Background and approach

That background informs a practical, respectful approach where the client’s experience guides the work. Sessions are 45 minutes long and Kathryn emphasises regular, reliable support and clear professional boundaries. Her practice commonly addresses anxiety, stress, depression, trauma and relationship and intimacy-related issues, along with concerns such as grief, self-esteem and coping with life changes.

She also brings attention to areas like addiction, sleep and eating difficulties, ADHD and compassion fatigue when relevant to the person in front of her. Kathryn describes therapy as a shared journey. She listens, reflects and helps people notice patterns and small changes that can make daily life easier.

She may draw on other approaches alongside person-centred work when that better suits a client’s goals. Those who choose to work with her can expect a calm, consistent space where the focus stays on the client’s needs. Kathryn aims to help people build their own awareness and practical strategies so they can manage things more confidently after therapy ends.

How Kathryn’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person rather than giving direct solutions. Online sessions using this approach aim to create a welcoming space where the client sets the pace and topics to work on.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. In online CBT sessions the counsellor and client might work on small experiments, challenge unhelpful thoughts and practice new behaviours between appointments to reduce anxiety or low mood.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing techniques to help manage stress and overwhelm. These practices can be guided during a video or phone session and repeated by the client between meetings to build steadier coping skills.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options with the client and agree on the most useful directions based on needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process can include mixing elements from different approaches when that suits the person.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls are helpful for face-to-face conversation and exercises, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can work for quick check-ins or when someone prefers not to use audio. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare or travel and let people maintain continuity even when life is busy.
