She holds the NCPS credential, a professional counseling designation, and has completed an advanced professional diploma in psychotherapeutic counselling, reflecting focused training in therapeutic techniques and client work.

That background informs a practical, advocacy-minded approach to therapy that centers the client and their circumstances.

Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, depression, addictions, family issues, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related problems, sleep difficulties, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem, career questions, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy to shape individualized care.

Katie emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in her work. She tailors treatment plans to each person’s specific needs, selecting methods and strategies that best fit the issue at hand and the client’s preferences. Her approach balances practical coping skills with exploration of underlying patterns, aiming to support meaningful change and improved day-to-day functioning.
