be communicating. By tuning into physical sensations and bringing awareness to the present moment, we can begin to uncover and understand messages that may have been overlooked or held beneath the surface.

I work with adults aged 18 and over, supporting a range of concerns, including:
Low mood, lack of motivation, and depression
Anxiety and related conditions (including OCD, panic, and excessive worry)

What Happens Next
Starting therapy can feel daunting, and it’s completely natural to feel anxious or unsure.
Our first session is an opportunity for us to meet and get to know each other. We’ll talk about what has brought you to therapy, what you’re hoping for, and how I work. This session also includes an initial assessment and a discussion about confidentiality. Together, we can decide whether I’m the right fit for you.
