About Katherine
Katherine Smalldon is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship or intimacy difficulties. She works with people dealing with life changes, grief, trauma, addiction and problems with sleep or eating. Her approach aims to make talking about hard things easier and more manageable.
Katherine is a BACP practitioner with nine years of experience. She set up her practice to support people who feel stuck or uncertain about next steps.
Background and approach
Early sessions focus on what the person hopes to get from counselling and any worries they have about the process. Sessions move at the client's pace. Katherine listens for patterns in relationships, behaviour and thinking that keep problems going.
She will help people make choices about what to try next rather than pushing a fixed plan. Her work draws on several well-known approaches, including attachment-based ideas, client-centred ways of working and cognitive behavioural techniques. These methods are used to help with practical concerns such as low mood, panic, coping after loss, difficult family dynamics and managing daily stress.
New clients can expect space to say what matters to them and time to reflect on changes that could feel manageable. Katherine welcomes questions and feedback as therapy progresses, and she adapts the process to each person's goals and circumstances.

Online support
Client-centred work focuses on listening and following the client's lead. In remote sessions the counsellor offers empathic listening and gentle reflection so people can make sense of their experience and decide what they want to change.
Cognitive behavioural techniques help spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours. These approaches work well online, with short practical exercises, thought records or behaviour experiments that can be discussed between sessions.
Choosing an approach is part of the work itself. Katherine will discuss the options with each person and jointly decide which methods best suit their needs, goals and preferences. This collaborative process adapts over time as priorities shift.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that helps. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, day-to-day support and people who find writing easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit counselling around work, family and travel commitments.
