Katie Rose, BACP

Katie Rose believes people have the capacity to create meaningful, inspiring changes in their lives and adopts a collaborative approach to support that process. She works alongside each person to listen to their thoughts and feelings, build a full picture of their experience, and then explore patterns and concerns together to identify useful next steps.

Katie draws on a variety of therapeutic techniques and tailors her approach to what works best for the individual. Her counselling offers a space to examine negative thoughts, clarify priorities and develop practical ways forward that suit the client personally.

At Chigwell Therapy Centre she aims to provide a warm, welcoming and non-judgemental environment where people can safely explore different parts of themselves and the issues that matter to them. She treats every client as an individual and collaborates to find the most suitable route for change.

Katie has experience supporting people with depression and anxiety, low self-esteem, bereavement, relationship difficulties and confidence issues, and she has extended training and experience in working with drugs, alcohol and cross-cultural concerns. Her listed credential is BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, helps people clarify their values and take purposeful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It is useful for addressing anxiety, stress, and situations where someone wants to build a more values-driven life.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on offering empathic, non-directive support so the client can explore their own solutions. This approach is helpful for building self-esteem, improving relationships and gaining greater self-understanding.

Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the effects of traumatic experiences by working gently to process memories and reduce their impact on daily life. It is applied when past events continue to affect mood, behaviour or relationships.

Katie works collaboratively with clients to determine which approach or combination of approaches fits best, taking into account each person’s needs, goals and preferences. Finding the right therapeutic method is treated as part of the process and is adjusted as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone appointments, live chat or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit work with personal commitments. These options can increase access to licensed professionals and therapists for people living in different parts of the United Kingdom or who need more adaptable scheduling.
