I'm Kathryn, the friendly face behind Talking Therapy Wakefield.

​

Clients find me warm, compassionate, accepting and insightful. They value the safe space as somewhere they can open up and explore collaboratively.

Having spent years working in the 'real world' I realised that what I enjoyed most about being work was connecting with people, listening carefully to them, and supporting them in meeting their goals. This also seemed to include them feeling better about themselves. People seemed to feel comfortable opening up to me.

Over time I felt a growing pull towards work that was more meaningful and people focused. I finally took the plunge and retrained as a counsellor in my forties having had a lifelong interest in mental health, and with a wealth of personal experience to draw on. It is an absolute privilege to walk alongside people on their counselling journey.
