Kathy Gale

I am expanding my practice and I currently have availability at the following times:

Tuesdays at 12 noon, 2pm and 4pm

Wednesdays at 5.30pm

Thursdays at 10am, 1pm and 5pm.

I may also have some evening space available and I am happy to work on Zoom if required.

I am a warm and thoughtful psychotherapist and executive coach with over 20 years' experience. 

I work with individuals, couples, family members wishing to work on their relationship, and with organisations and groups.

When life is a struggle, talking to a skilled and experienced psychotherapist can help. To be properly heard, understood and respected, whatever your dilemma, can be a rare and profoundly healing experience.

If you are feeling bad about yourself, are low in confidence or self-esteem, struggling with grief or loss, finding it hard to manage your anger, experiencing difference, exclusion and/or alienation, or facing challenges at work, therapy can help you to find rewarding and helpful ways forward. You can increase your happiness and self-worth, improve your relationships, and create a life with more self-awareness, self-acceptance, satisfaction and joy.

With a supportive psychotherapist, couples can find ways through the difficulties of loving relationships, or sometimes be supported to separate and/or co-parent amicably and constructively. Family members can explore and overcome problems and challenges in their relationships.

I work in all areas of psychotherapy, and my specialties include relationships, couples counselling, work, career, writing and creativity, sexuality and sexual identity,  LGBTQI+, conflict and anger management, childhood sexual abuse, self-esteem, anxiety, and dreams. 

My first career was in book publishing, where I was Editorial Director of Pan Macmillan, Marketing Director of Simon & Schuster and Joint Managing Director of The Women's Press. I am founder director of Gale & Co, which provides coaching for authors from leading publishing figures. With my colleague, Harriet Spicer, I founded and directed the executive coaching organisation, Working Edge. The common thread in my varied career is supporting people to maximize their personal, professional and creative potential.

I am based in London and mid/north Wales.

I am a humanistic psychotherapist, which means that I believe each person is the expert in their own lives and I work to support each client to find their own ways through dilemmas and difficulties to create a rewarding life. I bring my training, experience, skill, insights and expertise.

Humanistic psychotherapy is relational, which means that I will be friendly and informal, the same person in the therapy room as I am in the rest of my life. I will not be overly silent and, while I will always hold clear and appropriate boundaries, I will sometimes give examples from my own experience and usually answer questions about my own life. This is based on a belief that people learn and grow in encouraging relationships, and aims to reduce the experience of intimidation that some people can feel in therapy, while supporting the humanistic understanding that clients and therapists are equal.

I am a proactive, straight-forward and practical person as well as insightful and supportive. I am trained in a range of different therapeutic methods and I adapt the style of my work to each individual client, so that each person can flourish and grow in the way that works best for them.

After receiving an enquiry from a new client, I arrange an initial conversation by phone. I ask each person to tell me briefly why they would like to come and see me and I talk about how I can help. I explain the boundaries and administrative/practical details of therapy, such as the length of sessions, fees and confidentiality.

If you would like, you can then arrange a first session. In that session, we talk in more detail about why you would like therapy and begin the therapeutic work. At the end of that session, you can decide whether to book more and, if you do, we will book in an initial sequence of sessions.

You can decide how long or how short you would like the therapeutic work to be. We usually agree the initial number of sessions between us and, unless there is an agreement for a finite, time-limited number of sessions, I will periodically ask you if you would like to book more or if you would like to draw the work to a close. I provide my thoughts and reflections about this where appropriate, and, when we do decide to end our work together, I usually suggest at least two further sessions to round off the work and say goodbye.
