About

Kathleen Kingsley-Hughes is a person-centred therapist based in the United Kingdom who brings warmth, mindfulness and non-judgemental presence to her work. With six years of experience, she focuses on meeting people where they are and offering unconditional acceptance while supporting them to explore what is happening in their lives.

She works collaboratively, placing the client in the driving seat while accompanying them as a compassionate companion on their journey. Kathleen believes clients are the experts in their own stories and that recognising existing strengths is central to moving through difficulties.

A significant thread in her practice is helping people develop self-compassion. She supports clients to understand habitual patterns, to cultivate acceptance, and to begin the kinder inner dialogue that often opens the door to change.

Kathleen draws on a variety of approaches to suit different needs. Alongside a person-centred foundation, she uses Compassion-Focused Therapy for burnout, shame and critical inner voices, Trauma-Focused Therapy for childhood or later trauma including PTSD, Focusing-Oriented Therapy to work with the body’s felt sense, and Hakomi, a certified form of body-psychotherapy that explores sensations and body language.

She also teaches Trauma Sensitive Mindfulness and Self-Compassion and maintains a long-standing meditation practice. As a Well-Being Coach, Life Coach and Creativity Coach, Kathleen offers coaching, accountability and practical support for goals in fitness, relationships, creative careers and performance. Having been on her own therapy journey, she is familiar with how starting therapy can feel and is ready to explore that process alongside clients.

Her clinical experience includes supporting people with stress, anxiety, grief and loss, sleep difficulties, low self-esteem, motivation and confidence. She has worked with individuals from military and emergency services backgrounds, younger people exploring values and career direction, parents adjusting to children leaving home or estrangement, those navigating midlife, separation or starting over later in life, and older adults exploring ageing and meaning. Kathleen welcomes both shorter-term work and long-term exploration of inner experience.
