Katherine Orr , BACP

Katherine Orr is a BACP counsellor who offers a calm place to talk without judgement. She helps people name what feels hard and looks at thoughts, feelings and behaviour together so small changes can add up. Katherine explains things plainly and works alongside each person rather than handing out advice.

She uses an integrative approach that draws on client-centred ideas, cognitive behavioural techniques and psychodynamic thinking. That mix means conversations can focus on immediate coping skills, long-standing patterns, or the relationship in the therapy room depending on what is most helpful. Sessions are collaborative so goals are set together and adjusted as progress is made.

Katherine has four years of practice and has worked with a broad range of concerns. These include stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, intimacy and relationship problems, and issues linked to ADHD and identity. She also supports people with body image, parenting strain, career questions and life changes.

Her style is professional yet warm. People can expect direct listening, gentle challenge and practical ideas to try between sessions. Katherine aims to make therapy straightforward so it fits into everyday life and leads to clearer choices.

Sessions are offered in English and available to people in the United Kingdom and internationally. Katherine uses a subscription model for appointments that can be cancelled at any time and she will work with you to find a session type that suits your needs.

How Katherine's approaches work online

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person feels heard and understood; it helps with issues like low self-esteem, life changes and relationship worries. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical strategies to manage anxiety, depression and unhelpful habits. Psychodynamic therapy looks at patterns that come from past experiences and how they show up now, which can help with long-standing relationship and attachment issues.

Choosing an approach is part of the work. Katherine will discuss goals and preferences and together you will try methods that suit your needs. The therapist will adapt sessions over time so the approach fits how you want to work and what helps most.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video is useful for deeper conversations and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer no camera. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping the focus on practical progress.
