Katherine Smalldon is a qualified, BACP registered (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) integrative counsellor and psychotherapist with nine years of counselling experience. She established her practice to offer practical help and supportive therapy to people facing life’s difficulties.
She works with individuals who feel something in their life is not right - those who have reached a crossroads and are unsure where to turn next, people looking for support to make decisions or to face the past, and those wanting to address relational or behavioural patterns or manage a current crisis. It may also be that none of these descriptions fit exactly.
When it is hard to explain what is going on and others do not seem to understand, the common thread is a desire to stop feeling the way you do and to create change.
Opening up about deeply personal issues can feel daunting. Katherine takes the pace from the client’s point of view and provides an impartial, confidential space to explore what matters most.
In initial sessions she may ask about hopes, fears and expectations for therapy so she can understand how best to support the work. This is also a chance for clients to set out what they want - or don’t want - from therapy. The process is ongoing and she welcomes questions and feedback throughout.
Clients who would like to know more or book a first session are invited to make contact to see whether they are a good fit to work together.
Many people ask whether online therapy can genuinely help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One major benefit is convenience and flexibility - clients can connect in the way that suits them best, using video calls, phone sessions, live chat or in-app messaging. That flexibility often makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
All therapists offering online sessions are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to change therapists if they would prefer a different fit. Online therapy can be a practical and effective way to access support while maintaining continuity with a therapist who meets individual needs.
