Professional Counselling & Guidance for Life
"Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field. I'll meet you there."

About Me
I'm a pluralistic practitioner, which means that I integrate a variety of mental health practices as part of my approach. I work 1:1 and also with groups of people across various settings to improve their mental health and wellbeing.
My core belief, is that if we can learn to work with a greater degree of self awareness, we can nurture an ability to make more considered and compassionate choices to positively impact both our personal and interpersonal worlds.
Working with me, means you access my skills in; CBT, person-centered approach, psychodynamic work, stress and anxiety reduction, non violent communication, relapse prevention for depression, grief work, trauma informed work, abuse, self harm, suicide, and suicidal ideation.
"Live the questions now, perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer"

"a calm, well-structured approach to what was a much more involved and emotionally challenging course than I'd expected, Katy helped me develop a set of tools and a resilience, which I continue to use on a daily basis, to help me accomplish my goals, be kinder, more forgiving, and generally a happier and more in control version of myself"
