I'm Katherine and I am an experienced psychotherapist working in north London. I have a BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy)-accredited master’s degree, and offer open-ended, long-term and short-term one-to-one therapy.
I am a registered member of the BACP and follow their ethical guidelines in my practice, and I am committed to my own continued professional development.
You can find my profile on the following websites, which require verification of qualifications, professional registration and experience:
I provide a safe and confidential place for you to feel accepted, understood and able to freely explore the causes of your feelings and behaviours.
My approach is based on psychoanalytic and psychodynamic principles. I will be mindful of how your past experiences may influence your current patterns of thinking, feeling and relating to others.
Rather than offering my advice, we work together to bring a deeper understanding of who you are. I can support you in examining the unconscious and sometimes unhelpful choices that might be standing in your way and impeding constructive change and growth.
People come to psychotherapy for many different and varied reasons and I aim to bring a non-judgemental, respectful approach to each unique individual that I work with. It can be a challenging process but one that can also be hugely rewarding and have a positive impact on many areas of life.
I have extensive experience of working with adults with a wide range of emotional difficulties. Places of work include the NHS, private practice and a north London charity both as an assessor and a former honorary counsellor.
