About Kat Hurst
Working in an integrative, phased way, Kat provides personalised care as an Integrative Relational therapist. She draws on a range of approaches, including cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), existential ideas and other humanistic techniques, and tailors sessions to each person’s needs while progressing at a pace that feels comfortable. Kat emphasises collaboration and non-judgemental listening, supporting clients to develop insight, self-awareness and the practical changes they seek.
Before training as a therapist she gained experience in mental health hospitals, working with adolescents and adults affected by eating disorders. She continues to work with female clients experiencing disordered eating and asks that anyone seeking support for an eating disorder remains under the care of a GP or other medical professional alongside therapy. Kat is a member of BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She is not currently accepting new clients.

Approaches and online support for trauma and anxiety
Kat commonly draws on cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and an integrative relational approach. CBT is a structured method that helps identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours; it is often used to address anxiety, panic, mood difficulties and to build practical coping skills. The integrative relational approach blends techniques from different therapies while paying attention to relationship patterns, attachment and the ways past experiences shape current responses - this can be particularly helpful after trauma or where attachment and relationship issues are central.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kat works collaboratively with each person to explore which methods feel most helpful given their needs, goals and preferences, and adapts the plan over time so therapy remains person-centred and empowering.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility - video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging allow people to access registered professionals from home or other convenient locations, fit therapy around work or family commitments, and continue care when in-person options are limited. These options support ongoing access to therapy and make it easier to maintain a consistent therapeutic routine.
