Hello, I’m Kitty
I'm a London-based psychotherapist, registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP), trainee Clinical Sexologist, writer and facilitator.
I work with people who want to understand themselves better and change things in their lives that aren't working for them.
My approach is curious, collaborative and grounded in the belief that the more we understand why we are the way we are, the more choice we have in how we move forward.
A Little About Me
I've always been fascinated by why we do the things we do. What shapes our behaviour, how our relationships influence us and why we sometimes find ourselves repeating patterns we'd rather leave behind.
This curiosity eventually led me to train as a psychotherapist.
We tend to think about mental health in terms of what's wrong with us. We give names to our difficulties, identify symptoms and look for ways to manage them. There can be value in this, but I think it only tells us part of the story.
I'm more interested in what's happened to us, the relationships and circumstances that have shaped us, and the ways we've learned to adapt along the way.
My clinical experience includes working in addiction recovery services, supporting people in the criminal justice system and working within NHS sexual health services.
Therapeutic Approach
I'm trained in Contemporary Psychotherapy, which draws on a number of different therapeutic approaches.
Rather than working to a fixed method, I adapt the way I work to each person, depending on their experiences, circumstances and what they want from therapy.
I work with people experiencing a range of difficulties, including:
- Anxiety and depression
- Low self-esteem and imposter syndrome
- Work stress and burnout
- Trauma and PTSD
- Addiction
- Body image
- Relationship difficulties, break-ups and infidelity
- Sex and sexuality
- Neurodivergence
- Identity and life transitions
I currently offer individual and couples psychotherapy online.
Sessions last 50 minutes and are priced at £80 for individuals and £140 for couples.
I generally work with clients on a weekly basis.
I believe therapy should be accessible to people from different backgrounds and financial circumstances. I offer a limited number of reduced-fee places on a sliding scale for people who may find the full fee difficult to afford. Please get in touch if you'd like to discuss this.
Alongside my clinical practice, I deliver talks and facilitate workshops exploring mental health and the ways we live and work. Drawing on my experience in psychotherapy and 15 years working in music and media, I bring both a psychological and practical perspective to these conversations.
I work with organisations to develop sessions that are relevant to their people, with an emphasis on honest discussion, useful ideas and making psychological concepts easier to understand.
