About Katie
I provide warm, person-centred and neuroaffirming support to children, adolescents, and adults. I draw on evidence-based approaches including ACT, CFT, CBT and mindfulness, and to help people navigate challenges, build on their strengths, and move towards meaningful goals. I am passionate about combining research, compassion, and practical strategies to support wellbeing.
Areas of focus
Therapeutic approaches
ACT
Builds psychological flexibility by accepting difficult thoughts and committing to value-driven actions.

Identifies and changes unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours driving mental health difficulties.
Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT)
Cultivates self-compassion to reduce shame and self-criticism, often for those with high levels of self-blame.
DBT
Teaches emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills — especially for borderline personality disorder.
Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)
Combines mindfulness meditation with CBT to prevent depression relapse by shifting awareness of thought patterns.
