Background and approach

People contact her for help with sleep problems, panic attacks, social anxiety, or the strain of caregiving. She also supports those facing life changes, career decisions, relationship stress and grief. Discussions can cover self-esteem, motivation and ways to reduce emotional exhaustion.

Kathrine sees therapy as a collaborative process. She listens first, then helps set clear, achievable goals. Progress is reviewed regularly and the plan is adjusted if needed.

Her style is warm and non-judgemental. She aims to create a space where people feel heard and practiced tools are easy to use between sessions. Kathrine encourages steady steps that lead to clearer thinking and better day-to-day coping.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Evidence-based techniques often focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and building practical skills. One common approach helps people notice and shift anxious thinking patterns, and then practise calmer responses to triggers; this can be useful for panic attacks, social anxiety and everyday worry.

Another approach centres on building coping skills and routines to improve mood and sleep. This involves setting small behavioural goals, adjusting daily habits and tracking progress to reduce low mood and increase motivation. These methods are often used alongside conversations about grief, caregiving stress and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences and collaborate on a plan. Together you will try techniques, review what helps, and adjust the approach over time.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and reading cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, written reflection or times when a flexible, asynchronous option fits your schedule. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and different routines.
