Just received this review. It sums up beautifully our brief time together and love that this is how this client felt after only three sesssions! My heart is truly warmed, I love my job🥰

"I attended three counselling sessions with Katherine, and I honestly found the experience incredibly helpful.

During my first session, I was very emotional and completely overwhelmed. I let everything out that I had been carrying, and afterwards I felt emotionally exhausted and cried for a few days.

By the second session, I already felt more positive and lighter in myself. Then by the third session, I felt much more balanced, structured, organised, and able to move forward with clarity.

Katherine never told me what to do, but instead facilitated and gently guided me through everything in such a supportive and professional way. She made me feel heard, understood, and safe throughout the process.

I’m genuinely grateful for Katherine’s support and would highly recommend her to anyone needing counselling or guidance"

I've just read something that said "Mystery is the source of understanding". I thought to myself, this feels very much like the process of counselling for many people. Together we explore the great depths of the unknown. It may be scary, exciting or even amusing at times. It may provide answers. It may provoke questions.
Whether it's to help you make sense of yourself, your feelings, your situation, the world, or other people, counselling really can make a difference to your life.

It feels really important for women to consider where they are in their menstrual cycle as they navigate life.

However, this knowledge can be really useful to bring to, and inform your therapy.

I always encourage complete openness, you can talk to me about literally anything! And it can really help when I'm aware of which phase you're in. You may be feeling more sensitive to your emotions than usual one week, or even feel more up for a challenge, depending on where you're at.

I definitely encourage 'menstrual cycle friendly therapy' in my practice! Always striving to ensure the best outcome for you.

In response to being asked many times what the lovely smell is in my therapy room, I am currently using Californian White Sage smokleless incense bricks from Aromafume.

I have shared a link for 20% off any Aromafume product below. This includes essential oils, natural mists, smokeless incense and aromatherapy roll-ons.

I am a proud advocate of Aromafume, as I've used their products for a while now, and all products are sustainably sourced, vegan, and cruelty-free.

For transparency, I will earn a very small commission. However, rather than profit personally, I promise that whatever I receive will go towards maintaining a peaceful and welcoming environment for all clients. I just want to share!

Ting, the Chinese symbol for listening, is a wonderful way to describe the real depth that can be involved when someone is wholly engaged in the process. It is my hope that when you are with me, you feel truly heard and held in this way.

Spring is just around the corner.
A time for new beginnings,
seeking sunlight and growth.
Breaking free from winter.
🌱
Winter was a time for hibernation and conservation of energy. Springtime has increasingly longer days which help to promote a feeling of hope for things to come.
Life's stresses and struggles continue, but therapy can provide that added support that will help melt away your problems like the snow, and allow solutions to emerge just as new buds do.
