About Katherine
Katherine Orr is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, parenting strains and anger. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.
Katherine describes counselling as a collaborative process. She talks through thoughts, feelings and behaviours with clients rather than handing out advice. The focus is on practical ways to manage strong feelings and reduce unhelpful patterns that make day-to-day life harder.
Her work draws on client-centred methods, cognitive behavioural ideas and psychodynamic thinking. That combination means sessions can shift between exploring past experiences, noticing current thought patterns and trying out small changes in behaviour. Conversations are straightforward and paced to what each person finds useful.
People often come for help with anger that shows up at work or at home, difficulties keeping close relationships steady, or patterns of rumination and avoidance. Katherine also supports those coping with life changes, issues around intimacy and problems linked to substance use or eating concerns.
Initial steps involve a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Katherine uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary by location. She aims to help people identify manageable next steps they can try between meetings.
How sessions work
Approaches Katherine Uses and how they fit online
Client-centred work focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the client. It helps people feel heard and decide which issues to work on first, such as understanding why anger flares in certain situations.Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. In practice this means identifying automatic thoughts that escalate anger and trying alternative responses to reduce immediate reactivity.
Psychodynamic work explores how earlier relationships and experiences shape current patterns. This can reveal repeating themes that contribute to ongoing resentment or difficulty managing strong emotions.
Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. Katherine will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. She treats choice as practical: different methods can be tried and adjusted based on progress and comfort.
The original biography does not list which session formats are used. Please confirm available session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, family commitments or travel, and can allow shorter check-ins when time is tight. They also remove the need to travel to appointments and can help keep weekly routines consistent. Registered or accredited professionals can offer a range of session styles, and Katherine will help match the practical arrangements to the work you want to do.
