I currently have most availability on Mondays or Fridays, but this is subject to change. I can be fleixble on the time of day around your working patterns.

Hello, my name is Katie and I am a person centred therapist offering sessions via telephone or video call. I offer a non-judgemental, safe space to explore what might be going on in your life right now that has brought you here. 

I have a BA in Counselling & Psychotherapy from University of Lancashire, and an MSc in Counselling and Psychotherapy (Professional Practice) from University of Salford. 

I have over 3 years experience with counselling clients and now work for a local Mind counselling service as Counselling Coordinator, as well as carrying out peer support work for adults with autism.

I have completed over 700 hours of client sessions and worked with a range of mental health difficulties, including anxiety, depression, relationship or family issues, self esteem and more. I also have first hand experience with neurodiversity and how this can affect mental health. 

I have been where you are and know how hard it is to reach out and get support, I hope you feel ready to start your journey to a better quality of life.

The aim of my practice is to build a therapeutic relationship with you and allow you a safe space to embrace all parts of yourself and your feelings. To understand yourself more deeply and your responses to the world, encouraging empowerment and self improvement.

During my education, alongside counselling practice, I studied a few different types of psychotherapy, including CBT and integrative therapy, so although I am a person centred therapist, I may use some other techniques if I feel they would benefit the sessions further. 

Each session is 50 minutes long

Since the therapuestic relationship is the most improtant part of therapy, I offer a free first meeting, 15 minutes to get to know each other and see if we are able to work well together. It is non committal meeting where you can ask any questions you have about therapy and the practice I carry out.

Once we have decided to work together, our first paid session will include contracting, and a quick outcomes form before deliving into the session.
