About Kathryn

Kathryn Partt works with people on bereavement, trauma and PTSD, stress and anxiety, and life changes using an integrative approach that draws on several therapeutic methods. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years of professional experience in the UK.

Kathryn uses a mix of approaches to suit the person in front of her. Sessions focus on helping people name what is happening, understand emotional and relational patterns, and try out new ways of coping. She aims to make sessions straightforward and practical, with time to talk through painful memories and their current impact.

Her work includes support for grief and loss, trauma and abuse, sleep and self-esteem problems, and stress linked to caring roles or health conditions. Kathryn also supports people dealing with relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting pressures, career concerns and compassion fatigue. She lists ADHD and a range of attachment and identity-related difficulties among her areas of focus.

In sessions Kathryn may use ideas from attachment-based and client-centred approaches to explore relationships and patterns. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used when helpful to address anxious or unhelpful thought patterns. Emotionally focused and existential ideas help when people are working through grief, loss of meaning or intense emotion.

Kathryn practises in the United Kingdom and works in English. To start, clients complete an online matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the site.

How Kathryn uses different therapeutic approaches online

Attachment-based therapy looks at how early and close relationships shape current ways of relating. It helps when patterns of trust, closeness or separation cause distress in adult life. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person speaking and their experiences, allowing them to find their own pace and direction in sessions. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and offers practical techniques to reduce anxiety and unhelpful thinking.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Kathryn will discuss what seems most useful in early sessions and adapt methods to match the person's goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need sessions at different times of day; discuss practical arrangements when you book the first appointment.
