Background and approach

Her background includes long experience leading teams and supporting colleagues in large organisations. That experience informs her approach to workplace stress, career questions and the pressures of leadership. She also supports people facing relationship strain, addiction concerns, trauma and bereavement.

Kathryn blends client-centred work with cognitive techniques and emotionally focused ways of working. She also draws on somatic and mindfulness practices to help with physical tension and grounding. Sessions are tailored to each person’s needs and preferences.

She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and works from the United Kingdom. Kathryn offers therapy and coaching online in English for people in different countries. Her practice emphasizes practical steps alongside emotional understanding.

To begin she asks new clients a few questions to match goals and practicalities. From there she and the client agree on a plan that can change over time as needs evolve.

How Kathryn’s approaches work online

Somatic-informed work focuses on bodily sensations and how the body holds stress. It can help people notice tension, grounding and physical responses linked to anxiety, trauma or overwhelm. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises listening and reflecting back what matters to the person, giving space for self-directed insight and emotional safety. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and helps people try practical steps to change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Kathryn will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then adapt techniques together. That collaborative process helps shape sessions so they fit each person’s needs and pace.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls provide face-to-face connection when that helps. Phone sessions suit those who prefer voice only. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping the therapeutic focus consistent.
