About Kathryn
Kathryn Sherfield is a counsellor registered with the NCPS (The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society) with five years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with adults on a wide range of issues including stress, anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem, depression, grief, addictions and anger. Sessions are 45 minutes and structured to fit the client’s needs.
Kathryn uses a person-centred style as her base. That means she listens without judging and helps people develop their own awareness and strategies. She also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas, mindfulness and solution-focused techniques when they might help the client reach practical changes.
In sessions Kathryn aims to build trust and respect. She describes her role as walking alongside clients rather than solving problems for them. Conversations focus on what matters now and on small shifts that can change thinking and behaviour over time.
She holds a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling from CPCAB and is registered and accredited with NCPS. Kathryn says she adapts sessions to suit the individual and reviews therapeutic work and the working relationship regularly.
Practical details Kathryn gives include a commitment to start and finish on time, maintain professional boundaries, and offer a quiet undisturbed space. She asks people to use the online matching questionnaire to schedule a first session and explains that the subscription plan used for sessions can be cancelled at any time.
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Kathryn combines person-centred work with cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness. Person-centred work means the counsellor listens carefully and helps you find your own understanding of a problem. Cognitive behavioural techniques look at patterns of thought and behaviour and support practical experiments to shift those patterns. Mindfulness involves simple awareness exercises to reduce reactivity and notice emotional signals before they escalate.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Kathryn works collaboratively to decide what feels most useful based on your goals and preferences. She may use one method to start and add others if they suit the issue you bring, for example combining CBT-style tasks with mindfulness practices between sessions.
Confirm the specific session formats available before booking, as the biography does not specify them. Online work can help fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing easier scheduling around work or caregiving, and supporting shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt techniques to an online setting so the work remains practical and focused on real-life changes.
