Kathryn Sherfield , NCPS

Kathryn Sherfield is a compassionate, adaptable counsellor who offers both short-term and long-term therapy to people with a wide range of needs. She creates sessions that are tailored to each person, working in a warm, nonjudgmental manner to build rapport and support practical change. Kathryn primarily uses a person-centred approach, meeting clients where they are and helping them develop their own insights and coping strategies rather than providing ready-made solutions.

She holds the Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling (CPCAB) and is a registered and accredited member of the NCPS - the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society - which reflects her commitment to recognised professional standards. Kathryn blends person-centred work with other therapeutic methods when helpful, bringing empathy, patience, and practical tools into sessions to support improvements in self-worth, confidence, and daily coping.

Kathryn offers consistent, reliable support with clear boundaries and a professional framework: sessions last 45 minutes, are started and ended on time, and the therapeutic relationship and progress are reviewed regularly. She also works with couples using the same respectful approach, helping partners understand each other’s perspectives, repair where possible, and develop skills for moving forward. Kathryn welcomes those ready to take the first step toward change and aims to provide a warm, supportive environment for that work.

Person-centred and practical approaches for online care

Kathryn works primarily from a client-centred perspective, which focuses on creating a respectful, empathic space where the person leads the pace and goals of therapy. This approach helps people explore their feelings and develop their own solutions for issues such as low self-esteem, relationship concerns, or major life changes.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical changes in behaviour and thought. CBT can be especially helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related difficulties. Mindfulness therapy is another element Kathryn brings into sessions - simple attention and breathing practices that can reduce reactivity and support better emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kathryn will work with each person to select or combine methods based on their needs, goals, and preferences so the work feels relevant and achievable.

Online therapy with Kathryn is available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to attend sessions from home or work, fit therapy around other commitments, and maintain continuity of care with licensed professionals and therapists who can adapt methods for remote delivery.
