Evidence-based techniques and flexible online care
Katherine uses a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the presenting concern. For anxiety and stress she draws on skills-focused work that helps people identify unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and build practical coping strategies - this can reduce overwhelming worry and improve day-to-day functioning. For addictions and substance use she applies behavioural and relapse-prevention methods that focus on recognizing triggers, strengthening motivation, and developing sustainable routines that support recovery. For trauma and abuse she prioritizes stabilising techniques and carefully paced processing work that aim to reduce the ongoing impact of traumatic experiences and increase emotional regulation and safety.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the journey, and Katherine approaches this collaboratively. She works with clients to explore what feels most helpful, adjusts methods as progress unfolds, and sets goals together so the work matches each person’s needs and preferences.
Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access support from different locations. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling, allow continuity of care when travel or other commitments arise, and make it possible to maintain regular contact with a registered professional from wherever the client is based.
