Establishing a safe therapeutic relationship is one of the most important parts of effective psychological therapy. I am passionate in supporting people by creating a safe and non-judgmental space where we can explore difficult topics in a comfortable way. People access therapy for all kinds of different reasons. You may be struggling with a specific mental health difficulty or maybe you are just "not feeling yourself". I can offer tailored individual psychological therapy and couples therapy for a range of difficulties.

I have experience of working with anxiety, depression, bullying, isolation, low self esteem, relationship difficulties and loss to name but a few.
Hello, my name is Kath and I am a person-centred counsellor. I offer an introductory half hour session at no cost so you can get a sense of whether you feel you would like us to work together. I understand that taking that step to call can be hard, I may not always be able to answer the phone but please do leave a message and I will return your call as soon as I can.

Working on a client-led basis I believe the unique client-therapist working relationship is the key to a positive experience where the collaborative work offers insight and deeper understanding of our true needs and desires. I will help you become more aware of unhelpful patterns in your life and support you through the process of change that can sometimes feel challenging and lonely. With a focus on supporting clients through transitional stages in life, recognising the struggle but also the potential in personal growth, I wish to encourage your own process with respect for your values, beliefs and choices.

Struggling with low mood, anxiety, trust and relationship issues? The root cause could be unresolved trauma. With 20 years of evidence-based care, I help people who have experienced trauma and abuse move past pain and into the life they want.

I also have worked with many clients experiencing work stress and difficulties in their relationship.
I’m a psychotherapist, lecturer & supervisor specialising in trauma and longer term therapy. I was the trauma lead for the counselling service of TfL for 6 years & currently teach psychotherapy at Regent’s University London. I integrate different approaches to therapy including EMDR, psychoanalytic and humanistic ways of working. A primary focus of the work tends to be on relationships, recognising patterns and exploring different ways to relate to yourself and others.

I’m an experienced and passionate Psychotherapist and have both a wide lived and professional experience, working with addiction, anxiety, depression, trauma, childhood abuse, adoption, burnout, loneliness and relationship issues.
Hello! A very warm welcome to you. As we face these uncertain times in our world, we find ourselves coming up against many challenges that may be exacerbating our existing internal struggles. It feels more important than ever to find some sense of certainty and purpose in these difficult times. The very idea of isolation can bring on fear and anxiety, uncertainty around our livelihoods can trigger old and new coping strategies that may feel damaging to one’s self.

I offer expertise and a confidential relationship where you can feel safe, supported and understood without fear of judgment.
I have spent the last 18 years studying human behaviour, relationships, and the workings of the mind – formerly in university teaching, research and support roles and now, as a Psychotherapeutic Counsellor supporting individuals and couples with psychological, emotional and relationship difficulties. My focus is on the whole person rather than solely addressing specific symptoms or issues, which means our therapeutic process will consider all parts of you, mind, body, spirit and soul, as well as the social and cultural aspects of your experience.

I believe in the power of a healthy, nurturing, relationship between client and counsellor, and the change that can occur in experiencing this kind of genuine, non judgemental understanding.
You may be experiencing a whole range of emotions that has brought you here. Whatever happens next, just know that it is ok to feel whatever you are feeling, and you don't have to go through it alone. I believe that building a strong relationship between yourself, the client, and me, the counsellor, based on trust, openness, and honesty, is key to affecting change and growth within yourself, and it is at the heart of the work that we will do together. You are the expert in your own life, and I am here to help facilitate your own understanding of yourself in a space that is safe and free of judgement.

The decision to try therapy can seem very daunting, but you have already taken the first step if you are here in this directory. Dealing with difficult issues, loss, bereavement, trauma, divorce/separation, identity , etc can feel utterly overwhelming. Initially, the prospect of sharing such experience may feel like a step too far. My own and clients’ experiences have shown me time & again that it is through the process of talking therapy that in sharing the burden the healing can begin. I have a passionate belief in the power of the wounded, with support, to find some reconciliation, with themselves, their history & in relationship

I am here to listen and to support you in exploring things that are creating challenges or distress in your life. Whether you’re struggling in a relationship, feeling worried, anxious, depressed, or experiencing loss I can help. Talking to a counsellor can help to stop thoughts circling around and around to alleviate feelings of distress and support you in working towards changes you want in your life by connecting or reconnecting with your own needs and feelings. Talking to someone who isn’t connected to what’s going on means you can explore thoughts and feelings without worrying about other people’s feelings or feeling judged.

I have experience of working with anxiety and depression, of relationship difficulties, of loss and grief, as well as couple work.
When life is difficult, and there are hurdles that seem too hard to overcome, it can help to have someone to talk to. Someone who isn’t going to judge you, or tell you what to do, but will enable you to be how you’d like to be. I also work with couples - relationships can bring joy, but also challenges. Working together we can find a way to move forwards.

My work with adults covers areas such as addiction, bereavement, meaning in midlife, self-esteem and self-loathing, low mood, anxiety, health-based trauma and relationship breakdown.
Understanding ourselves, the decisions and choices we make and our relationships with others can sometimes be baffling. You may find yourself acting or behaving in ways that you struggle to align with your personal principles, wishes or desires. At times, your experience may suggest that your way of being doesn't blend with the world around you and you might find yourself meeting resistance from people or institutions. Therapy gives us the chance to explore these challenges together. We can look at your relationships with others and the meaning you make of them, helping to develop your insight, self-awareness and self-acceptance.

I'm an experienced integrative therapist and work flexibly and dynamically with adults, couples, families and trainee counsellors. Early relationships and life events may have shaken your ability to fully value yourself or others. You might be bereaved, struggling with a relationship, experiencing depression or anxiety. I'm objective and compassionate, offering support to connect with frightening or buried feelings. Letting go of strategies that no longer work for you, without pressure or expectation, can help you to find your own truth and a sense of who you really are.

Whether you are experiencing a sense of crisis, have a specific issue to work through, or a more general feeling of needing someone to talk to, I can help. I work with adults and young people with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship and family difficulties, trauma, addiction, identity, life changes and loss as well as more specialised experience with the music industry, performing arts, addiction and boarding school related issues. I support people from diverse backgrounds, cultures, ages, gender and neurodivergence (particularly ADHD and autistic spectrum), working inclusively with compassion and respect.

Perhaps you feel stuck, whether in a relationship or in your work situation.
I offer a protected space for you to explore your different needs and feelings, and reflect on your hopes and wishes - some of these may not yet be known. That's the magic: it's a place of discovery! I value working collaboratively to support your wellbeing and aspirations. This can include enhancing the quality of your relationships, being more creative in your life, and developing qualities that allow you to express what is most important to you. I have been in practice for nearly 30 years, working internationally with different cultures, and this has given me a broader perspective and appreciation of diverse points of view.

Research shows that the quality of the relationship between client and therapist is the primary agent for therapeutic change, so it is important that you find a therapist who feels right for you.
I imagine that you are here because life seems particularly tough at the moment. Perhaps you are anxious about the future, or suffering with difficult memories from the past. Perhaps you have realised that the relationship patterns you have developed are no longer working for you and you would like to find a new way of connecting to your partner or others. Perhaps you need some practical guidance with a sex related problem. Wouldn't it be good if a trusted professional, who is also warm and 'real' could help you find a positive way forward?

Relationship Issues Counsellors
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
