Kate is a very kind woman who makes me feel heard and validated. She is very supportive and helps me make sense of all the stuff that's happened to me (a LOT) which is still taking space up in my head. I tend to ramble a lot because of my ADHD and my head being even more full due to all the unprocessed trauma, but she never rudely cuts me off like I've had happen in the past. She just reminds me of the time and says we can continue talking about it next week. So in my opinion she's great and I highly recommend her.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Very attentive, helped me process my thoughts and gain understanding on my self and my situations. Helped me gain clarity and self confidence.
I enjoy every session with Kate. She is very good at helping you get to the core of the problem whilst also being considerate and moving at your pace. Her experience really shines through and she has helped me in many ways. Thank you Kate
absolutely adore her
I'm still very new to therapy, so have only had a few sessions, but I have never felt at ease with a therapist before. She is so kind, and easy to talk to, and opening up doesn't seem to be a hardship. Would highly recommend to nervous new comers.
Kate is really kind and approachable. I feel comfortable with her and know that she has my best interests at heart.
Kate is a very supportive, helpful, insightful and compasionate therapist.
I have only had a few sessions with Kate but both have been amazing. We still have loads to get through but she has given me the strength to share things with her that will only help improve my mental health moving forward. I would definitely recommend her for anyone struggling with anxiety.
