About Kathryn
Kathryn Sherfield is a counsellor registered with the NCPS (The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society) with five years' experience. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, anger and relationship problems. She offers both short and longer-term therapy and adapts sessions to each person's needs.
Kathryn primarily uses a person-centred approach, focusing on helping people find their own answers rather than telling them what to do. She also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas, mindfulness and narrative techniques when these help meet someone’s goals. Sessions are 45 minutes long and Kathryn aims to be punctual and professional.
In practice she listens for what matters most to the client and helps people build small, manageable changes. That can mean identifying thought patterns that fuel anger or anxiety, practising grounding and mindfulness skills, or looking at relationship patterns and communication. Kathryn describes her role as supporting clients to raise self-worth and confidence while developing coping tools.
She has a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling from CPCAB and is a registered and accredited member of the NCPS. Kathryn emphasises trust and mutual respect and reviews therapeutic work and the working relationship regularly.
Where couples attend, Kathryn uses the same techniques and boundaries and will listen to both people, helping them try new ways of communicating and repairing the relationship where possible. To arrange a session, clients follow the site’s process for a first booking and complete a short matching questionnaire.
How sessions work
How Kathryn uses therapeutic approaches online
Kathryn commonly draws on client-centred work that places the client's experience at the centre of the session. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting and helping people identify their own priorities and next steps, which can be helpful for anger, low mood and relationship issues.She also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to notice and change thought patterns and behaviours. CBT-style techniques can help with managing anger responses, reducing anxiety and improving sleep by teaching practical tools to test and shift unhelpful thoughts.
Mindfulness practices are offered to help people pay attention to the present moment and reduce reactivity. Simple grounding and breathing exercises can be useful when someone feels overwhelmed or impulsive.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Kathryn will discuss goals, preferences and daily life, then suggest which methods to try. She treats this as a collaborative process and reviews what helps as therapy progresses.
The site notes how to book a first session; please confirm the current session options before booking as this profile does not list specific online formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and pacing to suit each person's routine.
