About Kathryn
Kathryn Partt is a counsellor who draws on several therapy styles to help people manage anxiety and life stress. She holds BACP accreditation and has five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. Kathryn aims to make the first step feel more doable for someone who is worried or overwhelmed.
She focuses on bereavement and trauma, and commonly helps people coping with grief, loss and the effects of abuse.
Background and approach
She also works with stress, depression, sleeping problems, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and challenges such as low self-esteem or career strain. Practical talk and simple tools are part of her work when relevant. Kathryn aims to make sessions a place where thoughts and feelings are heard without judgement.
She uses client-centred methods to follow the person’s pace and priorities. That means listening first, then helping people name the patterns that get in the way. She also draws on attachment-based and cognitive behavioural ideas to look at how past relationships shape current worries, and to try out small changes in thinking and behaviour.
Existential ideas are used when people want to explore meaning, values or life direction. Sessions can include short practical exercises, gentle reflection and goal-setting. Kathryn describes her style as warm and straightforward.
She supports people through change with steady, consistent guidance.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships influence current fears and patterns. In online sessions this can mean naming how connection or distance shows up now and trying small changes in the way someone reaches out or sets boundaries. Client-centred therapy focuses on following the person’s agenda and offering empathic listening; it helps when someone needs space to talk things through and make sense of their feelings. Cognitive behavioural ideas add simple, structured ways to test and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, useful for anxiety, sleep problems and low mood.Choosing the right approach is part of the journey and Kathryn treats it as a collaboration. She listens to the person’s goals and preferences, then suggests ways to combine methods that best fit those aims. That plan is regularly checked and adjusted as the work progresses.
Online therapy with Kathryn is available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, written reflection or when someone prefers not to use voice or video. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
