You might look like you’re managing on the outside, but inside there’s persistent overthinking, anxiety, and a sense of running beyond capacity. I work with people experiencing burnout-edge overwhelm, often shaped by long-term masking, people-pleasing, and high internal pressure to keep going even when it feels like too much.

I work with anxiety (including generalised, health and social), Trauma including PTSD/C-PTSD, bereavement, neurodivergent issues, LGBTQIA plus issues, gender dysphoria, stress, life transitions, self-esteem, depression, relationship difficulties and anything else that is on your mind.
Hi, I’m Kat. You might be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected—from yourself, from others, or from the life you want to be living. You may be used to masking, pushing through, or coping alone, even when things feel difficult underneath. I offer compassionate, trauma-informed counselling for adults, with a neuro-affirmative and LGBTQIA+ affirmative approach. I provide a warm, non-judgemental space where you don’t need to explain or justify who you are—you can show up as yourself, at your own pace.

Counselling with me offers a space of radical acceptance to explore your beliefs, your experiences of the world, and who you are. Together, we will co-create a space to experiment with new ways of being. Or a place to integrate or challenge yourself. Or simply some time and space to be heard, and get curious about the meaning of your life (past, present, future). I work with a wide range of people and you are welcome to get in touch if my profile resonates with you. Often, I work with activists, the LGBTQIA+ community, kinky people, poly people, neurodiverse people, outsiders and edge-walkers (and more).

Are you feeling emotionally drained, anxious, or stuck — perhaps facing a health condition, grief, or a major life transition? Or maybe you are also navigating questions around your identity, expectations from society, or the impact of feeling different or misunderstood. You long to feel calmer, more connected, and confident in who you are - to live meaningfully, even alongside emotional distress or pressure. You’re ready for support that’s warm, inclusive, and grounded in genuine care so that you can engage with what is important for you.

Are you trying to understand something from the past or stepping towards something new. Perhaps you are working through memories and emotions that feel stuck, leaving you questioning how to move forward. For some, these questions open up curiosity; for others, they can lead to dark and lonely places. I work with individuals and couples who may feel stuck, overwhelmed or uncertain about how to move forward, and who want to make sense of long-standing patterns in past and present relational experiences, even when thoughts or behaviours feel unchangeable.

Do you ever find yourself wondering why you do the things you do? Maybe making tough decisions feels impossible, or you feel like you keep falling into the same old patterns that hurt you or others. It can be so frustrating to feel stuck. In my practice, I adopt an approach that believes you are not the problem. It’s the influences around you—the relationships, family dynamics, social circles, and even your environment—that shape your experience and well-being. This perspective helps to free clients from self-blame and creates a space where they can explore how external factors may have shaped their experiences, behaviours, emotions

Do you fear the worst things you say to yourself are true? Holding it together on the outside might feel like hanging on by your fingernails inside. You may be crushed by external circumstances or overwhelmed by internal turmoil. Perhaps you’re driven to overachieve at great personal cost, yet never seem to reach your potential in relationships, creativity or career. Familiar ways of coping no longer work, whether that’s immersive daydreaming, masking undiagnosed ADHD, or endless people-pleasing. It's hard to express what you want or need to live an authentic, fulfilled life. You simply can't - you choose not to - go on like this.
