Hello, I'm Kate. I offer 1:1 counselling to adults. This can be short or long term depending on your needs. I work face to face in Cheltenham or online via Zoom. I offer a warm, supportive and confidential space to explore your feelings, thoughts and experiences. Counselling can help you to look at a particular issue that is worrying you, to make sense of difficult feelings, to explore deeply rooted issues, or simply to understand yourself better. I work with clients on many issues including anxiety, depression, grief and loss, low self-esteem, feeling stuck and unmotivated, questions of identity, and adapting to life changes.

Do you constantly feel anxious and frustrated with yourself ? Do you keep repeating the same behaviour patterns ? There is a reason for this. I have helped many clients to work through traumatic life experiences. You can start again with a new self confidence that comes from a place of love rather than hate for who you are. Things do not have to stay the same. You can change how you feel about yourself and learn to accept yourself, even the bits you don't like ! You can learn to regulate your feelings and work with them rather than being afraid and controlled by them.

Are you struggling with your emotions, overwhelmed with anxiety, depression, grief, or relationship difficulties? Perhaps stuck in destructive habitual behavioural patterns, or addictive behaviours without understanding why? I offer a safe and empathetic environment to support your growth in developing self-awareness, through a range of therapeutic approaches, building a bespoke tool kit of coping techniques to support you work through your difficulties, develop emotional regulation and make the desired changes in your life.

If you’re reading this, you’re looking for someone to talk to. Well done for doing something about it - you’re already being pro-active. Reaching out is the first step to making things better. I’m here to help.

I am a solution focused counsellor, my training derives from the understanding that when essential emotional needs are met, a human being will be emotionally and mentally healthy.. its when our emotional needs are not being met or are unintentionally misused that undesirable mental states such as: anxiety, anger, depression, addiction and psychosis develop., for instance, misuse of the imagination - to conjure up the worst possible or threatening scenarios-is a common feature of all these states. I aim to work through how you got to this point in your life, to help support you in finding new ways to move forward and embrace life.

Are you feeling low, confused, anxious or sad? Maybe you’ve lost someone close to you or find yourself stuck in a cycle of self-sabotaging behaviour. Or perhaps you’ve realised that you no longer know who you truly are. If you’re exhausted and overwhelmed by your feelings, if you’re struggling just to get through each day – you’re not alone. I’m here to help. My passion for helping others stems from a genuine desire to see individuals reclaim their lives and find inner peace. I know how important it is to feel listened to, heard and understood.

My approach is supportive and integrative, which means I can use a range of therapy models to create an individualised therapy for you. I listen carefully to your concerns, and together we focus on the changes you seek.

I am an accredited Psychotherapist, CBT and Brainspotting Practitioner, providing help and guidance to adults, children, and teenagers. I use a variety of proven approaches and with 38 years of experience, I take great care to consider your specific needs to establish the best approach to help you with any emotional block or problem you are experiencing. My aim is to help you to achieve your goals for therapy and together we work collaboratively to achieve them. My office is situated in such a way that clients can access therapy in a private and confidential setting.

We are a low-cost counselling service that supports adults, children, and young people living in Gloucestershire. As a community interest company, we provide an inclusive, easy-to-access service, where the fee you pay is an amount that considers your circumstances on a sliding scale between £15.00-£50.00. Deciding to access counselling can be a difficult step. Our waiting times are short, as we are a good-sized team, with only around a week to wait from meeting you arrange the sessions starting.

I am a HCPC registered chartered Clinical Psychologist, working both within the NHS in adult community mental health settings and Private Practice. I have experience of working psychologically with clients across the lifespan and have a specialist interest in working with complex trauma, feelings of shame/self criticism and emotion regulation difficulties. I primarily work within a Compassion Focused Therapy and Psychodynamic Framework; however, I utilise principles from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy to compliment this.

Therapy can often involve seeing a professional, responding to questions that will help them figure out what's wrong, and taking another person's advice on how to deal with their difficulties. However, I offer a more humanistic approach to therapy, in which I will support you as you embark on a journey of self-discovery and help you find the solutions you've been looking for. You are, after all, the authority on your own life. I offer online and face to face sessions, equine therapy and walk and talk therapy. www.personcentredtherapy.uk

Children and Young People have many issues which they cannot always express and understand their feelings, as adults sometimes can. Issues can range from parents splitting up, school problems, exam stress and pressure, friendship issues, witnessing domestic abuse or sexual abuse. The lists can be endless. My job is to creatively work with the child or young person to explore what their issues are and help build up self esteem and track their goals in therapy in creative ways.

Offering a warm acceptance of all clients, its important in those early sessions that rapport is built and that we work together to understand goals for Counselling. For younger clients this is sometimes hard to communicate and therefore I look to introduce creative ways for them to be able to express themselves. I understand that each client is unique and therefore adapt our sessions to meet the needs of the individual, whether that is creating a safe confidential space just to be heard or supporting with a suite of Cognitive Behavioural Tools to aid negative thinking or behaviour.

We’re all unique, yet we share some challenges in life. Stress, trauma, loss and fear are just a few that can knock us off course. I see therapy as a way not only of getting you back on track, fast, but helping you to fulfil your potential. When the difficulties of life leave you feeling overwhelmed and unable to cope, I can help you to find the first steps to recovery. No one therapy can work for all, so my approach is to build on what works for you, drawing on therapeutic disciplines that best fit your presentation and personality.

Are you feeling overwhelmed or stressed? Are you dealing with loss, relationship issues or just feeling a bit "stuck"? I am empathetic and will listen to you without judgement, creating a safe, calm, accepting and respectful environment where you feeI heard, supported and so able to share your feelings. Working with you to gently understand the cause of your emotional turmoil, work through any issues, find a space for yourself and ultimately help you to restore your balance of mind, body and spirit. I am a qualified and fully insured holistic therapist offering Counselling, Applied Emotional Freedom Technique and Reiki Treatments.
