About me and my therapy practice

My name is Kat and I am an NLP practitioner and  person centred counsellor. 

As an NLP practitioner I will work with you to identify what is going on for you, to find and change the difference that makes the difference.

We will explore how your mind and body do this state?

What would it be like to have peace and quiet in your head?

The goal of your unconscious mind is to keep you safe and sometimes this means reinforcing states that then go on to limit areas of your life as the brain is being overprotective.

There are a number of techniques than can help to reset you, in situations like fears, phobias, anxiety and stuckness. The techniques work fast and make a difference fast!

Being a person-centred counsellor means that you lead the way with your therapy. 

We work together to build a therapeutic relationship which envelopes trust in a safe, non-judgmental and confidential environment. It is important that you feel you can be accepted and heard. I will be your guide and encourage you to trust in the process. I am able to offer an integrative approach and can adapt to your requirements

We all have our own perspective of the world and people around us and I want you to tell me your story. In return I can support you to explore whatever comes up for you. I will offer respect, honesty, care and empathy, and the space to allow you to process and explore your own thoughts and feelings.

I work with children, young people and adults in the NHS and privately. As a trained nurse and health visitor, I have an understanding of medical terms and can provide a fully holistic approach. 

We all want to feel connected to people around us and sometimes this need for connection leads us to form unhealthy attachments from a young age, which we continue in later life. Through counselling you can learn about your own attachments and identify recurring cycles. Or you may want to focus on a specific area like anxiety, depression, phobias, anger or self-esteem. change doesn't have to take a long time!

Practice description

I offer face to face in central Maidstone. 

We can work together to create a focus for your work with you leading the way, whether this is to deal with a current issue that you wish to tackle, to allow you to move forward, a historic life events that still impacts today or a phobia or anxiety that stops you being able to manage everyday life events. 

As a professional counsellor and a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MÍø±¬ÃÅ 391928) your well-being and safety are my priority, and I will always be honest and open with you along your journey and hope that in return you will develop trust and we can build a therapeutic relationship where you feel supported on your journey of self-discovery and change.

My first session

I offer a free initial 30 minute telephone or virtual call where you have the opportunity to ask any questions. This call will give me the chance to help me understand what you are looking for and to ensure that I am able to meet your needs.

This call will allow you to decide whether you feel comfortable and have a sense that I can meet your needs. You can then decide to:

  • book a first session
  • have a think and contact me later 
  • or if you feel we are not the right fit just let me know
there is no pressure and you are in control.


At your first session, which will be 50 minutes long either face to face, virtually or by telephone, we will:

  • Go into further depth about your expectations and requirements 
  • Go through a counselling agreement and discuss and agree/ sign
  • Discuss areas around confidentiality and when this may be broken.
  • Discuss sessions, length, cancellations, fees, payments and contact details
  • I will take some personal details that will be kept in line with GDPR and never share your details without consent unless in the case of keeping you or someone else safe.
  • Set goals or expectations for your sessions.
At the end of this session you can decide whether you wish to continue and book further sessions.
