About Kathy Allatt
She draws on significant experience as a neonatal intensive care nurse, supporting families to bond with and care for sick or preterm babies. That background gives her a clear awareness of the emotional rollercoaster surrounding neonatal care and the challenges families face when transitioning from hospital to home. Kathy has also supported many parents through the loss of a baby and offers space to work through grief and trauma while exploring ways to live alongside that loss.
Kathy’s clinical work within the NHS, including during the pandemic, has informed her understanding of the links between physical illness and mental well-being. She is experienced in supporting healthcare workers and others experiencing work-related stress.
She is a qualified therapeutic counsellor who works with a person-centred model. Kathy holds BACP credentials - BACP is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a recognised professional body - and she aims to create a welcoming, nonjudgemental environment where people can explore issues and build coping strategies for the future.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without fighting them and to commit to actions that align with personal values. It can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and situations where avoidance has become limiting. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding each person from their own perspective, offering empathy and acceptance so clients can explore emotions and find their own solutions. This approach supports self-esteem, relationship concerns, and life transitions. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and small changes that move a person toward their goals, making it useful for people seeking focused, goal-oriented work.
Kathy approaches choice of method as a collaborative process. She will work with each person to determine which techniques best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting methods as the relationship and work progress. This shared process helps ensure the approach fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access support from home, while still working with registered professionals and therapists who apply established therapeutic approaches to help clients move toward their goals.
