Kate is a fully qualified psychotherapist with a BSc in Integrative and Humanistic Counselling and Psychotherapy from the IICP. Kate is accredited with the IACP and adheres to their ethics and standards.

Kate's approach is integrative, using a variety of different modalities to suit the needs of each client.  This approach appreciates that each person is individual and has the ability to yield their own power to provoke meaningful change within themselves. Kate always aims to provide a supportive and non judgemental  space where the client feels safe to explore.

Kate hopes to bring an awareness to the mind and body connection within sessions. Kate utilizes tools to help bring back that connection to self. Kate aims to bring a compassionate understanding of how feelings and experiences from the past, can keep us from feeling good in the present. 

Kate has experience with a variety of different issues but not limited to anxiety and panic attacks, depression, neurodiversity (ADHD and autism ),  trauma and abuse, relationship challenges, stress management and burn out, gender and sexual diversity, sexuality, self harm and suicidality, life transitions, parenting, abortion and TFMR, grief and loss. 

Kate has a keen interest working with couples, in whatever form that takes; romantic partnerships, siblings, friendships, parent and child, and non monogamous relationships. Kate has a professional certification in working with couples from the Institute of Couples Therapy and is currently undergoing a Diploma in Relationship Therapy. Couples going through challenges often do not know how to navigate their differences and the intense feelings which emerge from this. The skills and understanding that couples therapy can bring can strengthen connection. Kate uses an integrative approach working with the couple in order to adapt to their unique and often complex needs, and to assess what may help them going forward. Relationship therapy can be a space for each partner to be heard and witnessed, promoting desire for change and growth and increased levels of emotional and physical intimacy.

Kate has experience working with couples through communication issues, emotional disconnect, physical disconnect and desire discrepancies, the neurodiverse experience in relationship, repetitive cycles of conflict, conflict avoidance, chronic pain,  betrayal of trust and infidelity, grief and loss, infertility and pregnancy loss, TFMR, parenting struggles, financial anxieties, and the ending of a relationship. Sometimes a couple may want to work out a difference they can't navigate alone, and they need help to develop understanding and skills in order to gain clarity.  The integration of therapeutic models in which Kate draws from include the Developmental Model, differenciation model, IFS (Internal Family System) EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy), Terry Real's Relational Life Therapy - whilst always aiming to attune to each individual nervous system and their attachment history.
