More about Kathleen
- 4 years' experience
- Female
- BACP
I am a BACP Accredited Integrative Therapist with 5 Years and over 2000 hours of client facing experience, in a wide range of issues and concerns, including specialised training in Adoption Support Counselling; EMDR Therapy, CBT Counselling and working with young people- aged 11-21.
My goal in being a counsellor is to offer space for you to be understood, valued and not alone and space to support making strategies in how to navigate the world around you, as well as life changes.
Our sessions may take two main forms: Firstly, exploring concerns and worries from your past, current life struggles or planning for the future. Secondly, a more goal orientated, structured approach towards planning life and tackling challenges, negative self beliefs and insecurities at a pace that suits you.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
