Hi I'm Kath, I work from my home in Kenilworth, Warwickshire, where I have two therapy rooms, both very different. This enables me to accommodate, one to one, parent and child, family and parent waiting in the next room. I am very conscious of, and have prepared for, most sensory issues, the rooms are calming and consistent. My ethos is client/young person led, if a person is calm, engaged and comfortable then the therapeutic relationship is off to a good start. Therapy is not just about what is 'not' making you happy, it is about what 'does' make you happy too. I adapt my therapeutic style to meet the needs of the client, using cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), knowledge gained by lived experience, theoretical input and play therapy for younger children, I find humour is an important part of this process. I work with all cognitive abilities across the age ranges, assisting people in finding clarity within themselves and in a complex world. My counselling approach is cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), person centred and play therapy. I cater for chief executive officers (CEOs), Managers, Human Resources, the National Health Service (NHS), Emergency Services, Police, Armed Forces, Charities, Youth Organisations, Education, Sports, Local Authorities, Government Departments, Entertainment Industry, as well as people with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and their siblings between the ages of 5-18 years.
