About Katharine
Katharine (Kate) James is a counsellor who uses a client-centred way of working to help people who feel anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck. She holds NCPS and has worked in counselling and psychotherapy for 17 years. Kate focuses on practical ways to feel calmer, more confident, and better connected to others.
Her style is gentle and collaborative. Sessions include talking through what is causing distress and trying small, achievable steps to change how things feel. Kate uses a mix of approaches including cognitive behavioural ideas, emotionally-focused methods, hypnotherapy, and mindfulness to suit each person.
She supports people dealing with anxiety, stress, depression and grief, and those facing life changes such as separation or career shifts. Relationship difficulties, intimacy concerns and family issues are also among her focus areas. Other areas she helps with include sleep and eating problems, anger, compassion fatigue and ADHD related struggles.
Kate pays attention to patterns from family of origin, issues around abandonment or commitment, and the emotional effects of infidelity, domestic violence or bereavement. She also provides work around meaning, hospice and end-of-life concerns for people who need it.
Practical tools are part of sessions, alongside reflection and emotional processing. Kate will help clients build resilience and set manageable goals. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability.
How Kate’s approaches work in online therapy
Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and experience, giving space to talk and be heard while the counsellor follows the client’s pace. It helps when people want to understand their feelings and make choices that feel right for them.Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. It is often useful for anxiety, low mood and problems like sleep or worry.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name emotions, and then work on how those feelings affect relationships and connection. It can be especially helpful when communication and intimacy are a concern.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then shape sessions around that in a collaborative way. This means approaches can be mixed or adapted as needs change.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time so it is easier to attend regularly. Online work can allow shorter check-ins when needed, and makes it simpler to continue therapy during life transitions. Confirm the current session options with the booking process before scheduling so you know what format is available.
