About Katherine
Before retraining as a counsellor, Katherine worked as a paramedic for more than ten years and has continued to work with the NHS. That background informs her calm, practical approach and belief in people’s resilience when given thoughtful emotional support. She listens carefully and seeks to understand each person’s story, helping them reframe how past events affect current feelings and behaviours.
Katherine holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which is a professional organisation for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK. She offers space to share anxieties, fears and hopes, and collaborates with clients to find calmer, more hopeful ways of being. Engaging in counselling is framed as an act of courage and a process that can lead to meaningful change and healing.

Approach-Focused Online Therapy with Practical Flexibility
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns of relating and can help with difficulties such as abandonment, codependency, intimacy problems and attachment issues by exploring emotional bonds and ways to build safer connections. Client-Centered Therapy places the person’s own experience at the heart of the work; the therapist provides empathic listening and nonjudgemental support so individuals can find their own solutions for stress, low self-esteem, depression and life transitions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches practical ways to be present with thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed, which can be useful for anxiety, panic and managing compulsive or ruminative habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Katherine works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences. Registered professionals and therapists often blend approaches over time to suit the individual’s changing needs.
Online therapy with Katherine is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions around work, family and other commitments. These options increase accessibility for people living abroad or with limited local services, and they allow continuity of care whether someone is travelling, working irregular hours, or managing mobility or caregiving responsibilities.
