Please contact me for availability, I offer sessions during the day (Tue - Sat) and in the evenings (Tue - Thu).

Hi, I'm Katie and I am an experienced Person Centred/Integrative counsellor and psychotherapist.

I offer walk and talk (outdoor) counselling and online video counselling support for adults, children and young people struggling with a variety of issues.

Walk and talk (outdoor)

Based in Preston (Lancs). Following a Person Centred approach, I offer my clients a safe space to explore their difficulties outside of a traditional therapy room, connecting with nature and embracing the benefits of being outdoors.

If you choose to try walk and talk therapy it can provide a therapeutic environment that feels less intense, especially for those that may struggle with eye contact, sitting still for long periods of time or generally having reservations about accessing traditional therapy. We walk side by side instead of sitting face to face.

Online (Zoom)

If you are not local to Preston or prefer to be in the comfort of your own home, I offer Online counselling sessions via Zoom. 

Person Centred Counselling under pins my practice, offering empathy and compassion in a none judgmental and safe space. Both my walk and talk sessions and online sessions are none directive, meaning as the client you take the lead. This approach to therapy can empower clients to explore their life experiences and identify areas for change so they can live a happier and more fulfilled life.

Single Session Therapy

If you don’t feel you can commit to long term therapy I offer single session therapy to help support you through any difficulties you are facing. This includes a consultation, extended therapy session and a takeaway sheet to help you put into practice what you have learnt in session. 

 I offer the choice of walk and talk, online or a mixture of both.

Where I work.

I offer therapy sessions online using Zoom. You can choose to have all sessions online or a mixture of remote and outdoor. Whatever suits you and your needs.
