About Kathryn
Kathryn Sherfield is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who offers short and longer term therapy. She aims to create a gentle, non-judgemental space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, depression and other concerns. Sessions are adapted to each person and delivered with warmth and respect.
Kathryn holds the Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling from CPCAB and is registered with the NCPS (National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society).
Background and approach
She uses a person-centred approach as her core way of working, which means she listens closely and supports clients to find their own solutions rather than telling them what to do. Alongside person-centred work she draws on other methods to fit the person in front of her.
Those approaches can include cognitive behavioural techniques, mindfulness and solution-focused ideas, brought in when they help people make small, practical changes. Kathryn says therapy is a shared process and she works at the client’s pace.
She has around five years of experience and has supported people with a wide range of issues such as trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, addictions, ADHD, sleeping and eating difficulties, career stress, and parenting challenges. Her aim is to help people build awareness, raise self-worth and develop coping strategies. Kathryn values trust, regular review of progress and clear boundaries.
Sessions are 45 minutes long and she offers appointments using formats that suit different needs and lifestyles. She encourages anyone looking for support to take the first step and explore what a therapeutic relationship might offer.

Online support
She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems because it gives clear steps and simple exercises to try between sessions. Mindfulness therapy is another tool she brings in to help with stress and emotional regulation by teaching attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Kathryn collaborates with each person to decide which methods to use based on their goals and preferences. She checks progress regularly and adapts the plan if something isn’t helpful.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when more depth is needed. Phone sessions can be a good option when video isn’t possible or bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, moments when writing feels easier, or people who need to fit therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and to match the format to life commitments.
