Hi, I’m Katie

I’m a qualified counsellor supporting adults, children and young people across Dorset and Purbeck.

​

I offer a warm, person-centred and non-judgemental approach, creating a space where you can talk openly, explore what’s happening and feel genuinely heard.

​

I believe counselling should feel safe, supportive and individual to you. My role is to listen, help you make sense of what you’re experiencing and support you in finding a way forward that feels right for you.

​

I’m particularly passionate about supporting children, young people and families, as well as adults experiencing anxiety, stress, low confidence, bereavement and life changes.

Supporting children, young people & families

I’m particularly passionate about supporting children and young people through the challenges they may face as they grow.

​

Anxiety, school pressures, friendships, family changes, low confidence and difficult emotions can sometimes feel overwhelming — and young people don’t always find it easy to put those feelings into words.

​

My aim is to provide a calm, welcoming space where they can feel heard, understood and supported at their own pace.

​

I also understand how important it is for parents and carers to feel reassured and informed, while respecting the young person’s privacy and appropriate safeguarding boundaries.
