Katie Rose , BACP

Katie Rose believes that people have the ability to make meaningful, inspiring changes in their lives and she adopts a collaborative approach to support that process. She listens carefully to each person's thoughts and feelings to build a full understanding before exploring recurring patterns and the issues at hand together.

Katie draws on a range of therapeutic methods and tailors her approach to what works best for each individual. Counselling with her offers dedicated time and space to examine negative thoughts, consider choices and work out what is most useful moving forward. She works with depression and anxiety, low self-esteem, bereavement, relationship concerns and building self-confidence, and has additional training and experience in issues related to drugs, alcohol and cross-cultural matters.

At Chigwell Therapy Centre Katie aims to provide a warm, welcoming and non-judgemental environment where people can explore all parts of themselves. She works one-to-one to identify the most appropriate way of working for each person and supports clients in finding practical steps and new perspectives. Katie is BACP registered - a recognition from the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy that reflects professional training and membership of a national counselling body.

Approaches in Online Therapy and How They Help

Katie Rose uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy as key ways of working. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and emotions without getting stuck in them, then identify values and small steps to move toward a more meaningful life - it can be useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an empathic, non-judgemental relationship where the person feels heard and supported, helping with issues like low self-esteem, grief and relationship concerns.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work and Katie will collaborate with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. She encourages clients to try different ways of working and to shape the therapy together so it feels personally relevant and practical.

Online therapy sessions are offered by licensed professionals through video calls, phone conversations, live chat or text-based messaging, which can make accessing support more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives. These options allow people to work with a therapist from home or another convenient location, offering continuity and the ability to choose the format that feels most comfortable and manageable.
