Hello, I’m Kathleen, a Drama & Movement Psychotherapist (HCPC). I have a therapy room in Norwich city centre. I also offer Online Therapy and Walk & Talk sessions across Norfolk. People seek therapy for many different reasons. I am non-judgemental, compassionate and adaptable. I tailor my approach to best suit the needs of each individual client. Some people prefer to only talk and some wish to be creative. People can find using creative methods help to reflect on their experiences and relationships, to process their thoughts and feelings, which then supports change.

I am trained in a psychodynamic approach.
I am an experienced and qualified counsellor and psychotherapist. I offer therapy in a supportive but also challenging environment to encourage exploration and understanding of your personal issues. During the process you will be listened to and I will provide insight into what is happening. Sadly there is no magic fix, I can't prescribe pills or potions or tell you what to do. I have experience counselling in private practice, the NHS and charities. This has given me a variety of experience working with a wide range of people with many different issues.

If you're feeling overwhelmed, emotionally stuck or exhausted from holding it all together, you are not alone. I can offer a safe, confidential and supportive space to explore what may be holding you back from living fully and freely. I will listen without judgement, so that you can begin to unburden yourself, gain clarity and move toward positive change at your own pace. You may be carrying big feelings like anger, shame, guilt, sadness, or loneliness, and finding that they’re starting to affect your day-to-day life. Together we can find ways forward that feel healthier and more hopeful, at a pace that feels right for you.

I offer Psychodynamic, DBT combined psychotherapy, systemic family therapy.
Welcome! My guess is that getting started can be pretty scary to talk to someone you don't know about things that make you feel uncomfortable, sad, angry, overjoyed or embarrassed, but i would like to reassure you that this process is here to help you grow. There are certain elements necessary in therapy to maintain a space of positivity, growth and healing, but you are not responsible for maintaining those elements - that is the job of the therapist - my job. It is imperative that we maintain a judgement free space that is challenging but comforting and be open about your experience as it unfolds.

My approach is also psychodynamic, so we explore patterns rooted in early relationships and how they might still play out, even within the therapy relationship.
I trained as an Integrative Psychotherapist at the Centre for Counselling and Psychotherapy Education. That 4-year diploma involved extensive study and supervised practice in Psychodynamic, Humanistic, Gestalt and creative approaches, as well as Transpersonal perspectives. This breadth allows me to tailor to individual needs, including meaning and purpose.

Hi, I’m Bryony, and I’m a qualified psychotherapeutic counsellor. Chances are you’ve read that a lot today! There are a lot of people to choose from, and a lot of technical terms. At the end of the day, you're looking for someone to help you feel better. Maybe you want help with something specific, like anxiety, sexual trauma, bereavement or depression. Or maybe you want to talk about something general, like things not feeling right. I have helped people through all of of these, and will support you in the direction you want to go.

I work integratively, drawing on relational, psychodynamic, attachment-based and trauma-aware approaches.
If you feel like you’ve lost your footing in your relationships or your own skin, you don’t have to steady yourself alone. I offer a calm, down-to-earth space to untangle complex patterns and find your way back to yourself. I have a particular interest in how early family roles, especially those shaped by sibling relationships, continue to influence the adults we become. Whether you were the “responsible” eldest, the peacemaker, or the one who felt overlooked, these patterns often echo in our relationships today.

Psychodynamic Counsellors
Is psychodynamic therapy evidence-based?
Studies have found psychodynamic therapy to be effective in treating conditions like social anxiety, eating disorders, chronic pain, some personality disorders, and depression; indeed, some studies have found it to be just as effective as CBT or medication. What’s more, several studies have found that the benefits of psychodynamic therapy tend to endure—even grow—long after treatment has ended.

How long does psychodynamic therapy last?
Unlike CBT and other more structured forms of therapy, psychodynamic therapy tends to be open-ended and may not be limited to a set number of sessions. It is common for clients to be in therapy for a year or longer and to see their therapist one to three times a week, though the exact schedule and timeline may vary depending on a client’s challenges and progress. However, brief psychodynamic therapy is available, which tends to be more goal-oriented and typically unfolds over 16 to 30 sessions.

Does psychodynamic therapy work?
Research finds that psychodynamic therapy can help someone manage or reduce symptoms of diagnosable mental health conditions like depression or anxiety. The modality may also offer a range of benefits that are harder to measure but just as valuable—such as increased self-worth or healthier relationships. While no therapy type will work for everyone, research and anecdotal evidence suggest that psychodynamic therapy can be highly effective.

What are the limitations of psychodynamic therapy?
Some meta-analyses have concluded that there is little evidence to suggest that psychodynamic therapy can effectively treat certain mental health conditions such as PTSD, OCD, or psychosis, though it is sometimes used to do so. More broadly, the open-ended, free-association structure of psychodynamic therapy may be frustrating for clients who prefer a more structured, time-limited, or goal-oriented approach.
