person-centred, compassionate therapy in a quiet garden setting .
Hello, I'm Katie.
If things are difficult right now, I'm glad you're here.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or exhausted from holding everything together, therapy can offer a place to pause and breathe.
You might be facing something particularly painful, questioning who you are, or simply sensing that something needs attention. You may be longing for a space that feels safe enough to unpack how you’re feeling, especially when even close relationships carry expectations, roles, and unspoken dynamics.
I offer a non-judgemental, compassionate space where you don’t need to be anything other than you are. There are no expectations here. Therapy with me is somewhere you can expect to be met with genuine presence and care; to be seen, heard, and understood.
How I work
I work in a person-centred way, which means I see you as the expert on your own life. I believe we each have an inner sense of what we need, so my role is not to 'fix' or direct you, but to offer a genuine, supportive relationship where you can hear yourself more clearly and find your way, however that looks for you.
I'll do my best to understand what it means to be you, with deep respect for what I can never fully know. I follow your lead and share my reflections along the way. You trust me with your inner world, and I meet that trust with honesty and care. This trusting relationship is at the heart of the work. Often, genuine human connection can be healing in itself, especially when it is so different from what many of us have experienced.
We work at your pace, with room for uncertainty, slowness, and not having it all figured out. We can take things slowly as we begin to make sense of what you’re carrying, together.
Who this space is for
I offer a particular welcome for anyone who has been left with the sense they are “too much,” “not enough,” “wrong,” or “broken.” I work in a trauma-sensitive, anti-oppressive way, holding space for you to define your experiences on your own terms.
While my work is shaped by lived experience and awareness of LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent experiences, my practice is open to anyone seeking a space where context, power, and difference are held with deep respect and care, and where no assumptions are made about who you are or what you need.
