About Kathryn
Kathryn Partt is a counsellor who works in an integrative way, drawing on several therapeutic approaches to suit each person. She has five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and focuses on bereavement, trauma and stress-related concerns. Kathryn aims to make the first step easier for people who are worried about starting therapy.
In sessions she helps people talk through anxiety, depression and the impact of major life changes. She supports those coping with grief and loss and those recovering from abuse or traumatic experiences. Conversations are straightforward and focused on everyday problems, such as sleep difficulties, low self-esteem and caring responsibilities.
Kathryn uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs, including attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening and cognitive-behavioural techniques. This allows sessions to be practical when needed, and reflective when exploring feelings about relationships or past events.
She works with issues that often overlap, such as relationship and intimacy difficulties, parenting strain and work-related stress or compassion fatigue. Kathryn also supports people affected by chronic illness, cancer, or long-term pain who are finding life changes hard to manage.
Her BACP membership is listed as a professional credential. Kathryn encourages an open, non-judgemental space where people can share difficult thoughts and emotions and start to find clearer ways forward.
How Kathryn’s approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work focuses on how early and current relationships shape feelings and reactions. It helps people who struggle with trust, abandonment worries or strong emotional reactions in relationships by looking at patterns and building safer ways of relating.Client-centred therapy emphasises being heard and understood. Sessions prioritise the person’s experience, using empathic listening and reflection so the client can make sense of feelings and decide on next steps.
Cognitive-behavioural techniques look at thoughts, behaviours and routines that keep problems going. They can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep issues by testing unhelpful thoughts and practising clearer actions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and will adapt methods as progress is made. This is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter or more flexible check-ins when needed. It also suits people who prefer to focus on conversation without travel. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly offer these practical conveniences to help therapy fit everyday life.
