About Kathryn
Kathryn Sherfield is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who aims to help people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or life changes. She offers a calm, non-judgemental presence and adapts sessions to reflect each person’s needs. Kathryn works with a wide range of concerns including depression, trauma, relationship difficulties and phobias, and she approaches each conversation with warmth and empathy.
Kathryn holds the NCPS credential, the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society registration.
Background and approach
She also holds the Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling awarded by CPCAB. Those qualifications inform her practice, while she focuses on what matters to the person in front of her rather than labels. Her main style is person-centred counselling, which means she listens carefully and supports people to find their own solutions.
She blends other approaches when helpful, such as cognitive behavioural techniques, mindfulness, narrative work and solution-focused ideas. This mixing of methods lets sessions be flexible and practical. Sessions are usually 45 minutes and Kathryn aims to be consistent and punctual.
She says trust and mutual respect are key and makes space for regular review of how therapy is going. The aim is to build self-awareness, increase confidence and leave people with tools to cope outside sessions. People who choose Kathryn can expect an approachable counsellor who values kindness and clear boundaries.
She encourages anyone ready to take the first step to begin a conversation and see whether the working relationship feels right.
How Kathryn’s approaches fit online therapy
Client-centred counselling focuses on listening and supporting your own discoveries. Online sessions let this work continue through conversation, helping you reflect and build confidence even when you are not in the same room.Cognitive behavioural therapy is about spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours. In video or phone sessions Kathryn can guide practical exercises, homework and short experiments that you can try between meetings to reduce anxiety or tackle phobias.
Mindfulness techniques bring simple attention and breathing practices into everyday life. These can be taught in a live chat check-in, a short phone call, or a video session and then practised afterwards to help manage stress and mood.
Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. Kathryn will discuss your goals and preferences, and together you will choose methods that suit your needs. That collaborative decision is reviewed as therapy progresses to make sure it still fits.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how you meet. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is preferable. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick updates, reflective writing or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
