Katja Brodt de Sousa

Katja Brodt de Sousa is a counsellor and psychotherapist with BACP accreditation. She offers a calm, direct approach to help people who feel stuck by stress, anxiety, depression or relationship pain. She speaks English and German and works from the United Kingdom.

Katja helps people notice the thoughts and behaviours that get in the way of closer relationships and a steadier mood. She focuses on practical changes that reduce shame, self-doubt and isolation. Sessions aim to strengthen connection to oneself as much as to others.

Her work draws on several approaches and is tailored to each person. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to spot and shift unhelpful thinking. Client-Centred techniques create space for people to be heard and accepted. Attachment-based ideas are used when early relationship patterns affect current life.

She has around 18 years of experience in private practice, supporting clients with grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, intimacy issues, sleeping problems, anger, career concerns and ADHD. Katja also works with themes such as abandonment, codependency, body image and fatherhood issues.

Her method is collaborative and straightforward. People who prefer clear ideas about what to try, alongside time to make sense of feelings, often find this approach helpful. To begin, visitors follow the site’s Start Therapy process and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

Katja’s BACP credential is shown as provided by the therapist and she lists work across depression, relationship breakdown and infidelity among her areas of practice.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship experiences shape current patterns. It helps when someone struggles with trust, abandonment fears or recurring relationship cycles by naming patterns and experimenting with new ways of relating. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and acceptance, giving people room to describe their experience while the counsellor reflects it back to support clearer self-understanding. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thoughts and tries practical experiments to change them, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adapt techniques together. That collaborative process helps people find an approach they can use between sessions as well as during them.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and the ability to meet from different locations.
