Katherine Orr

Katherine Orr offers support for a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, eating and food-related issues, relationship difficulties and grief. She presents a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through what is troubling them. Katherine does not give advice; she works collaboratively so clients can find their own solutions.

She trained as a BACP counsellor, which means she follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy standards. Over four years she has worked with issues such as addiction, childhood abuse, trauma, self-esteem and compassion fatigue. Katherine also supports people dealing with career questions, life transitions and feelings of isolation.

Her approach combines Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Psychodynamic Therapy. That mix allows sessions to focus on current coping skills, patterns from the past, or deeper feelings depending on what the person needs. Sessions are paced to the individual and shaped by what they want to work on.

Katherine aims to make therapy practical and understandable. Expect clear conversation about thoughts and behaviours, some gentle reflection on early experiences, and exercises to try between sessions when useful. She keeps a professional style with a personal touch, aiming to help people make changes they value.

People who come to Katherine often want a straightforward, steady way to untangle complex feelings. She works collaboratively to set goals and to review progress as therapy continues.

How Katherine’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own priorities. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows what the client brings, which can help with low self-esteem, isolation and life changes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. It often involves short exercises and practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood and change unhelpful behaviours.

Psychodynamic Therapy pays attention to patterns and past experiences that affect present feelings. It can be useful for understanding recurring relationship problems and deeper emotional reactions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Katherine will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and together they decide which methods to try. The process is collaborative and adjusts as needed.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as this profile does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time and allow follow-ups from different locations. It also makes shorter check-ins and flexible timings simpler to arrange. Registered or accredited professionals can use these options to help people continue therapy when in-person meetings are difficult.
