About

About Kathryn

Kathryn Sherfield is a counsellor who aims to help people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem or major life changes. She presents herself as warm and non-judgemental and adapts sessions to suit each person. Her approach is practical and person-focused so clients lead the pace and topics discussed.

She holds a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling from CPCAB and is a member of the NCPS (The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society).

Background and approach

Kathryn brings about five years of counselling experience to her work and uses that background to match methods to what each person needs. Kathryn mainly uses a person-centred approach in sessions, offering a calm space to talk things through and to build self-awareness. She also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness, plus narrative and solution-focused ideas when they suit the individual.

This helps her offer both short-term support and longer term therapy depending on the situation. Sessions are typically 45 minutes and Kathryn aims to be reliable, punctual and respectful of professional boundaries. She emphasises trust and mutual respect and checks progress together so the plan stays relevant.

She also mentions experience supporting people with parenting concerns among many other issues. People who want a steady, empathetic counsellor who listens and helps them explore choices may find Kathryn a good match. She works across a wide range of difficulties including mood, trauma-related issues, relationship and coping challenges, addiction concerns and work-related stress.

Online support

How Kathryn adapts therapeutic approaches for online work

Kathryn uses a person-centred approach that focuses on listening and helping people find their own solutions. This means sessions start with what matters most to the individual and build from there, useful for issues such as low self-esteem, grief and relationship strain.

She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, a practical method that looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. CBT can help with anxiety, low mood and unhelpful behaviour patterns by teaching simple strategies to test and change thoughts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kathryn aims to collaborate with each person to decide which methods will fit their goals and preferences. She will check progress regularly and adjust techniques so the plan stays relevant and helpful.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make attendance easier around busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face discussion, phone sessions can be better when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options aim to give flexibility and make it simpler to fit therapy into everyday routines.
