Kathryn Sherfield , NCPS

Kathryn Sherfield is a fully qualified counsellor who provides short-term and long-term therapy tailored to a wide range of needs. She adapts sessions to meet each person where they are, offering sensitive, non-judgemental support and working to build a trusting rapport that helps clients explore their concerns and develop practical coping strategies.

She holds a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling (CPCAB), a recognised professional diploma in counselling, and is a registered and accredited member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). Kathryn primarily works in a person-centred way, creating a space where clients lead the conversation and discover their own insights while she accompanies them with empathy and warmth.

Kathryn believes that trust and mutual respect are the cornerstones of effective therapy and commits to providing regular, reliable support. She maintains professional boundaries, reviews therapeutic work and the working relationship regularly, and aims to start and end sessions on time. Sessions are 45 minutes long, and she endeavours to offer a quiet, undisturbed environment for each meeting.

Working with individuals and couples, Kathryn listens carefully, helps mediate where needed, and focuses on reinforcing positives while supporting repair and skill development. She encourages people to take the first step toward support and welcomes enquiries in a warm, non-judgemental manner.

Therapeutic approaches Kathryn uses and online support

Kathryn draws primarily on client-centred therapy, which focuses on providing an accepting, empathetic space where clients lead the pace of change and develop their own understanding and solutions. This approach is helpful for people working through self-esteem, relationship issues, grief, and life transitions.

She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical, structured approach that helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours, useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with change. Kathryn brings in mindfulness techniques to support present-moment awareness, stress reduction, and emotional regulation, which many clients find helpful alongside other therapeutic work.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Kathryn works collaboratively with each person to identify the methods that best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting the plan as the work unfolds.

Online therapy with Kathryn is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving practical flexibility for different schedules and needs. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals and therapists without sacrificing continuity of care or the therapeutic relationship.
