About Kathy
Kathy draws on extensive clinical experience from working as a neonatal intensive care nurse, supporting families to care for and bond with sick or preterm babies and to manage the often overwhelming transition from hospital to home. That background has informed her sensitivity to the emotional complexity of neonatal journeys and given her particular experience supporting parents through loss, grief, and trauma.
Her NHS experience, including work during the pandemic, has offered insight into the connections between physical illness, workplace stress, and mental wellbeing, and she has supported healthcare workers coping with professional pressures. Kathy believes counselling can deepen self-understanding, strengthen coping skills, and provide a solid foundation for personal goals.
Clients can expect a compassionate, supportive approach focused on listening, understanding, and collaborating to identify practical ways forward. Kathy’s aim is to help people make sense of their experiences and build resilience as they work toward meaningful change.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action toward what matters. It is often useful for anxiety, stress, and living with painful emotions.
Client-Centered Therapy places the person at the heart of the process, using empathy, acceptance, and reflective listening to help clients explore their experience and build self-understanding. This approach suits people seeking a supportive, paced space to make sense of life changes or relationship and identity concerns.
Solution-Focused Therapy looks at practical steps and small changes that can move a person toward their goals. It emphasizes strengths and what is working now, which can be helpful for people who want focused, goal-oriented support.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kathy will work collaboratively with each person to understand needs, values, and preferences and to adapt methods so therapy feels like a good fit for their goals and circumstances.
Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people balancing work, caregiving, or health demands. These options make it easier to access regular support from licensed professionals and therapists regardless of geography, and they allow sessions to be scheduled in ways that suit the client’s life and pace of progress.
