Counselling in NE3
As a qualified psychotherapist, EMDR therapist, and psychosexual therapist, I offer a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental space where you can explore whatever is troubling you.
I work with individuals and couples experiencing a range of difficulties, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, low self-esteem, sexual concerns, and the impact of life transitions. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to your individual needs, helping you gain greater insight, process difficult experiences, and create meaningful, lasting change.

Many of my clients are struggling with anxiety, trauma, low mood, or emotional overwhelm. Some are processing past abuse or loss, while others feel stuck or disconnected and want to understand themselves better. You may be seeking relief, clarity, or a calmer mind. Whether you have clear goals or just need someone to talk to, I offer a supportive, non-judgemental space where we can work at your pace. I primarily work with adult individuals and couples aged 18 and over. In some cases, I also see young people aged 14 and above. My trainee therapy dog Coco (puppy) may be present during sessions, unless you would prefer otherwise.

Let me tell you a little about myself and my role. I am a qualified psychotherapist and supervisor in private practice. I work online across the world, and outdoors in Northumberland. I am a white, autistic, queer, non binary, human being, whose paid and voluntary labour includes supervision, writing and working in therapy with participants largely marginalised by race, ethnicity, class, gender, disabilty, neurotype and other intersecting axis of oppression.
My own history includes a complex tangle of migration and class movements, leading to living and working in rural Northumberland.

Do you feel weighed down by depression, anxiety, emptiness, or a loss of meaning? Do relationships leave you lonely, unfulfilled, or stuck in patterns of people-pleasing? Are you troubled by traumatic or painful memories?
As a relationally trained therapist, I help people build self-esteem, overcome anxiety, form more satisfying connections, and rediscover purpose. You may feel you’ve never truly belonged, or carry the wounds of childhood abuse, neglect, or bullying. You may live with an inner voice that’s often critical or unkind. Perhaps a sudden trauma, betrayal, or loss has shaken your life and left you questioning everything.

Hi, I’m Katrin, a warm and qualified counsellor. I work in a neurodiversity-affirming way with young people and adults, offering a welcoming space where you can be yourself and explore what’s on your mind.
Life brings change, challenges, and new beginnings. We may second-guess ourselves, struggle in our relationships, feel overwhelmed, or carry things that others can't always see. Sometimes we question old assumptions and wonder where we fit or who we are becoming. You may be feeling anxious or overwhelmed, notice difficulties in your life or relationships, navigating loss or change, or exploring questions of identity an meaning.
