Working with Kathryn is fantastic. We make progress in every session. The sessions flow naturally, but we always summarise at the end. I feel like I can be totally honest with her. The improvements in my life since starting these sessions have been massive.

I would highly recommend Kathryn as a therapist. She listened without judgement. I found her easy to talk to. I felt she was someone I could trust at a time when I felt I couldn’t discuss my issues with family or close friends. I had some one who was there for me when I needed support. I feel more able as a result of my therapy to manage problems that I might come across in the future. I can look at things in different ways and have more confidence in myself.
More about Kathryn
- 7 years' experience
- Female
- BACP
I am an experienced Integrative Counsellor & Psychotherapist with over seven years’ practice in both paid and voluntary roles, supporting clients through some of life’s most challenging experiences. My work includes helping women and partners following the permanent removal of a child, suicide prevention and postvention, and supporting those navigating grief, loss, and trauma.
Known for my calm, non-judgemental presence, I attune to both spoken and unspoken needs, creating a safe and comfortable space where trust can grow. I take an integrative approach, drawing on the therapeutic methods most suited to each individual, including Person-Centred, Psychodynamic, Relational, CBT, and existential perspectives. My client work spans a wide range of issues, including bereavement by suicide or dementia, stress, anxiety, depression, and complex trauma.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
