About Kathryn
Kathryn Partt is a counsellor who describes herself as an integrative therapist. She uses a mix of approaches to help people process grief, trauma and the stress of major life changes. She has five years of professional experience and holds BACP registration, practising in the United Kingdom.
She works with people facing anxiety, depression and burnout. She also supports those dealing with loss, relationship strain, intimacy questions and issues related to identity and LGBT matters.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical ways to manage upsetting symptoms and on making steady changes that fit everyday life. Kathryn draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She uses client-centred methods to create a respectful space for people to talk through painful feelings.
Cognitive behavioural techniques are used when people want concrete tools for managing anxiety and sleep problems. People who come to Kathryn often want support with parenting stress, career decisions, or persistent low self-esteem. She also works with complex presentations such as dissociation, chronic illness, codependency and domestic violence histories.
Her approach balances emotional processing with problem-solving steps. Her practice emphasises collaboration. Kathryn helps each person set practical goals and checks in on progress.
Her tone is straightforward and warm, aiming to make early sessions feel manageable rather than overwhelming.

How Kathryn's approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds shape present relationships. In online sessions this often means talking about patterns that repeat in friendships, parenting or romantic links and trying new ways of relating in day-to-day life. Client-centred therapy puts the person at the heart of the process, giving space to speak and be heard while the counsellor follows the client’s pace and priorities. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on practical tools to reduce anxiety, improve sleep and change unhelpful thinking, often using simple exercises between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kathryn collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs and goals. She checks in about what feels useful and adjusts the balance of emotional exploration and practical skill-building as therapy progresses.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats available before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, cut travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow people to continue therapy while managing work, family or medical commitments. Registered or accredited professionals can help you decide how to structure sessions to suit your routine and aims.
