I'm Kate and I am a qualified psychodynamic counsellor offering private therapy sessions on Fridays in St Albans, Hertfordshire. I provide a calm, confidential space where you can talk openly about what's been difficult without pressure or judgement.

My approach is relational and client led. I believe that feeling understood and supported is central to meaningful change, and I work at a pace that feels right for you.

I bring 14 years of experience working in schools in Harpenden and St Albans, with extensive training in supporting children and young people. I continue to work within educational settings, alongside my private practice, which ensures my work remains informed by current practice and safeguarding standards. I have also worked within secure adult institutional settings, which has deepened my understanding of trauma, resilience, and the impact of complex life experiences.

I welcome adults and young people who are looking for a thoughtful, supportive space to explore their experiences.

I am a registered member of the BACP (British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists) and work to their ethical framework.
