Background and approach

People come to Katharine for short-term help and for longer therapeutic work. She supports those navigating life changes and transitions. She also helps people who want clarity rather than a specific diagnosis.

There is an interest in issues that often affect people in creative careers, including role-related pressures and emotional strain. Katharine works at the client’s own pace and encourages self-compassion while addressing guilt, shame, isolation or questions of life purpose. Sessions are offered in English and are available to people in the United Kingdom and internationally.

Contact begins by completing a brief matching questionnaire and arranging sessions that suit each person’s schedule. Her practice includes a mix of conversation and reflective exercises aimed at helping people face difficult moments and find practical ways to cope going forward.

How Katharine’s approach works online

Client-centred therapy places the person at the heart of each session. The counsellor listens with empathy and helps people find their own solutions rather than prescribing answers. This way of working suits issues like anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and life transitions by creating a calm space to reflect.

The therapist focuses on building rapport and on understanding what matters to each person. Together they will agree which techniques and pace feel most helpful. Deciding on the best approach is collaborative and may change as work progresses based on needs and goals.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation when that is helpful. Phone sessions can be easier if bandwidth is limited or if someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who want to reflect in writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to maintain continuity when in-person visits are difficult.
