Hi, I'm Katie. I work with individuals who feel weighed down by the roles they play—the 'strong one', the selfless Carer, or the tireless professional. Those who visit me often feel a quiet, heavy resentment they’re afraid to admit aloud, maybe through a caring role changing their relationship, or when the mask of keeping it all together starts to crack, leading to burnout, anxiety, or a loss of self. Together, we move forward by exploring the parts of you that have been sidelined. We look at both symptoms and the roots of your exhaustion to help you reclaim a life that feels honest, sustainable & without societal expectations.
With an MSc in Psychology and Diploma in Counselling, I understand the balance between data and theory, but believe true healing only begins when we're truly seen. Therefore I work relationally - our relationship is a place to strengthen your boundaries and explore all the parts of yourself you're ashamed or scared of and integrate them with acceptance.
It's a scary thing to break free from roles that no longer serve you. I've spent over 9 years working for carer organisations and understand the expectations placed on Carers, as well as lived experience. There is no expectation here, and no judgement, just a safe, trauma-informed, space for you to breathe, grieve and be your authentic self.

Working integratively means some days we'll look at psychoeducation, sometimes healthy coping mechanisms, and others at exploring what lead to this point - what have our relationships looked like throughout our life. Much of the healing comes from our therapeutic relationship - allowing you space to explore boundaries safely. We adjust to your pace and generally move deeper as therapy progresses.

I work integratively; blending humanistic, cognitive and psychodynamic trainings to adapt to what you need in our sessions, whether that's coping mechanisms or relationship support. Overall my approach is relational - we safely explore how you feel with your place in the world & where that placement derives from. We explore how relationships play out and what we might be avoiding or scared of.
