Welcome — I’m Kate
If you’re experiencing anxiety, relationship difficulties, stress, low confidence, or simply feeling stuck and unsure of the way forward, you don’t have to go through it alone — you can reach out to me for support. I’m an experienced and compassionate psychotherapist with over 17 years of practice, and I specialise in helping people feel calmer, more confident, and more connected in their lives.
My approach is gentle, collaborative, and tailored to you. Drawing on counselling, psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, and mindfulness practices, I’ll help you explore what’s holding you back, build emotional resilience, and create practical strategies to manage life’s challenges.
How I Can Support You
Anxiety & overwhelm – finding calm when life feels too much
Relationship struggles – navigating conflict, communication, or loneliness
Life transitions – adapting to change and discovering your next chapter
Self-acceptance & growth – letting go of old patterns and building confidence
Spiritual & deeper meaning – reconnecting with your sense of purpose
What You Can Expect
Therapy with me is a safe, confidential space where you’ll be truly heard and supported. Together, we’ll uncover new perspectives, work through difficult emotions, and help you reconnect with a steadier, more peaceful version of yourself.
Whether you need short-term support or a longer journey of exploration, I’ll walk alongside you — not telling you who to be, but helping you discover your own best way forward.

Warm, compassionate, and client-centred approach
Over 17 years’ experience in counselling and psychotherapy

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
