About Me

Hello! My name is Kat and I am a BABCP accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist. We ALL have mental health and we all deserve to work through the things which distress and frustrate us. I provide a calm, safe environment and have a down to earth approach to therapy. CBT is evidence based for depression and many anxiety disorders and I ensure I follow up to date research and techniques.

My Experience

As well as a Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist I am also a HCPC registered Occupational Therapist with over 15 years’ experience working in the NHS in a variety of physical and mental health settings. I also have worked with people who are suffering chronic pain which is an area of interest.

I can see people with a range of mental health conditions including depression, low self-esteem and anxiety disorders such as panic, health anxiety and OCD. I also have experience working with clients with long term physical conditions which are impacting on mental health such as chronic pain and chronic fatigue syndrome.

I completed my MSc dissertation on postnatal mental health including postnatal anxiety disorders. I am very passionate about seeing women recover from postnatal mental health difficulties and have experience working with this client group.

I have also completed training utilising third wave CBT techniques including Mindfulness-based and Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) which influences my practice.

My Approach

    Warm and friendly
    Person centred
    Honest feedback
    Down to earth
    Encouraging and supportive
    I will use a mixture of therapeutic approaches including CBT, CFT and Mindfulness.
