I am available for appointments within normal working hours as well as Tuesday evenings from 17:00-21:00.

Hi. I’m Kate Oswald, a therapeutic counsellor based in Hampshire.

I work with people navigating life’s challenges—whether that’s grief, big life changes, relationship struggles, self-doubt, substance misuse or feeling stuck in self-limiting patterns. I’m passionate about building strong, trusting relationships where clients can feel accepted, understood, and gently supported to explore whatever feels important to them.

My experience covers a range of areas, with particular focus on supporting people affected by substance misuse, whether directly or through a loved one. I also work with anxiety, self-esteem, and relationship challenges, helping clients build resilience, self-acceptance and healthier ways of relating to themselves and others.

My role is to offer you a safe, non-judgemental space where you can explore whatever feels important, at your own pace. I’ll meet you as you are—with warmth, honesty, and openness—and together we can begin to untangle the thoughts and feelings that may feel overwhelming or stuck right now.

I use a Person-Centred approach which means that our sessions will unfold at your pace and with your needs at the absolute fore-front. Sessions last 50 minutes and are usually held once a week. Fortnightly appointments may also be available upon request.

Some people come for just a few sessions to work through a specific issue, while others prefer a longer-term space to explore more deeply. There’s no fixed number of sessions—we’ll work together for a length of time that feels right for you.

In-person appointments are held at The Eaves Counselling and Psychotherapy in Haslemere and online appointments are held over Zoom. 

​I'm happy to have a short phone call on the phone to further discuss your needs or answer any questions you may have. 

Normally, we will start with a short phone call, free of charge, so that we can discuss your needs and preferred appointment arrangements. This is not a counselling session but an opportunity to get to know each other and discover if working together is a good fit. 

If you would then like to book a regularly scheduled appointment, you will be sent some forms to sign about our working arrangements and your first session will be yours to use as needed.
