About Katherine
Katherine Orr offers support for a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression and parenting challenges. She also helps people facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, addiction issues, grief and problems with self-esteem. Katherine works from a non-judgemental stance and aims to create a calm place to talk things through.
She uses a collaborative approach where the person sets the pace and direction. Katherine will listen to your experience and help you notice patterns in thoughts, feelings and behaviour.
Background and approach
She does not give direct advice but helps people consider options and make changes that feel right for them. Katherine trained as a BACP counsellor, where BACP stands for British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She draws on several ways of working so sessions can be tailored to what helps you most.
That might mean reflecting on past experiences, trying practical techniques, or focusing on your immediate concerns. Her background includes work with depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, relationship difficulties, addictions and childhood abuse. She brings four years of clinical experience to her practice.
Katherine aims to combine professional care with a personal touch. People often come for short-term focused work or for longer conversations about life changes and identity. Sessions can address practical day-to-day coping, difficult memories, or how to manage strong emotions.
Katherine supports people who want to explore change and build clearer ways forward.

Approaches Katherine lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Client-centred therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. It involves listening, reflecting and helping people feel understood so they can find their own solutions. This approach suits issues like low self-esteem, life direction and relationship concerns.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts shape feelings and actions. It uses practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns and can help with anxiety, depression and stress management.
Psychodynamic work pays attention to past experiences and unconscious patterns that affect current life. It can help when recurring themes or difficult past events keep impacting choices and relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Katherine will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts the way she works as progress is made. That collaborative planning helps tailor sessions to what feels most useful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video suits fuller conversations and visual contact, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier between tasks, live chat allows quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection. These options offer flexibility so people can fit therapy around work, care duties or travel.
