I’m Kate, an MBACP-registered counsellor and Level 5 attachment and trauma specialist offering online therapy across the UK. I support adults who feel anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in repeating relationship patterns, often struggling with shame, low self-esteem, or emotional exhaustion. My approach is person-centred, attachment-based, and trauma-informed, helping you understand deeper patterns and build self-compassion and healthier relationships. I offer a calm, supportive space where you can feel heard and understood. You’re very welcome to get in touch when ready.
I specialise in attachment-based and trauma-informed counselling, supporting adults experiencing anxiety, overwhelm, shame, and repeating patterns. I also work with low self-esteem, OCD, addiction, grief, and neurodiversity. I offer a calm, supportive space to explore emotions, understand patterns, and build self-compassion and healthier relationships.
I offer a warm, non-judgemental space where you can feel heard, understood, and less alone with what you’re carrying. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck in patterns, or struggling with anxiety, shame, or relationships, you don’t have to face it on your own. When you feel ready, you’re very welcome to reach out and take the first step.
