About Katherine
Katherine Orr is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. She works with people who are stressed, angry, anxious or depressed, and with those coping with relationship strain, grief, addiction or changes in life. Katherine writes that counselling is a collaborative process and she does not offer advice. She aims to help people talk through their thoughts, feelings and behaviours so they can tackle the problems they face.
Katherine combines client-centred, psychodynamic and cognitive behavioural approaches to suit each person's needs. That means sessions can focus on practical skills such as spotting thought patterns, or on understanding how past experiences affect current feelings and reactions. The counsellor describes her style as professional with a personal touch and emphasises working together rather than giving directives.
People who bring issues around anger, control, communication or intimacy will find an emphasis on discussing patterns and options. Katherine also lists support for trauma and abuse, addictions, parenting and caregiver stress among her areas of work. She notes experience with attachment issues and neurodiversity matters such as autism and Asperger syndrome.
Sessions are offered in English and Katherine accepts international clients. Cost varies with location and sessions are provided through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To start, a short questionnaire is used to match clients and then a first session is scheduled.
Her practice aims to be straightforward and practical. Conversations are intended to clarify what matters, try out different ways of responding, and plan next steps the client can try between sessions.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Katherine uses client-centred work to focus on the person's perspective and what matters most to them. That approach is about listening, reflecting and helping someone feel understood so they can decide what to try next.She also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to identify unhelpful thought patterns and test small changes. CBT-style work is practical and can help with anger, anxiety and low mood by teaching ways to notice and respond differently to triggers.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will work collaboratively to agree what to focus on, and may mix conversational, insight-focused and skills-based work depending on your goals and preferences.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and to continue when life is changing. It also allows for shorter check-ins when needed, or sessions that do more skills practice rather than long reflective work. Registered or accredited professionals can offer a range of ways to meet; Katherine will help decide what will fit your situation.
