Hello, and welcome!
I'm Kate, an Integrative Counsellor dedicated to supporting individuals as they navigate life's challenges.
About me
My journey to becoming a therapist began with my own personal experience of seeking counselling. Through this transformative process, I discovered the immense value of having a supportive, non-judgmental space to explore one's thoughts and emotions. This experience ignited my passion for helping others and led me to pursue a career in counselling.
As a parent/carer, I hold a special interest in working with children and young people. I understand the unique challenges they face while growing up and aim to provide them with the tools and support they need to thrive. In addition to my private practice, I work as a family support worker in a local school and as a counsellor for The Matthew Hackney Foundation, a local charity that offers counselling services to primary and secondary schools. This allows me to support young individuals both in school settings and from my private practice at home.
