Integrative approaches and online therapy options
Kathryn often draws on Client-Centred Therapy, which emphasises empathic listening and acceptance to help people explore feelings, build self-esteem, and work through grief or relationship issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and to teach practical skills that can reduce anxiety, manage mood, and support recovery from trauma and addictive behaviours. She also uses Existential Therapy to explore questions of meaning, choice, and identity, which can be particularly useful for clients facing loss, life transitions, or feelings of emptiness.Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Kathryn collaborates with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adapt methods as therapy progresses so the approach fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.
Online therapy with Kathryn is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals without travel, and they allow therapy to continue in ways that suit daily routines and practical constraints.
