About Kathleen Forrester
Her practice aims to create a space where people feel understood, valued, and less alone while developing realistic strategies to manage day-to-day life and major transitions. Sessions can take a more exploratory form, looking at past experiences and current patterns, or adopt a structured, goal-oriented approach when clients want focused work on planning, tackling negative self-beliefs, or building confidence. Pace and priorities are set collaboratively so the work matches what the client needs in the moment.
Kathleen addresses a broad range of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, stress, relationship and family issues, grief, and difficulties with self-esteem. She draws on a mix of client-centered listening, evidence-informed cognitive techniques, EMDR where appropriate, and mindfulness-based ideas to support practical change and ongoing personal development.

Approaches for Online Therapy and How They Help
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-judgemental space where the person’s goals and experiences guide the work. It helps people explore identity, self-esteem, and relationship issues while building self-understanding and agency.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviours interact and offers practical strategies to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, low mood, and stress-related difficulties and supports clear steps for change.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that works with distressing memories to reduce their emotional intensity. It can be helpful for people managing traumatic events, abuse, or intrusive memories.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kathleen works collaboratively with clients and registered professionals to identify which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or geographical constraints. These options make it easier to maintain consistent sessions, try different formats to suit comfort levels, and continue work through transitions and life changes.
