About Kathryn
Kathryn Sherfield is a counsellor who aims to make it easier to take the first step towards support. She offers short and longer-term therapy and adapts sessions to suit each person. Kathryn describes herself as kind and non-judgemental, and she focuses on building a strong rapport so people feel heard and understood.
She holds the Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling from CPCAB and is a member of the NCPS, the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society. Kathryn primarily uses a person-centred approach, which means she listens closely and helps people develop their own awareness and strategies rather than giving direct solutions. Sessions run for 45 minutes and she aims to be reliable and respectful of time.
Alongside person-centred work, Kathryn draws on a range of other approaches to suit the individual. She may include techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy, mindfulness, narrative work or solution-focused methods when these help address the concern. Her practice emphasises empathy, warmth and practical steps for everyday life.
People contact Kathryn about many issues including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction, grief, ADHD and work-related strain. She also notes additional focus areas such as abandonment and adoption and foster care matters.
Her way of working is collaborative: she reviews progress regularly and adapts sessions to meet changing needs. Kathryn prioritises professional boundaries and clear appointment routines so people know what to expect.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online support
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and supporting a person to find their own answers. It helps when someone needs a space to be heard and to build confidence in their own decisions.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and introduces practical steps to shift unhelpful habits. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and stress when concrete strategies are wanted.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and increase calm. It suits people who want techniques to manage overwhelming feelings and improve sleep or focus.
Choosing the best approach is a joint process. The counsellor will ask about goals, personal preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will try methods that fit the person and review progress over time to adjust the plan.
Confirm the exact online session options before booking so you know how Kathryn runs appointments. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins between other commitments. It can also make it simpler to practise homework tasks in everyday settings and to maintain continuity when schedules change.
