Katie Norsworthy, NCPS

Katie uses an integrative way of working, combining different evidence-based techniques to suit each person. One common element is trauma-informed methods that help people process distressing events and reduce symptoms of post-traumatic stress and panic. These approaches often focus on grounding, pacing and building skills to manage strong feelings. Another strand emphasises work on self-esteem and body image, which involves practical exercises to challenge unhelpful thoughts and to strengthen self-care and self-love.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Katie discusses goals and preferences and adjusts techniques as sessions progress. That means clients and therapist decide collaboratively which methods feel helpful and which to try next.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to give flexible options. Video calls are useful for more in-depth conversations and visual cues, phone sessions can be a simpler alternative when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat suit shorter check-ins or times when not being on camera helps. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily routines while still receiving structured support from a counsellor.
