I’m Kat, Director and Lead Counsellor & Psychotherapist, supporting clients through their journey at Supportive Counselling Ltd . I work with children, young people, and adults, offering counselling that adapts to the individual rather than following a fixed model.
Many clients come to me after therapy that didn’t feel right for them. Often, this is because the approach didn’t fit who they are or how they communicate. For this reason, I prioritise creating a calm and supportive space where clients feel heard, understood, and able to engage at their own pace.
My work is neuro‑affirming and trauma‑informed. In particular, I specialise in neurodivergence, trauma, and sleep‑related difficulties, including nightmares and night terrors. Throughout my work, I collaborate closely with clients and adapt my approach to their needs, with the aim of offering counselling that feels safe, respectful, and meaningful, especially for those who have found traditional therapy difficult to access or engage with.
My counselling journey began through my own experience as a client, where I came to see how powerful it can be to feel genuinely heard and accepted. That experience continues to shape how I work today.
I trained with York Learning before completing a postgraduate diploma in Humanistic Counselling at York St John University, and I have been working with clients since January 2024, supporting people from a wide range of backgrounds and life experiences.
I offer a calm, supportive space where you can slow down, talk things through, and feel heard without judgement. Therapy with me is steady and unhurried, and we go at your pace, helping you make sense of things and find a more grounded way forward.
Many people value having time each week that’s just for them, away from the pressures of work and family life.
I am a integrative counsellor working with adults, young people and children offering a warm, supportive and compassionate space where clients can feel safe to be themselves without fear of judgement. I understand that reaching out for support can feel difficult and I aim to create a therapeutic relationship where clients feel genuinely heard, understood and accepted.
