About Katherine

Katherine Orr is a BACP counsellor who offers a calm space to talk without judgement. She welcomes conversations about stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, addictions, grief, and parenting strains. Katherine focuses on practical steps people can use day to day.

She describes counselling as a collaborative process and does not give direct advice. Katherine blends several approaches so sessions can be shaped around each person.

Background and approach

She uses client-centred work to prioritise what matters to the client and to listen closely. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used when people want to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. Psychodynamic ideas help uncover patterns that repeat across relationships.

Her background includes four years working with a range of issues such as depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, relationship difficulties, addictions and childhood abuse. Katherine aims to bring a professional but personable manner to sessions. She helps people set small, achievable goals and checks progress along the way.

Sessions tend to be conversational and straightforward. Katherine will reflect what she hears and ask questions that help people identify practical next steps. Over time she and the client agree which techniques feel most useful and adjust the work accordingly.

People considering therapy are encouraged to think about what they want to change. Katherine supports that process by helping clarify priorities, manage emotions and develop coping strategies. Her approach is steady and focused on what helps day to day.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How her approaches work online

Katherine works with client-centred therapy which places the person’s experience at the heart of the work. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting and helping people find their own solutions, making it useful for exploring emotions and life decisions.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT to help identify and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. CBT is practical and is often used for anxiety, low mood, compulsive behaviours and some eating concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and Katherine treats it as a collaboration. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, try different techniques, and agree what feels most helpful as the work continues.

Online sessions can make therapy easier to fit into a busy day. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options give flexibility for timing, reduce travel, and let people choose what mode best fits their routine and comfort.
