Kate Williams, Reg. MBACP (Accred.), BSc (Hons)

I specialise in working with children, young people and adults and have worked for over 13 years in further education and private practice.

I am integratively trained which means I bring various theoretical models together, including the creative arts. I am EMDR and sensorimotor trained too which means I can work with single event and complex trauma.

I have experience of working effectively with a number of issues including anxiety, depression, historical trauma and abuse, single event trauma's like a care accident, relationship issues, bereavement, panic & stress, family problems, identity, trauma, loss of purpose among many other issues. What I notice most in clients is that a number of stressors build up and learnt ways of coping no longer work. Counselling can help you to gain a deeper understanding of your problems and possible causes and through exploring these problems, new ways of coping tend to emerge. These new ways of dealing with life, or ‘being in the world’ tend to be longer lasting as they are carefully considered and talked through in therapy and older, more outdated ways are coping can be adapted or let go off.

After our initial email or telephone or email conversation, our first session will be an assessment where we will work out together whether counselling will be useful for you and for you to have the experience of working with me. From here we will decide on the number of session to start with. I offer both short term and long term counselling.

I also offer supervision for trainee and qualified counsellors. Please contact me to find out more.

As well as counselling I also tutor on various counselling courses and run local CPD.

Prices are £50 an hour
