Welcome. There are times when something is troubling you and you are unable to think about and work through those issues on your own. It is never easy to ask for help and perhaps you have been struggling with issues and painful feelings for a while. I can provide a professional and safe environment in which you can speak openly and confidentially about whatever is on your mind. I am trained to listen to you in a way that can help you recognise the source of your present difficulties, which may be rooted in the past. This process can offer the possibility of long lasting change.

Hello, I'm Kate. I offer 1:1 counselling to adults. This can be short or long term depending on your needs. I work face to face in Cheltenham or online via Zoom. I offer a warm, supportive and confidential space to explore your feelings, thoughts and experiences. Counselling can help you to look at a particular issue that is worrying you, to make sense of difficult feelings, to explore deeply rooted issues, or simply to understand yourself better. I work with clients on many issues including anxiety, depression, grief and loss, low self-esteem, feeling stuck and unmotivated, questions of identity, and adapting to life changes.

Firstly I am here for YOU! You may find that you are struggling to believe in yourself? Or that your inner-confidence is on the floor and belief in your own abilities is suffering. You may feel you struggle to see yourself in a positive light, and to value yourself. Are you always putting other people’s feelings and needs before your own? Are your wants and needs at the very bottom of the priority list? Do you find it difficult to try new things or to take risks? You may find you try and hide certain aspects of your personality, so that people don’t see the real you?

At times we all feel like we’ve lost hope. The hope that things can improve, the hope our distress will reduce and the hope that we’ll feel less alone. But that hope is never gone for good, and we just need someone to help us find it again. Whether you are struggling with stress, relationship difficulties, past trauma, anxiety, depression or things that you just can’t make sense of, I can help. At times I will guide you, but most importantly I endeavour to support and empower you to take control of your own mental health and instil a renewed sense of hope and emotional wellbeing in a safe and compassionate space.

I recognise that life is a journey that can sometimes be a struggle. Life in this modern world is often chaotic, stressful and moves at such a fast pace, yet our reptilian brains are still designed to deal with cave man threats. This can lead to our bodies being flooded with fight, flight or freeze responses. In time these can build and lead to conditions such as anxiety, depression and low level trauma if not dealt with correctly. Having the support to help you through is not always easy to find.

Together we can unravel thoughts and feelings that might feel really heavy and complex, at a pace that feels safe to you. Each new session is an opportunity for you to go wherever you need to. My role as your counsellor is to encourage you to reflect and help you to connect the dots in an empathic, non judgmental way, to explore and make sense of your inner world which may be reflected in repetitive behaviour patterns that can feel so out of our control. Sessions begin in an opened ended, non structured way to allow space for you to bring what it is you need at that time.

The decision to begin therapy is a very individual one that may come about after long and careful consideration, or perhaps be triggered by an event. I appreciate that it is fundamentally a choice for things to change, a bid for greater understanding and a desire for personal growth. I am an accredited adult psychotherapist. I have been attending to mental health and well-being concerns for over 24 years. In this I have accompanied people of different ages and life stages as they address all sorts of issues. These may be specific concerns, demanding circumstances and events, or the desire to be free, more true to themselves.

Is online therapy a good option?

To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your postcode.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counsellor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counsellors are all licensed mental health professionals. In many countries, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counsellor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counsellors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counsellor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counselling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
