In life, there are times when we cannot make sense of our emotions or behaviours on our own. There are so many reasons that someone like yourself is seeking counselling. I offer a safe environment for you to explore and make sense of your emotions in private and for you to rediscover your own unique voice within the noise of life.

Hi. Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile. My name is Kat and I am an experienced qualified Person Centred Counsellor and I run my private practice from Tardebigge Court in Redditch.

I use my intuitive nature to really hear you and connect some of the underlying dots that may have been missed by yourself or others in the past. I create a non-judgemental space so that you really feel comfortable enough to be able to share your inner thoughts and feelings that may be blocking your path somehow. Maybe you do not know what is in your way and want to work through this. Sharing can help you move forward and may help you to learn from or to change and accept your emotions in a more positive way. I do believe that happiness is an inside job.

Maybe you suffer from anxiety or are currently having relationship or family issues? Are you feeling low in confidence and self esteem issues are blocking you from living fully? Maybe you are not happy with work or are going through a divorce or separation and want to talk about your feelings. Please get in touch so we can discuss how how to move forward.

I offer counselling sessions for individual clients over the age of 18 and I am available by appointment at Tardebigge Court, Hewell Lane (in between Bromsgrove and Redditch and close to Alvechurch, Barnt Green and Burcot). I also offer online counselling sessions via Zoom.

There are free parking facilities on site and local bus services stop outside.
