Awaken and change to a new way of being.
Discovering you hold the power to see things differently and let go of what no longer serves you.
Although trained in a person-centred approach, I am an integrative therapist that uses different techniques such as creativity, transactional analysis, psychodynamics and CBT to tailor the therapy to each of my client’s individual needs.
With my authentic, accepting and down-to-earth approach, I hold the belief in seeing and hearing my clients’ stories and facilitating your own power to see changes you may never have thought possible.

About me
Hi, I’m Kate, a qualified counsellor holding an Advanced Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
Awaken In Mind Counselling has been born from my own awakening in life.
We can often feel defined by our past and those ingrained childhood beliefs. As life events come our way, our world can become unstable, and we develop coping mechanisms that may add to our stress and cause a sense of being lost.
This lost feeling can spiral with a number of other emotions adding to the mix and even the thought of changing can seem overwhelming and unachievable.
I discovered this quote in my training and this is where my personal ‘light bulb moment’ came – it’s where I sourced my inner power of knowing that we have the ability to challenge, reframe and grow.
‘I don’t want you to save me. I want you to stand by my side whilst I save myself.’

This is the key to our awakening and believe me, if I can do it so can you!
So, get in touch today and you too can

Feedback
I wanted to say thank you to you Kate. I know that this is just the beginning and there is still work to do but a feeling that’s plagued me for the majority of my life has/is breaking down and I am eternally grateful!
I have worked with a lot of mental health professionals and Kate’s nature and skills are truly outstanding and life changing/saving.
Thank you so much for everything you’ve done! You have been helpful beyond words and understand neurodivergence in such a relatable way, that is so interwoven in everything you talk about and advise. It’s such a breath of fresh air and you’ve made me feel very seen.
My sessions with Kate have made a profound difference to my wellbeing and given me the self-belief that I can continue independently to improve my life by applying strategies she has taught me, as well as helping me change how I perceive situations.
Kate was so attuned to my needs as her client and also highly efficient, which allowed for accelerated results during our sessions. I would highly recommend Kate to anybody wishing to improve their wellbeing.
Kate had a wonderful understanding of my needs and outcomes from our sessions and she conducted every meeting with empathy, thoughtful comments and observations, together with a genuine passion to support and resolve.
Thank you Kate, you’ve helped me more than you’d ever know and I am and forever will be incredibly grateful.

Clinical Supervision
For supervision, I work face-to-face in my therapy room but also offer online and telephone sessions, using WhatsApp video or Microsoft Teams. I work with trainee and qualified therapists but also in other sectors such as staff in teaching, education and pastoral support, medical settings and social and community services.
As with therapy, what I truly believe works in being a good supervisor, is the relationship. If you’re looking for a supervisor that is authentic, down-to-earth, supportive yet boundaried, then I believe I’m the right supervisor for you.
I work following the seven eyed model by Hawkins and Shohet and embrace the balance of your personal needs and the supervisee-client relationship, whilst keeping the ethical framework at the heart of our work together. I have an approachable manner that allows the work we do to be collaborative, although I am also challenging enabling your growth and development in order for you to be the best in your role for yourself and your clients/service users.
