Doctor of Psychotherapy and Counselling | MBACP
Welcome
Hi, I’m Kate. You may find yourself at a difficult moment just now - perhaps you are navigating a significant transition, grappling with a loss, or struggling with feelings of not being good enough. Whatever the reason, you are very welcome here.
My practice is primarily relational, meaning that the quality of the therapeutic relationship is of the utmost importance. This means that building a genuine, trusting relationship is the foundation of our work. I offer a warm, attentive presence and strive to ensure that you feel seen and understood throughout the therapeutic journey. Trained in psychodynamic psychotherapy, I deeply value the importance of past experiences and relationships in understanding your inner world.
I work with individuals aged 16+ from any and all backgrounds, though I have particular experience working with students and young professionals facing the transitions of emerging adulthood. I work with a wide range of issues, but have a special interest in anxiety, relationships and attachment, and childhood and relational trauma.
“We all carry endless hidden selves and latent worlds, waiting for the right gaze to bring them to the surface. I’ve felt this in my bones: relationships that have remade me, expanded me, taught me. Time and again, people have been the most transformative engine for becoming I’ve ever known.”
