Hey There
I’m Katie — An integrative counsellor, coach, and the person behind Katie’s Therapeutic Soul.
I work with people of all ages through life’s difficult chapters, bringing clinical training, genuine care, and the kind of understanding that only comes from having been through a few things myself.
All About Me
Why I Do This
My journey into counselling is rooted in my own lived experience. I first experienced depression at 17, though at the time I had no language, understanding, or support to recognise it for what it was. For many years I carried it alone — navigating life, relationships, and raising a family — simply believing this was how life was meant to feel.
It wasn’t until twenty years later, when I finally accessed counselling, that everything changed. For the first time I gained insight, understanding, and the clarity to rebuild myself in a healthier and more compassionate way.
That experience sparked a deep passion to offer others what I had spent so long without. To help people feel heard, understood, and less alone. To give people the language and insight I never had.
How I Work
I’m a warm, integrative counsellor offering private sessions tailored entirely to you. My approach blends CBT, mindfulness, and creative methods with something less easy to name — genuine human presence, and the patience to really listen.
My Ethos — “All Human Experience is Unique”
I believe every person’s experience is uniquely their own. No two people share the same circumstances, perspectives, or emotions — even when they’ve lived through similar events.
Every person who comes to me is an irreplaceable bearer of insight and meaning — and I will always treat them as such.

My Approach
Confidentiality
What you share here stays here. Confidentiality is the foundation of everything — it's what makes real honesty possible. Your sessions and personal information are held with complete privacy, care, and professional integrity.
Empathy
You will never be judged here. I bring genuine warmth and deep human understanding to every session, creating a space where you can arrive exactly as you are — and feel truly heard, seen, and valued.
Personalised Care
No two journeys are the same. Every session is thoughtfully tailored to your unique needs, pace, and goals — because your experience of life is yours alone, and your support should reflect that.
Trauma-Informed Care
Everything here is underpinned by a deep understanding of trauma and its impact. You will always be met with sensitivity, patience, and an approach that prioritises your safety and comfort above all else.
