About Katie
Katie Shaw is a counsellor with more than two decades of experience. She offers a warm, non-judgemental approach that helps people talk through stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship concerns. Katie works in English and accepts international clients, and she holds BACP registration.
Katie uses several counselling models to suit each person’s needs. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual, with the therapist and client deciding together which way of working will help most.
Background and approach
Practical ideas and short-term strategies are offered alongside space to reflect and build self-esteem. Her background includes work across a variety of settings since qualifying in 2003. That range means she is used to helping people through grief, life transitions, and issues such as body image, fertility worries, cancer-related concerns and caregiver stress.
She also supports people facing addiction, divorce and communication problems. In sessions Katie pays attention to attachment and control issues, isolation and feelings of emptiness. She helps people consider choices, build confidence and manage difficult feelings.
The focus is on small, achievable steps that fit into everyday life. People can expect counselling tailored to their situation, with Katie at the centre of the work guiding each session. The aim is to increase understanding, acceptance and practical coping so people can move forward more resourcefully.
Approaches and online counselling options
Katie draws on person-centred, cognitive and solution-focused ideas to shape online work. Person-centred work focuses on listening and empathy, helping people feel heard and understood so they can explore what matters. Cognitive ideas look at unhelpful thoughts and offer practical ways to change patterns that keep anxiety or low mood going. Solution-focused ways of working concentrate on small, realistic steps and goals to create quick momentum and clearer next steps.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Katie will talk with each person about what feels most useful and adapt methods to match their goals and preferences. That collaboration helps make sessions relevant and workable for day-to-day life.
Online therapy offers flexibility across formats. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing or need to fit support into a busy schedule. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to choose the format that best fits practical needs and comfort.
