How Kathryn's approaches work online
Client-centred counselling places the person and their experience at the heart of sessions. The therapist listens without judgement, helps reflect what you say and supports you to develop your own understanding and choices. This approach suits people who want space to think through feelings and goals.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, offers practical ways to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress and includes short exercises and steps you can try between sessions. Trauma-focused therapy addresses the impact of past harm and focuses on safety, stabilising symptoms and processing distressing memories or reactions in a paced way.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kathryn will talk with you about goals, preferences and how you respond to different techniques, then adapt the work as needed. That shared decision-making helps shape a plan that fits your life and needs.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions work well when lower bandwidth or no camera is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who express themselves better in writing. These options give flexibility to match how and when you want to work with a therapist.
