About Katherine
Katherine Orr is a counsellor who focuses on stress, anxiety and a wide range of life challenges. She offers a calm space to talk without judgement and helps people make sense of thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Katherine emphasises collaboration and aims to support practical change rather than simply giving advice.
She trained and practises within the framework of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, abbreviated as BACP. Her practice brings together client-centred, cognitive behavioural and psychodynamic ideas so sessions can be shaped to suit each person.
Background and approach
Katherine uses that flexibility to match the work to what feels most useful for the individual. Her experience covers depression, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and childhood abuse. She also helps with issues such as grief, self-esteem, parenting strain, career uncertainty and coping with life changes.
Additional focus areas include attachment and communication problems, body image, and caregiver stress. Sessions are offered in English and Katherine works with people in the United Kingdom as well as international clients. She describes her style as professional with a personal touch and aims to help people make practical changes that matter in day-to-day life.
Katherine sees counselling as a collaborative process. People can expect gentle exploration of patterns, practical strategies from cognitive approaches, and space to reflect on past experiences when that feels relevant.
How Katherine's approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. The therapist offers empathy and reflection to help people find their own solutions, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and relationship issues.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It uses practical steps and experiments to change unhelpful patterns and can help with anxiety, stress and coping strategies.
Psychodynamic work pays attention to how past experiences shape current reactions. It can help people understand recurring patterns in relationships and emotional responses.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then try methods together. That collaborative process means the approach can shift as needs change.
Online sessions take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation while phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is preferred. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, reflective writing or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and different time zones, while allowing consistent weekly or occasional sessions as needed.
