Katharine (Kate) James, NCPS

Katharine (Kate) James is a psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom with 17 years of clinical experience. She holds the NCPS credential, a professional credential in counselling and psychotherapy, and brings a warm, client-centred style to her work.

Kate specialises in a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, self-esteem struggles, coping with life changes, family issues, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related difficulties, and challenges with eating, sleeping, parenting, anger, career and depression. She also supports people facing compassion fatigue, ADHD, abandonment wounds, blended family and family-of-origin problems, codependency, commitment and communication issues, divorce and separation, domestic violence, guilt and shame, hospice and end-of-life matters, and infidelity.

Her therapeutic approach is collaborative and tailored to each person. She draws on client-centred therapy alongside evidence-informed approaches such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), emotionally-focused therapy (EFT), hypnotherapy, Imago relationship therapy, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, narrative therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and solution-focused work. These methods are used to explore patterns, process emotions, and develop practical strategies to build resilience and clearer ways forward.

Kate aims to help people feel calmer, more confident, and more connected in their relationships and everyday lives. She offers a mix of short-term support and longer-term exploration, working alongside clients rather than directing them, and incorporates practical tools to manage anxiety, improve communication, and foster self-acceptance. Clients can access sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, depending on preference and availability.

She is not currently accepting new clients.
