Client-Centered Therapy is at the heart of Kathryn’s practice. This approach focuses on the client’s own experience, with the therapist offering empathic listening, nonjudgmental reflection, and support to help people explore their feelings and discover their own solutions. It is particularly helpful for issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and coping with life changes.

Kathryn also incorporates coaching-minded techniques to help clients set goals, build practical coping strategies, and take concrete steps toward change. This blend can benefit people managing stress, career decisions, or transitions where both insight and action are needed.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Kathryn works collaboratively with each client to decide what methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review progress and adapt the plan as required.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules and for those who prefer remote support.
