About Katja Brodt de Sousa
Katja Brodt de Sousa is a BACP-accredited and registered counsellor and psychotherapist who also works as a Heart IQ coach in private practice in London, UK. BACP refers to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and this accreditation reflects her commitment to professional standards and ethical practice.
She is dedicated to helping people identify the inner blocks that undermine their wellbeing and to supporting the unpicking of sabotaging thoughts and behaviours. Her work focuses on restoring healthier connections with others and, most importantly, with the self, guiding people toward greater self-acceptance and emotional resilience.
With over 16 years of experience in private practice, she has supported people dealing with depression, anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, infidelity, and the challenges that follow divorce and separation. She helps clients confront shame, fear, and persistent self-doubt so they can step into a more authentic sense of who they are.
Her approach is integrative and tailored to each person - drawing on modalities such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), client-centred therapy, and psychodynamic ideas depending on individual needs. She aims to collaborate with clients to find practical, compassionate ways to move forward and create more fulfilling relationships and daily life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Katja uses a blend of approaches to suit different needs. Attachment-based therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns of relating and can help when people struggle with trust, intimacy, or fears of abandonment. Client-centred therapy focuses on creating a nonjudgmental, empathetic space where the person is listened to and supported to find their own solutions - it is useful for building self-esteem and self-acceptance. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) addresses unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns by teaching practical skills to manage anxiety, low mood, and stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Katja works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps tailor work to what feels most effective for the individual.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it possible to access support from different locations and at varied times. For many people this accessibility helps maintain consistency in care and makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while still working with licensed professionals and therapists who can adapt their methods to online formats.
