Explanation

Katharine offered the perfect balance of support and, when necessary, challenge to us and our teen daughter. Our daughter was wary about starting therapy, but Katharine offered a reassuring presence right from the start. It's always tricky thinking about "progress" in therapy, and things never "improve" in a straight line, but our daughter learned tools from Katharine that have made a real difference in how she copes with things.

Katharine is an excellent therapist, she is kind, patient and incredibly understanding. She takes the time to understand your circumstances and goes at a pace that is comfortable for you without any form of judgement. Her methods enable you to bios an excellent rapport enabling you to open up, evaluate and process your thoughts, feelings, current circumstances and how they may relate to past and present trauma while providing you with the tools to move forward. I have found my time with Katharine incredibly beneficial to my personal and professional life. As someone with a previous negative experience of therapy, l can’t emphasis enough how pleasantly surprised I have been with my ongoing sessions with Katharine.

Explanation

I am forever grateful for the work that Katharine did with me and my family. There isn't a difficult moment in my life now that goes without remembering Katharine's words which helps me to go though a that moment of time. From day one, I felt immediate connection with her because she truly listened and understood what I was going though. I never felt so understood in my life. I was fascinated how well and with few sentences she was able to summarise/repeat what she heard. She was spot on every single time. Also, she shared different perspectives that made me thing a lot after our sessions and helped me navigate my understanding of what is happening in my live with greater confidence and independence. Katharine is a very calm and caring person with a lot of knowledge and understanding in her aria of expertise.

Explanation

This is a well overdue and resounding endorsement of Katharine. I reached out to Katharine when I was really struggling with anxiety that was affecting both my professional and personal life and feel so lucky to have found her. Katharine is extremely knowledgeable and has various practical techniques to help with anxiety but is also incredibly empathetic and intuitive. She listens and asks thought-provoking questions that enable me to gain greater insight into and ultimately process thoughts I’ve struggled with for years. She has improved my quality of life immeasurably and I am so grateful to her.
