About Katja

Katja Brodt de Sousa is a BACP-accredited counsellor and psychotherapist and a Heart IQ coach working in private practice in London, United Kingdom. With 18 years of experience she supports people facing depression, anxiety, stress and a wide range of relationship difficulties, including infidelity and the challenges of separation and divorce. She helps clients identify inner blocks and patterns that undermine relationships and personal well-being, guiding them toward clearer self-understanding and stronger, more authentic connections with others and with themselves.

Katja encourages work on shame, fear and self-doubt, helping individuals to recognise and accept their unique authentic selves. Her practice is integrative - she tailors interventions to each person’s needs and has training in cognitive behavioral techniques, client-centred work and psychodynamic perspectives. This flexible approach allows her to combine practical strategies with deeper exploration of relational patterns and emotional experience.

Fluent in English and German, Katja brings a compassionate, practical style to therapy and coaching. She draws on professional accreditation with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - as a foundation for her practice, and she applies her Heart IQ coaching alongside therapeutic work to support emotional awareness and interpersonal growth.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Work

Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape the ways people connect and respond to closeness; it can be helpful for issues like attachment difficulties, abandonment concerns and intimacy-related challenges. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on empathic listening and supporting the client's own capacity for growth - this approach is useful for building self-esteem, processing life transitions and finding greater authenticity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can ease symptoms of anxiety, depression and stress through structured strategies and skill-building.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Katja will work collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals and preferences, combining techniques where appropriate to support both practical change and deeper emotional work.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging makes it easier to access consistent support without travel. These options offer flexibility for different schedules and life circumstances, and they allow licensed professionals and therapists to work with people across distances while tailoring session style to individual comfort and needs.
