About Kathleen
Kathleen Foulger is an NCPS credentialed counsellor in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience. She works with adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, depression, addictions, relationship strain, parenting pressures, anger, and self-esteem concerns.
Kathleen frames the client as the expert on their own life. She looks for existing strengths and practical ways to use them. In early sessions she listens to what has happened and what the person wants to change. She keeps explanations clear and uses everyday language rather than clinical terms.
When someone brings trauma, abuse, or domestic violence, Kathleen focuses on stabilising day-to-day coping first. She helps people find manageable steps to reduce overwhelm and get back some routine. For grief and loss the emphasis is on acknowledging what feels heavy and finding ways to remember while still moving forward.
For anger and relationship strain she works on understanding patterns that lead to outbursts and on replacing them with steadier responses. With anxiety and depression the aim is to break down problems into small tasks and practise new ways of thinking and behaving.
Kathleen also supports people dealing with addictions and parenting stress by identifying realistic strategies that fit into daily life. She encourages honest, plain discussion and practical problem solving rather than abstract theory. To start she asks straightforward questions and helps set clear, achievable goals.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online work
Many people looking to manage anger, anxiety or trauma find practical, evidence-based techniques useful. One common approach focuses on learning clear skills to manage strong feelings and reactions. It teaches breathing and grounding practices, spotting triggers, and trying small behavioural changes to reduce flare-ups. Another helpful approach breaks problems into small steps and teaches ways of changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours so daily life feels easier. These methods are suited to goal-oriented work on stress, anxiety, depression and anger.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and together they will choose which methods to try. This is a collaborative process with regular checks on what helps and what needs adjusting.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - they can be shorter for quick check-ins, remove travel time, and allow sessions during a lunch break or after work. If a quieter space or less screen time is needed, that can be discussed when arranging the first session. Registered or accredited professionals can work with you to match a practical setup to your daily routine.
