Kathryn Partt

Kathryn Partt is a counsellor who uses an integrative approach to tailor sessions to each person's needs. She draws on methods such as attachment-based work, client-centred listening and cognitive behavioural ideas to help people make sense of painful experiences. Kathryn is named alongside bereavement and trauma as areas she focuses on, and she aims to make the first steps toward change less daunting.

Clients come to Kathryn with a range of concerns including stress, anxiety and grief. She also supports people coping with trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, and the emotional impact of life changes. Everyday problems like sleeping difficulties, low self-esteem, career strain and caregiver stress are all within her remit.

Her approach is straightforward and practical. Sessions include listening, reflecting, and trying out ways to shift unhelpful patterns. Kathryn uses ideas from emotionally-focused and existential approaches when exploring feelings and meaning, and she applies cognitive tools to tackle specific thoughts and behaviours.

With five years of professional experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, Kathryn brings a steady and thoughtful presence to sessions. People who feel overwhelmed by loss, stuck with old patterns, or unsure how to move forward often find her approach helpful.

She works in English and practices in the United Kingdom. If someone wants to explore therapy, Kathryn invites them to take a first step and she will help them set out clear, manageable goals.

How Kathryn’s approaches translate to online work

Kathryn draws on attachment-based therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This helps when a person notices repeated difficulties in relationships or feels stuck by old responses. She also uses client-centred methods, which focus on listening, reflecting and helping people feel heard as they find their own answers. Cognitive behavioural ideas are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical experiments to change them.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kathryn treats the choice as collaborative and will discuss different methods with clients. Together they set goals and try approaches that fit the person's needs and preferences, adjusting as progress is made.

If you prefer online sessions, check the current session options before booking to confirm which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around busy days, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow people to proceed from a familiar routine while they explore deeper emotional work.
