About Katherine

Katherine Orr offers counselling for people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and many other personal challenges. She creates a calm space for someone to talk without judgement. Katherine works in a collaborative way and does not give direct advice. She is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Katherine blends client-centred work with cognitive behavioural ideas and psychodynamic thinking. In practice this means she listens to what matters to the person and helps them spot patterns in thoughts and behaviour. Conversations can include looking at past experiences and testing small changes in the present. Sessions aim to be practical and grounded, while still making room for deeper reflection.

Her focus covers a wide range of concerns from depression, anxiety and trauma to addiction, eating issues and parenting stress. She also supports people with attachment difficulties, autism and the strains of caregiving. Katherine pays attention to how shame, guilt and isolation affect daily life and relationships.

Katherine has four years of experience working with these issues. Her style is professional and approachable, with an emphasis on working together to find what helps. She encourages people to set small, achievable goals and to notice gradual changes.

How Katherine’s approaches can work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. The therapist reflects what is said and helps the person find their own solutions, which can help with issues like low self-esteem, grief and relationship worries.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It often uses practical exercises and small experiments to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour, which many people find useful for anxiety, depression and coping with change.

Psychodynamic work pays attention to past patterns and how these affect current relationships and feelings. It can be helpful for people who want to understand repeating difficulties and long-standing emotional themes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Katherine will collaborate with each person to decide what fits their needs, goals and preferences. That decision can change over time as the work progresses.

If you are considering online therapy, please confirm which session formats are available before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter or more flexible check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer to talk from a familiar setting or who need sessions that fit into a work break, though exact options should be checked in advance.
