About me and my therapy practice

My name is Kate and I am a person centred, humanistic therapist, I am 50 years old, I have lots of lived experiences, being a single mum, being in abusive relationships, having the challenges of child with mental health issues, exposure to self-harm, growing up with within a dysfunctional family with addiction problems, a family with no communication skills with the added tension of having a mixed heritage. All of the above led me to a place where I didn鈥檛 know where to turn, I didn鈥檛 know the answers! Many years ago through a maze of unrelated events I found myself sitting in a therapy chair and my journey to recovery began.

Are you in a place where you feel 鈥渟tuck鈥 are you in a place where you think things could be 鈥渂etter鈥, do you ever think 鈥淚 can鈥檛 believe this has happened again鈥 this was me, my therapist didn鈥檛 fix things but allowed me to explore what was going on and find my own way and helped me to see what drove my repeated bad decisions.

In our sessions I offer a safe, calm, non-judgemental space, where I will be here to walk along side you, to navigate through your pain with you, to let you go to those places that are in your mind but you feel awkward vocalising them to family and friends.

If any of the above strikes a cord or you want to fine tune what you are currently doing or look at why you are doing it, why not give it a go in a safe collaborative space? I did, why did I? Because I was worth it.

Practice description

The space I provide for my clients is structured to take away the initial anxiety, nervousness and uncertainty my clients may have, walking into the therapy room for the first time or meeting me as a new therapist you may find daunting. I provide a warm, cosy, calm, non-judgemental and welcoming space to put my clients at ease, at what can be for some an anxious time in their life.

Drawing on my own life experience alongside my training, as a person centred humanistic 网爆门 registered therapist I work in a engaging, open, caring, collaborative and flexible way. I like to explore with curiosity what is going on for you and walk along side you supportively, there is no rush, I will got at a speed that is right for you, I know through my own personal experience how daunting walking into a therapy room can be, my own experience is that once you cross into the therapy space anything is possible, sometimes it isn鈥檛 about a quick fix but a journey of exploration to understand what is going on and what options you have, ultimately you finding your own path.

My first session

I think it is very important that anyone who walks through into the therapy space takes time to look at what鈥檚 on offer for them, I would always suggest clients do what I did and 鈥渟hop around鈥 to get a therapist who feels like they are the right fit. With this in mind I offer a free 15 minute zoom call, where we can get to know each other and I can answer any questions you may have, if after this you want to book a session my rates are 拢65 per 50 minute session this is for both zoom calls or if you would like face to face sessions, face to face will be carried out in my therapy room in Beckenham. I have a number of reduced priced spaces, for students and those on low incomes, if you would like to discuss these please contact me.
