Background and approach

Her style is collaborative and respectful. She listens first and builds goals around what matters most to each person. Katie draws on client-centered therapy to keep sessions focused on the person in front of her.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions. These methods are practical and can help with mood, anxiety, sleep, and managing difficult reactions. For people with histories of trauma or abuse, Katie includes trauma-focused strategies to address painful memories and reduce their day-to-day impact.

She also uses motivational interviewing when clients are weighing changes or facing addictive behaviors. The work is paced to each person’s readiness. Katie is fluent in English and offers sessions through several online formats.

Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps connect people with the right scheduling options.

How Katie’s approaches work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a working relationship that fits each person. In sessions Katie reflects what is important to the client, helps set priorities, and supports decisions made at the client’s pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions are linked and teaches concrete skills to change patterns that cause distress; it is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and many everyday struggles. Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the impact of past traumatic events by helping people process difficult memories and reduce their hold on current life when they are ready.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Katie works with clients to decide which methods match their goals, comfort level, and current needs. She adjusts pacing and techniques as trust and progress grow during online work.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to meet from home, fit therapy into busy schedules, and follow up between sessions. The variety of formats supports people who prefer talking live as well as those who like shorter, text-based check-ins.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
