About Katherine

Katherine Smalldon offers help for stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy difficulties, addictions, trauma, grief and many other challenges. She is a BACP counsellor with nine years of experience and works with people who want to change patterns, cope with life events, or find clearer direction. Katherine keeps things straightforward in sessions.

She listens first and lets people set the pace. Conversations look at what is happening now and how past experiences may be shaping current choices.

Background and approach

Practical steps and ways of thinking are explored alongside deeper emotional material. Her practice draws on several recognised approaches so conversations can be tailored. Sessions may focus on patterns in relationships, how thoughts influence mood, or personal stories that shape identity.

The aim is to build understanding and useful ways of coping that fit each person’s life. Katherine explains what to expect at the first appointment and invites questions along the way. She encourages clients to name their hopes and worries so therapy stays relevant to immediate needs.

Progress is reviewed as therapy continues. People can work by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging, which gives options for different routines and preferences. Katherine accepts international clients and offers flexible arrangements to suit varied schedules.

Ways of working Katherine names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Approaches to therapy you can access online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of relating and feeling safe with others. It can help when relationship patterns or attachment issues cause repeated conflict or emotional distance.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and creating space for the person to make sense of their experience. This approach helps people who need non-judgemental support to explore feelings and make choices.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, examines how thoughts influence emotions and behaviour and offers practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and coping with everyday stress.

Katherine treats the choice of approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with clients about goals and preferences, then suggest routes to try together. Adjustments are made as therapy develops so the method fits the person rather than the other way round.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls work well for face-to-face style conversations. Phone sessions suit shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging allow step-by-step reflection and can fit around busy days. These options give variety and make it easier to attend from different locations and routines.
