About Katharine

Katharine (Kate) James is a psychotherapist with 17 years of experience. She works in a warm, client-centred way to help people who feel anxious, overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of their next step. Kate aims to help people feel calmer, strengthen confidence, and improve connections in their relationships.

Her approach combines counselling, psychotherapy, hypnotherapy and mindfulness practices. In sessions she listens carefully, reflects what matters to the client, and helps identify small, practical steps to manage day-to-day life.

Background and approach

She uses techniques to reduce anxiety, explore relationship patterns, and support change across life transitions. Kate supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and compassion fatigue. She also works with concerns such as eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting strain, career stress, anger, and intimacy-related worries.

Additional focus areas include abandonment, family of origin issues, bereavement and end-of-life matters, and relationship breakdown. Practice draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas alongside client-centred listening. Hypnotherapy is offered as a complementary tool where appropriate.

Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs, aiming to build coping skills and clearer ways of relating to others and to oneself. Kate holds NCPS and practises from the United Kingdom. She offers online appointments by video, phone, live chat or text messaging.

Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time and are scheduled after a short matching questionnaire and booking process.

Therapeutic approaches that work well online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person without judgement. It helps people feel heard and find their own solutions, which can reduce anxiety and build self-trust. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep or eating problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss different methods and tailor sessions to the person’s goals, needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made over time to find what helps most.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a break at work. Live chat and text messaging support shorter check-ins or ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around busy lives and changing schedules.
