More about Katie

  • 22 years' experience
  • Female
  • BACP

Hello, I’m Katie. I’m an Integrative counsellor based in Alvechurch, South Birmingham. I draw on many counselling models including Person-centred, Cognitive Behavioural & Solution- focused. I have been a Counsellor for over 20 years (I qualified in 2003) and have worked in a variety of settings. I also work as a School Counsellor in a secondary school & sixth form counselling students & staff. I’m a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP).

I understand that seeking counselling can be a daunting experience! I am warm, empathic, non judgmental & always accepting of you & your situation. I will provide a safe & confidential space for you to explore & express what is happening in your life & to consider your choices. Counselling can help you gain a greater understanding and acceptance of yourself & your circumstances.

You will be at the centre of every session. We can explore ways together to increase your confidence & self-esteem & enable you to live in a more satisfying & resourceful way.

I will tailor the counselling to suit your individual needs & concerns

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
