ABOUT ME

I am a BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) registered counsellor and psychotherapist based in York. I work with an integrative humanistic approach, using a variety of methods, depending on the needs of my clients because I see you as the expert on you.

 

I hold an enhanced DBS certificate, having worked with a range of clients in York through a local hospice and a local women's charity. Experience teaches me to value authenticity - I will always be real with you.

 

I find joy in connecting with clients and learning new skills and ideas so that I can offer more as a counsellor. Each client shares a unique journey with me, and I look forward to helping you navigate yours.

Kathryn and I worked together for about a year. We wove together so many threads of my life (trauma, fertility, relationships).

 

Kathryn was an expert co-pilot in navigating a journey that helped me make sense of their connected and separate parts, and to get to a place where I can now give myself the grace I need to live a happier life. 

 

The Garden Room was always a calm, private and relaxing environment, and on the odd occasion I wanted to flex to a Zoom appointment, it was easily done.

​

I took full advantage of the free consultation call and Kathryn immediately set herself apart from other counsellors I was meeting, through her deep listening and sensitive questions even in just 20 mins of talking together.

​

Kathryn offers just the right balance of friendliness and professionalism for what I needed – I felt relaxed enough to almost feel I was speaking to a friend, but knowing I was in a heavily boundaried, very safe space that Kathryn was guarding through her expertise and judgement. 

​

Good luck to anyone reading this and thinking of embarking on your own therapy journey –you are in safe hands here."
