Hi, I’m Katie.
I’m a person-centred counsellor, but I’m also a real person who understands that life can be messy, painful and completely overwhelming—especially when you’re used to carrying everything on your own.
My work isn’t shaped by training alone. I have lived experience of trauma, difficult relationships and the parts of life people often carry quietly. Because of that, I won’t see you as a problem to fix or a list of symptoms. I’ll see you as a person who deserves to be heard and understood.
My approach is warm, real and without judgement. There is room for tears, silence, humour, swearing, messy thoughts and the things you have never felt able to say out loud.
You don’t need the right words or to have your shit together. You can simply turn up as you are, and we’ll start there.
Overwhelmed or emotionally drained
Anxious, low or stuck
Affected by past trauma or difficult relationships
Like you have been the “strong one” for everyone else
Unsure where to turn
If this sounds like you, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to go through it on your own.
“You might be feeling…”
How I can Support You
I offer online counselling sessions where you can talk openly, at your own pace, in a space that feels safe and supportive.
Together, we can explore what’s going on for you, make sense of your thoughts and feelings, and help you move forward in a way that feels right for you.
I also have a strong connection with animals, and there are future plans to incorporate animal-assisted counselling into my work.
