Katherine has been extremely supportive and empathetic. I am very lucky to have her guide me through life and discuss issues. She has helped me uncover and understand a lot of factors associated with my psyche, mental, emotional and spiritual state. She approaches therapy with a holistic approach which I deeply appreciate. Strongly recommend her!

I am licensed in the UK with 7 years of professional work experience. I have experience helping clients with many challenges, such as stress and anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and coping with grief and loss. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I am trained in a variety of different approaches, such as person-centred, psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioural, existential and Gestalt and I will tailor our discussions and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to face challenges in our lives and seek out help to make changes. I consider it a privilege to support and empower you in that journey.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
