Hello, I’m Kat, and I’m here to guide you on your journey toward healing and growth. At the heart of my approach is a deep belief in the power of connection. I see the therapeutic relationship as a collaborative partnership where you are the expert on your life, and together we can uncover meaningful insights. The path to lasting change is built on trust, respect, and understanding—values I hold central in our work together. In our sessions, you will find a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your challenges, reflect on their deeper meanings, and discover new ways to move forward.

I am experienced in helping clients to deal with anxiety, relationships, trauma, motivational difficulties and questions of purpose and meaning. Clients may also be struggling with feelings about self and about others. Often these feelings can be traced back into childhood experiences which have not been properly processed. Much of my work is helping clients to relieve a sense of being trapped by unhelpful patterns of emotional response and behaviours. Together, we can process past experiences in order to better see the way forward.

You may have tried to find ways of coping with difficult feelings and events but still have not found the satisfaction you seek. If you have an issue that needs resolving, it may help having someone outside the situation. I work with people who want to explore further any sense of feeling stuck, dissatisfied, unhappy or being in repeated patterns. Together we work out what helps or does not so that you can support yourself to feel better and move on. I understand you want to choose the best person for you and I welcome enquiries. I work in Whitchurch, South Bristol, and currently work On-Line or by telephone in the UK.

January 2025 I am now taking on new clients All of us have times in our lives when we feel the need for some extra support. Perhaps we are lacking confidence and self-esteem, going through relationship difficulties, feeling depressed, anxious, experiencing stressful life changes such as bereavement, divorce, or redundancy. Perhaps now is the right time to address long-standing issues – or maybe we find ourselves at a crossroads and feel unsure of ourselves and of which way to turn.

Are you suffering with anxiety, panic, depression, stress? Having relationship problems? Struggling with low confidence or self-esteem? Are you angry, irritable, short-tempered, or generally unhappy? Is your mind full of negativity that just doesn't go away? Confused, lost, overwhelmed, unable to concentrate or make decisions? Perhaps you could benefit from professional help. Asking for help is sometimes hard to do - perhaps you see this as a sign of weakness or failure. Sometimes we can't solve everything on our own. It's OK to ask for help. Admitting you have a problem is a sign of strength.
