About

Katherine Purdy is a licensed therapeutic counsellor practising in the United Kingdom. She welcomes people who are anxious, grieving, frightened, lonely, struggling with sadness, or experiencing distress, and aims to offer a warm, genuine presence and supportive time and space.

After working as a paramedic for over 10 years, she retrained as a counsellor while continuing to work for the NHS. That clinical background informs her belief that people can be surprisingly resilient when they receive the right emotional support.

With three years of experience in therapy, Katherine listens carefully and works to understand each person’s situation. She acknowledges that past events cannot be changed, but feelings about them can shift, and she believes everyone has the capacity to change and to become their best self. Katherine offers a kind and confidential space to share thoughts, anxieties and fears so they can work together toward a calmer, more hopeful way of being. 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.
