Hello I am an BACP Accredited Counsellor & Psychotherapist Trained EMDR therapist Clinical Supervisor, and trained in Energy psychotherapy. I have over 14 years clinical experience within both Private Practice and the NHS.  My clients include adult individuals who wish to work on: trauma and relationship difficulties. depression, low mood, anxiety, stress, low self esteem, lack of confidence, bereavement, and other personal loss,   In addition, I also support and facilitate clients who wish build personal development, or create more fulfilment and happiness in their lives.

Starting therapy can be daunting so it’s important that you identify a therapist and an approach to working that feels right for you. As an art psychotherapist, I am open, honest and inclusive with considerable experience supporting children, adolescents and young adults in schools and community settings. My approach to working is psychodynamic - I’m interested in how past events may have affected you, both consciously and unconsciously, influencing the way you think, feel and behave. Should talking about your experiences be too difficult, I may encourage you to try different creative techniques as an alternate means of expression.

You might not know exactly how you feel, or you might have mixed emotions and just need a neutral, non-judgemental space in which to be you . I offer talking therapy or creative art therapy to children, adolescents and adults. I am an integrative therapist who adapts to what my client needs. I use my psychodynamic training intertwined with a person centred and humanistic approach. Please see my website for more detail on this.

There are many reasons why we may find ourselves considering accessing counselling support throughout our lives. You may have a clear sense of the support you are looking for and the difficulties you are facing. Alternatively, you may just feel in your gut that something is not right. Perhaps you are realising that having a better understanding of yourself, your relationships and the impact of your environment would help you live a more fulfilled life. I am experienced in working with a wide range of issues from anxiety, stress, trauma and grief to confusing thoughts, life transitions, depression and difficulties in relationships.

You may be experiencing anxiety or depression. This could be due to the impact of past experiences or trauma, or it could be that you are going through a period of change or transition. This may lead to feelings that can be punishing and confusing to cope with by yourself. I offer a non-judgmental and compassionate space where you can explore and express your feelings however difficult they may feel.

Hi, I’m Kathryn – a qualified Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist. We all face times in our life when things feel less than easy. For some, a particular aspect of life may feel overwhelming. For others, their entire situation may feel desperate. Some may simply feel that they want an opportunity to understand themselves better, to be the ‘best’ that they can be. Whatever your current experience, Counselling & Psychotherapy gives you the opportunity to ‘unpack’ what is happening for you with a qualified individual, held safely, and in confidence.

When we find ourselves in a place where our thoughts, feelings or behaviours are impacting upon our daily lives, counselling and psychotherapy sessions offer an opportunity to understand why this is happening, make positive changes for the better, and move forward to where we want to be.

Deciding to go to therapy, and finding the right therapist can be a daunting and difficult process. My aim is to make that as easy as possible for you and I offer a free, initial first session of 30 minutes for you to test the waters and figure out if I feel like the right therapist for you. You may be struggling with something specific that has interrupted your life, or perhaps there is something in your past that you are ready to understand now. Feeling emotionally overwhelmed can be a lonely place and often it will impact your relationships, work-life and wellbeing.

Counselling is a tough journey and sometimes just choosing the right person to help you on that journey is the toughest part. I know from experience how life changing therapy can be, you just have to start. With me that’s a free 15 minute chat to find out what’s happening in your life that you would like to work through and whether we’re the right fit. Whether you need support for something that is happening in the present or you need help with a lifelong list of challenges, I’m here to support you on that journey.

I am a clinical psychotherapist specialising in women’s mental health and adolescents, individually and through groups. My specialist areas include women and mums (pregnancy, postnatal anxiety, postnatal depression and birth trauma), and personality disorders online and in Surrey and London. I am BACP and UKCP accredited, having completed a PhD and MSc at the University of Roehampton, alongside BI DBT Intensive Training and MBCT Training. I have a wealth of experience in NHS, forensic and private settings, including the Priory Group, and work alongside psychiatrists and mental health teams in Surrey and London.

You may find yourself in need of support and have gathered the courage to reach out, well done for making this step on your therapeutic journey. I am here to listen and to support you with what you want to work through. You may find that your previous coping strategies are no longer working for you, or you may wish to work through life experiences that have negatively impacted your life. Wherever you find yourself today, I will endeavour to work with you so that you can work through your obstacles and reach the outcome you are hoping to achieve.

I am aware that many people communicate on a very superficial level, frightened they may be judged, won’t be liked, or don’t fit in. I fully believe we all deserve to be the best version of ourselves that we can be. By talking with me, I hope you will discover your full and true potential, which may enable you to make healthier choices and create positive changes. I am passionate about my work and consider it both a responsibility and a privilege to be actively engaged in my client’s exploration of their life and I offer you my full commitment and dedication
