About me

Welcome my name is Kathryn. I am an EMDR Europe/UK Accredited Consultant & Therapist and an BABCP Accredited Supervisor & CBT Therapist. I hold an enhanced DBS certificate, Professional Indemnity Insurance and registered with Aiko. I am committed to my professional development ensuring that my skills and knowledge are kept up-to-date using evidence based treatments. I hope to assist others to over come the different challenges they are facing, with the aim to alleviate their distress.
I provide safe and confidential therapy services to children, adolescents and adults for a broad spectrum of presenting difficulties, from depression and anxiety, including worry, OCD, social anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, separation anxiety, bereavement, anger, workplace stress, burn out, imposter syndrome, relationship related issues, overthinking, childhood trauma, including sexual abuse and complex PTSD. I am located in the north west of England in the United Kingdom and offer my services face to face and remotely.
I have been assisting children, adolescence, adults and families to overcome their difficulties for 20 years offering psychological and emotional support. I have worked in the voluntary, educational, public and private sectors including Bolton Lads and Girls Club, Beacon Bolton Counselling Service, Fortalice and Hestia.
It can be difficult to seek therapy for ourselves or for the people we love. It is a courageous step requiring consideration and commitment. When we view our life events in self-negating ways, we can become psychologically stuck. We may avoid exciting challenges, stay in jobs where we are miserable, engage in unhelpful and problematic relationships, and pursue destructive patterns of behaviour. Often, we are so overwhelmed that we neglect to identify our strengths, resources, hobbies, interests and our own personal resilience.
The good news is that EMDR and CBT are proven evidence based therapies. Coupled with an empathic therapeutic environment can foster natural healing whilst alleviating psychological distress. I know life can be challenging at times, but I'm willing to work alongside people and discover ways to overcome the difficulties and find new ways of living.
I wish you well and if you would like to discuss your enquiry further, please do not hesitate to get in contact.
