Katherine Purdy

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

Hello and welcome to my page. Thank you for visiting at what I realise may be a challenging time for you.

I am a licensed therapeutic counsellor working in the UK. I support people who are anxious or grieving, frightened, lonely, struggling with sadness or in distress. I offer a warm and genuine welcome, an open heart and mind and time & space to be with you, to be alongside you for as much time as you need.

After working as a paramedic for over 10 years I decided I wanted to retrain as a counsellor. I have continued to work for the NHS and find that people can be surprisingly resilient with the right emotional support.

I will listen carefully and seek to help understand your situation. In life, we cannot change events that have already happened, but we can change how we feel about them. I believe that every one of us has the capacity to change and become the best they can be. I will offer you the opportunity to safely share your thoughts, your anxieties and your fears so that we may work together as you find your way to a calmer and more hopeful way of being. I provide a kind and confidential space to help you cope with your distress and pain.

Engaging in counselling is an act of courage and can be a rewarding and healing experience.

Is Online Therapy the Right Choice for Your Mental Health Journey?

Many people wonder if online therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions. A major benefit is flexibility – individuals can connect in the way that feels most comfortable, whether by video call, phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. That range of options often makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. All participating professionals are licensed, and it is possible to switch therapists at any time if a different fit is desired. Online therapy can therefore offer an adaptable, evidence-supported route to support for everyday mental health needs.
