Katherine Orr

Katherine Orr is a BACP counsellor who offers a calm space to talk without judgement. She helps people sort through stress, anxiety, relationship problems and feelings of loneliness. Conversations focus on thoughts, feelings and behaviours to make everyday life feel more manageable.

Katherine describes counselling as a collaborative process. She does not give advice but works with each person to find what helps them most. Her style mixes person-centred listening with ideas from cognitive behavioural and psychodynamic approaches so sessions can be adapted to the person in front of her.

Clients come with a wide range of concerns including depression, trauma and abuse, addictions and parenting strain. She also supports people dealing with grief, career change, low self-esteem and identity questions such as LGBT-related matters. Additional focus areas include ADHD, attachment and autism spectrum matters.

Work in sessions can be practical or reflective depending on need. Some meetings look at thinking patterns and small experiments to try between sessions. Other times the focus is on understanding past experiences and how they shape current reactions.

Katherine aims for a professional approach with a personal touch. She draws on four years of practice and her British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy accreditation to guide the work. People who want a thoughtful, collaborative counsellor often choose to begin here.

How Katherine's approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and supporting the person as they find their own answers. It helps when someone needs acceptance, clearer self-understanding or help making a choice.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviours and uses simple experiments to change how someone feels. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and unhelpful patterns that keep repeating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katherine will talk with the client about goals and preferences and decide together which methods to try. This collaborative process means the plan can change as the person learns what helps.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and to continue work across locations. It can reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed.
