Hello, my name is Kat and I am a fully qualified Integrative Counsellor. If you find you are struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, low confidence, relationship issues or anything else that you would like to talk about with someone in a safe, non-judgmental space, then counselling can be very helpful. I offer both long and short term counselling, working at your own pace to offer a safe space for you to explore what is troubling you. I believe that the relationship between counsellor and client is a very important aspect to the therapeutic experience and so building a trusting therapeutic relationship is part of the process.

Do you feel fearful, anxious, confused or somehow stuck in your life? Allowing yourself to step out of life into a safe space where there are no expectations of you and no judgement can be very freeing and can give you the chance to start seeing things differently and maybe finding ways to change those things in your life that don't feel good. Establishing a safe relationship with a therapist who “gets you” can be the beginning of a new way of being and of living the life you so deserve. Empower yourself with a deeper awareness of who you are and who you could become – therapy is the key to this.

By talking to a qualified counsellor, someone that is impartial, can offer, you a first step to positive change, along with an increased self-awareness and acceptance of yourself and develop relationships with others.

There are times in life when we need help. When we feel overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, sad. Situations we are unable to make sense of. I offer an initial free consultation. This gives you the opportunity to find out about the therapy I offer. Research suggests that the therapeutic relationship itself is more important for a good out come than a particular type of therapy. This means that I am going to help you feel safe, accepted and treated with respect and perhaps challenge you in a positive and constructive way, then you are more likely to make good use of our sessions.

Do you just want to talk to someone? We all have times in our lives when we struggle with our relationships and issues such as stress, anxiety, bereavement, loss, or lack of belief in ourselves. Exploring these in a safe, confidential, non-judgemental space can be very beneficial and can bring about change. I offer this space from my background as a family law Barrister for I1 years, helping people facing the most stressful of family situations and also from my experience counselling clients struggling with issues relating to their current situation or stemming from past relationships or experiences, including bereavement and loss.

I have a warm, empathic and supportive counselling style. As a relational therapist I place the client – counsellor relationship at the centre of the therapeutic work. Counselling is confidential, collaborative, and clients always have autonomy over the direction and duration of their therapy. I work with adults and young people aged 16 plus in person from safe and comfortable therapy rooms in Henley on Thames. I am experienced in working with a range of emotional and psychological difficulties but many clients come to see me for help and support in navigating difficult feelings and life stages.

With a loud voice, life sometimes cranks up the volume of what already feels overwhelming. Magnifying an already tense and intense situation, leaving you pondering on how you used to manage before all this. Yet, despite your best efforts to stem their flow, fraught thoughts and debilitating feelings have began to spill over into and onto other areas of your life. It feels like challenging situations scream for your attention. You wonder to yourself how much more of this you can take before you flip the table of your life over. You've taken stock of your support system. Nobody available to talk. Who will listen to me, you wonder....

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online or over the phone can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. 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.
