EXCELLENT Based on 12 reviews Posted on Google Michael VincentTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been working with Kat at Supportive Counselling in York for a couple of months now. I can say honestly that Kat is a complete professional and highly proficient counsellor and psychotherapist who genuinely cares about her clients. I strongly recommend Supportive Counselling as the best counselling service in York by a considerable margin.Posted on Google Bianca Blades-MeeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kat is wonderful! We're so glad to have found her as she has been an incredible support to our teenage, AuDHD son who had been struggling with the pressure and overstimulation of secondary school, and then his first year of college. Kat's sessions have been transformational for him. The connection and psychological safety she's created for him (away from the familiarity of home) to release his thoughts, and the coping mechanisms she's equipped him with have enabled him to embrace his individuality and build his confidence to a level that makes me very emotional. His spark is coming back! We're so happy to see him laughing again and talking about his personal challenges without feeling suffocated by them. Another thing we're grateful for is Kat's wider family support and generosity with her time, providing statements for our son's EHCP review and PIP award appeals. We would recommend Kat in a heartbeat!Posted on Google Jess F M FollansbeeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The impact that Kat has had on my life through our weekly sessions has been life changing. Kat is calm, kind, compassionate, and completely person centered, which has made me feel safe and understood in ways I have never experienced before. I am confident that anyone that has the opportunity to work with Kat, will share my same sentiments. Thank you for all you do, Kat.Posted on Google Sheila MorleyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I would highly recommend to anyone in York dealing with loss.Posted on Google isabella dalleyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kat is so supportive and understanding towards neurodivergence. Best counsellor in York i will recommend to others!Posted on Google Michelle McPhersonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve known Kat for many years, and our friendship is something I deeply value. Over that time, we’ve both navigated the complexities of raising neurodivergent children, and Kat has been an incredible source of insight, offering practical tools, and thoughtful strategies that have genuinely supported me in parenting my own children. Her ability to translate professional knowledge into real-life, compassionate guidance is something quite special. As a therapist, Kat brings a grounded, person-centred approach that feels both professional and human. Although I’m not able to be a formal client, I have personally experienced some of the therapeutic approaches she uses for grief. Having previously received therapy for bereavement, I can honestly say that the methods Kat works with not only supported my experience of grief, but also helped me process layers of past trauma in a safe way. In my own work as a yoga teacher, I support students in managing anxiety through practices such as breathwork, meditation, and nervous system regulation. I also incorporate movement, mindfulness, and relaxation techniques to help improve overall wellbeing. It’s been a natural and exciting progression for us to begin collaborating, combining our skills to co-create a supportive sleep package for clients at Supportive Counselling. I believe this integrative approach offers something very powerful for those seeking both emotional and physiological support. Kat’s depth of experience, warmth, and professionalism make her someone I trust wholeheartedly - both as a friend, collaborator and as a therapist. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone seeking thoughtful, compassionate support.Posted on Google JackTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
