Therapies

Together, we work gently and practically — helping you understand what’s happening, reconnect with your strengths, and take steady steps toward a clearer path ahead.

Therapies

Kate specialises in the following therapies


Anxiety & Depression Support

Anxiety and low mood can quietly shape daily life — affecting sleep, energy, concentration, motivation, and confidence.


In our work together, we focus on:

  • Understanding patterns and triggers
  • Reducing overwhelm
  • Developing steady coping tools
  • Rebuilding motivation and clarity
  • Strengthening self-trust
  • Clients often describe leaving sessions feeling lighter, clearer, and more able to take the next step.


If you are feeling this way, you are invited to make an appointment and come and have a chat with our Counsellor.

Grief, Loss & Bereavement

Grief does not follow a straight line. It can feel unpredictable, isolating, and exhausting.


Whether you are navigating the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, loss of identity, or life that looks different than you imagined — counselling offers space to:

  • Speak openly about the loss
  • Process complex emotions
  • Reduce isolation
  • Find ways to live alongside grief
  • Rebuild meaning and direction


There is no “right” way to grieve. There is support.

Change & Life Transitions

Change — chosen or unexpected — can unsettle even the most capable people.


This may include:

  • Career changes
  • Relationship shifts
  • Parenting transitions
  • Retirement
  • Health challenges
  • Relocation


Counselling helps you steady yourself during change, clarify what matters most, and move forward with intention rather than reaction.

Body Image & Obesity Support

For many people, weight and body concerns are deeply personal and emotionally complex.


Kate brings both professional training and lived experience to this space. This work is not about shame or pressure. 


It is about:

  • Understanding the emotional drivers
  • Building self-compassion
  • Strengthening sustainable change
  • Reconnecting with your body in a respectful way


Support is tailored, gentle, and practical.
