About Katherine
She has 20 years of experience supporting people through a wide range of life changes. That includes work and career pressures, caring responsibilities, health problems and the knock-on effects of trauma and abuse. She also helps people facing relationship strains, grief, low self-esteem and eating or body image concerns.
Katherine adapts her work to the person in front of her rather than following a fixed formula. She listens closely to how problems show up for each client and uses psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time. Alongside this she uses a Client-Centred Therapy stance to keep the session focused on the client's priorities and pace.
Practical issues such as parenting stress, compassion fatigue and chronic illness are discussed in plain terms. Katherine helps people unpack control issues, commitment worries and communication problems so they can try different choices with less self-blame. She also supports people working through divorce, separation and the emotional impact of domestic violence.
If you are unsure whether therapy will help, Katherine encourages a first step of a short matching questionnaire and an initial conversation. That makes it easier to agree goals and a way of working that fits the person's life.

How Katherine’s approaches translate to online work
Katherine uses Client-Centred Therapy and psychodynamic ideas in her practice. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and working at the client's pace; it helps when someone needs a caring space to talk through stress, low mood or relationship concerns. Psychodynamic ideas look at patterns and repeated feelings that often come from early relationships; this can be useful for understanding attachment, abandonment fears and long-standing emotional patterns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Katherine will discuss your goals and what matters to you, and then suggest ways of working that match those goals. The decision is collaborative so the approach can shift if something else would suit better as therapy progresses.
Practical online benefits often include fitting sessions around work, caring duties or health appointments, and having therapy without travel time. Because the biography does not specify session formats, please confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online talking helps them stay consistent with appointments and makes it easier to slot a session into an otherwise busy week.
