About Kathryn
Kathryn Partt is a counsellor who uses an integrative approach to help people facing loss, trauma and ongoing stress. She holds BACP registration and brings five years of practice in the United Kingdom. Her style is straightforward and person-focused, aimed at making the first step feel less daunting for someone considering support.
She commonly helps people who are coping with bereavement, trauma and PTSD symptoms, anxiety and low mood. Kathryn also supports those dealing with life changes, relationship and intimacy concerns, sleeping difficulties, and challenges around self-esteem and parenting.
Background and approach
Her work includes attention to complex issues such as attachment difficulties, codependency and chronic illness related stress. In sessions she blends talking therapies to match each person’s needs. Kathryn draws on attachment-based ideas to understand relationship patterns and on cognitive behavioural techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.
She also uses client-centred listening to make room for each person’s pace and perspective. Her practice focuses on creating an open, non-judgemental space where people can speak honestly about hurt and loss. Kathryn aims to help people notice small changes that make daily life feel more manageable.
She encourages practical steps alongside exploring feelings. People can expect straightforward conversations about goals and what would help most. Kathryn supports people to set realistic aims, practise new ways of coping and reflect on progress.
The approach is collaborative and adjusted as work continues.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationship patterns shape current feelings and behaviour. Online work using attachment ideas can help people notice recurring patterns and try new responses in everyday relationships. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and acceptance, giving people space to tell their story at their own pace; this approach works well over video or messaging because it centres the person rather than a technique. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) targets specific thoughts and behaviours and offers practical strategies such as activity scheduling or thought records; these tools transfer easily to online sessions and written exchanges.Finding the best approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify goals, trial different methods and adjust as needed. That way work is tailored to the individual’s priorities, whether the focus is grief, anxiety, parenting questions or managing chronic stress.
Online formats give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, written reflection or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options help people fit therapy around work, caregiving and other commitments while keeping continuity of care with a registered professional.
