Katie Thompson – Counsellor
she/her
There are many reasons why you may be considering counselling. Are you feeling unhappy, hurt, confused or lacking in self-confidence? Perhaps you feel that you are going around in circles trying to find answers to a personal dilemma? Are you struggling to understand your feelings and emotions, or having difficulties relating to those around you? Is there something troubling you from your past or in your present?
Personal Touch
I am flexible in my approach and together we will agree on the regularity of sessions and how many sessions you will attend. This can be different for each client as each comes with unique and individual needs.
Client Focus
I work with adults and young people age 18+.

Therapy Approach
As a person-centred therapist, I offer a safe and confidential space where you can talk about the issues that are affecting you. With empathy and without judgement, I will help you explore your ways of thinking and being, and support you to find ways to live your life in a way that feels right for you. Rather than giving you answers or advice, I will help you shine a light on repeating patterns of behaviour or thinking that may be holding you back, helping you to find your own direction and a greater sense of inner peace.
Therapy explained
Person-Centered Therapy
Person-Centered Therapy uses a non-authoritative approach that allows clients to take more of a lead in discussions so that, in the process, they will discover their own solutions.
