Katja Brodt de Sousa

Katja Brodt de Sousa is a counsellor who focuses on helping people feel more connected to themselves and others. She speaks English and German and brings 18 years of practice supporting people through anxiety, depression, relationship strain and major life changes. Her approach is practical and person-focused, with simple steps to notice stuck patterns and try new ways of responding.

In sessions she helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours that get in the way of better relationships and wellbeing. She uses Client-Centred Therapy alongside cognitive and psychodynamic ideas to tailor work to each person. That means listening closely, offering clear observations and trying exercises that fit everyday life.

Many people come to her worried about trauma, grief, addiction or recurring problems with trust and intimacy. She also supports those struggling with sleep, anger, career shifts and caregiving stress. Work often includes looking at attachment and early family patterns to understand current reactions.

She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her practice has developed over nearly two decades in the United Kingdom and London settings. Katja aims to create a calm, straightforward space where people can test new ways of thinking and relating.

Practical topics such as coping strategies, relapse prevention and healthier boundaries commonly appear in sessions. If someone wants to work on specific areas such as body image, ADHD-related difficulties or compassion fatigue, she can adapt the focus to those goals.
