About Kate
Professional Qualifications
I have a Masters degree in Humanistic Person-Centred Psychotherapy from The Sherwood Psychotherapy Training Institute which is affiliated to Birmingham University. The parallel obligations of this 4 year course included a minimum of 450 clinical hours, 120 supervision hours and 160 personal therapy hours.
I am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) and adhere to their codes of ethics and good practice.
I continue to be committed to on-going personal and professional development, including regular supervision.
Experience
I have over four years experience of working with clients in various organisational settings, as well as in private practice. These include a GP Surgery, University, Schools, Nottingham Women's Centre and the charity The Carer's Federation. I have worked with children, young people and adults, both on short and long term contracts.
Personal Approach
It may be that you are struggling to cope with an event or situation in your current life, or it may be that something has troubled you for some time and you now feel ready to look at it. Alternatively, you may have a sense that your life isn’t everything it could be. The counselling relationship, based on safety, warmth, understanding, respect and support has the ingredients for you to unlock your potential for emotional well-being by exploring and clarifying issues that are difficult to see clearly in everyday life, and because counselling sessions are non-directive you can decide which aspects are important for you to focus on.
My committment is to be alongside you and to try and understand how it is for you, believing that together we can find some insight, a path towards a more comfortable way of being, and empowering you to make decisions and choices that are right for you. I come from a place of hope and belief in human potential, and I believe that facilitating a sense of resilience can aid emotional well-being now and into the future.
