About Katherine
Katherine Orr offers help for people facing depression, anxiety, stress and a wide range of life challenges. She provides a non-judgemental space to talk through difficult feelings and confusing thoughts. Katherine uses a collaborative way of working and does not give advice; instead she helps clients find what works for them.
She trained as a BACP counsellor, which means she is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
Background and approach
Katherine blends different methods so sessions can be tailored to each person. That flexibility lets conversations focus on whatever feels most useful in the moment. In practice she draws on client-centred listening to follow the person’s lead.
She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy tools to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try small experiments. Psychodynamic ideas help uncover how past experiences shape current reactions. Katherine has four years of professional experience supporting people through issues such as relationship problems, trauma and abuse, addictions, parenting strain, grief and low self-esteem.
She also works with concerns including ADHD, attachment difficulties and body image. Sessions aim to be straightforward and down-to-earth. Katherine combines professional focus with a personal touch, helping people set practical steps when they are ready.
The overall goal is to help clients feel clearer, more able to cope and more in control of next steps.

Approaches Katherine lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. Online CBT often uses short exercises and experiments between sessions to test new ways of thinking and behaving, helping with anxiety, stress and unhelpful habits.
Psychodynamic ideas explore how past experiences influence current reactions. In remote sessions this can help make sense of repeated patterns in relationships and emotional responses.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katherine collaborates with each person to decide which methods to use based on their needs, goals and preferences. She will review what helps and adjust plans as therapy progresses.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation across distances. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during busy days. Live chat or text-based messaging suits shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life and to maintain continuity when schedules change.
