Meet Kate.

My aim as a qualified person-centred, integrative counsellor, is to bring clarity and sensitivity to sessions. Combining warmth and compassion, we can begin our work together.

I can offer fresh insight in an encouraging, supportive and easy to understand way.
In the beginning, my role as your counsellor, is to get to know you. To understand who you are. To listen, without judgement, as to why you have reached out for support. To discover, with you, why you are feeling/behaving the way you are. Empathise how it feels to be you.

I will ask you some questions to find out about the you in the 'here and now'. This helps establish how counselling & psychotherapy can help you. Not only for underlying issues, but also in how you may want to navigate through any past or present difficulties, to make positive changes and live your life to your full potential.
I will see you. I will hear you.

 

Away from the therapy space, I find simple things make me happy. I enjoy the great outdoors (especially walking on the beach), seeing friends and generally connecting with nature. I also love going to ballroom & Latin dance lessons with my partner. It's probably one of the funniest things I've ever experienced and takes 'lack of coordination' to a whole new level!

The thing that I enjoy the most though is cake. 😊
