Now offering EMDR. Do you want person therapy in Worcester? Do your emotions sometimes feel bigger than you can manage, or your relationships harder than they should be? Perhaps you feel stuck in painful patterns with partners, friends, or family, where arguments escalate quickly or you cope in ways that later feel self-destructive. I am an integrative psychotherapist in Worcester working with adults who want to understand these patterns and respond differently in their relationships. I work with adults whose emotional experiences can feel intense or difficult to regulate, and whose relationships often become strained or unstable.

I am sex worker allied, kink aware, and poly affirming.
The world feels really heavy right now. War, climate crisis, the rise of the far right, skyrocketing bills. And then there's your own personal struggles that you're trying to weather. If you're depressed, burnt out, or feeling overwhelmed, I offer a space to bring all of that - openly - without judgement. I am experienced in counselling LGBTQ+, neurodivergent (inc. autistic, BPD & ADHD) and chronically ill clients. I take a person-centred approach, not seeing you as broken or in need of fixing, but rather supporting you to make sense of what you're going through, and helping you figure out a way forward that really works for you.

I'm sex positive, sex worker allied and have experience of kink dynamics.
I have found that interpersonal relationship issues often intersect with deeper themes, such as patterns of relating formed in childhood, feelings of anxiety or overwhelm, identity exploration, or a sense of being stuck. I aim to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where we can explore these interconnected areas together and work toward positive change.

My goal working with clients is always to provide a judgement free space, where you can come into contact with parts of yourself that seldom get seen or acknowledged. Enabling awareness of yourself in relation to the events of your life, and how new emergent choices can empower you moving forward. I can work with a range of presenting issues, from mental health issues (such as anxiety and depression) to neurodiversity. Equally I have experience of working with clients who come from a wide range of backgrounds, specifically those from the LGBTQ+ community.

Hi, I’m Katie! Based in Stratford-Upon-Avon, I am a qualified integrative therapist - which means I use a range of methodologies in my practice to cater to the client’s needs. Some of the main approaches I use include Person Centred, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Emotional Freedom Therapy and the Psychodynamic Approach (to name a few). I believe everyone is different, and therefore can react differently to events. Meaning, each person will need different types of therapy to help them on their healing journey.

Sex-Positive, Kink Allied Counsellors
Why might an individual want to see a sex-positive, kink-allied therapist?
A sex-positive or kinky individual may want to see a sex-positive, kink-allied therapist because the client may feel safer and more supported discussing their experiences and challenges. A therapist who identifies as kink-friendly will have experience with clients having diverse sexual preferences and will likely be nonjudgmental and supportive about issues brought to the table. It is important to note that sex-positive, kink-allied individuals may find equal success with therapists who do not have such specialised knowledge and background. The most important factor in the success of therapy is for the client and practitioner to form a strong, trusting bond.

Do therapists have special training to gain expertise in sex-positive, kink-allied treatment?
Generally, no. There are limited training programs and unofficial accreditations that therapists can pursue, but a therapist’s expertise will ultimately come from their previous experience with similar clients, their engagement with organisations that promote sex positivity or kink-allied lifestyles, and the importance they place on safety and cultural sensitivity.

How can individuals recognise a good sex-positive, kink-allied therapist?
An experienced therapist is able to help clients explore their sexual identity and expression and relieve any discomfort or stigma attached to discussing such matters and the client’s overall challenges. A therapist who is sex-positive and kink-allied is able to create an environment that honors a client’s experience and sexual preferences. To recognise a good therapist, clients can simply ask directly about topics and issues important to them and gauge their comfort level and connection with a clinician based on the responses.

Can clients benefit from having a therapist with a focus on sex positivity and alternative sexual lifestyles?
Some individuals may feel most comfortable knowing that the clinician they’re working with has a commitment to creating an atmosphere of sex positivity and has experience with relationship diversity and alternative relationship structures. Working with a sex-positive, kink-allied therapist may help clients respect their own challenges and improve identity-affirming treatment.
