About Katherine

Katherine Hunt is a counsellor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. She helps with grief and loss, career challenges, addictions, and issues like codependency and attachment concerns. Katherine aims to make it easier to take the first steps towards change.

Katherine uses straightforward, conversational sessions where people can speak openly without feeling judged. She draws on client-centred work to follow what matters most to each person. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used when helpful to spot patterns and try small practical changes.

Across her ten years in practice she has worked with people coping with trauma, anger, bipolar mood challenges, and major life transitions. She also supports those dealing with caregiver stress, feelings of emptiness, and difficulties with trust and commitment. Her background includes responding to problems linked to drug and alcohol use.

In a typical session she listens first, then helps set simple goals together. Sessions can include mindfulness exercises and solution-focused steps to build on what is already working. Katherine keeps explanations plain and practical so clients leave with clear ideas to try between meetings.

She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are offered in English and held in the United Kingdom. If someone wants to start, they complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to her availability.

Approaches that guide online counselling

Katherine draws on client-centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy to shape online sessions. Client-centred work focuses on listening deeply and reflecting back what matters to the person, helping build trust and clarity about goals. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at how thoughts and actions influence mood and behaviour, and introduces small experiments and skills to test different ways of responding.

She also uses mindfulness-based ideas to help people manage stress and stay present between sessions. These approaches are described in simple, practical terms so they can be used during day-to-day life. Katherine treats finding the right approach as a shared task - she will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and may adapt what she uses as work progresses.

If you are considering online work, check which session formats are currently offered before booking because the biography did not list formats. Online options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins if needed, and reduce travel time. Discuss practical arrangements with Katherine when you match so sessions fit around work, caregiving and other routines.
