Katie Higginson

I have availability on Monday mornings, Tuesday evenings and Thursday morning

I am an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist. I have been in practice for almost 20 years. I have worked with a range of issues including drug and alcohol issues, trauma including childhood trauma, relationship issues, bereavement and relationships.

I have 17 years experience of working with children both privately and in a primary school setting. I have knowledge of a range of theories and interventions.

My approach is based on person-centred with elements of psychodynamic and creative techniques.  

I offer both face to face and online therapy.

Client will be offered a safe, empathic, understanding and warm space to talk about and explore their issues.

I put an important emphasis on relationship and connection because I feel if that is not there, it is unlikely that therapy will be successful.

When working with children I engage parents/carers and other significant others in the child's life and will offer support and guidance where I feel it is helpful and necessary. 

The client will be offered a safe, confidential, non-judgemental space to talk about what has brought them to counselling at this time. 

Our first session will include assessment, getting a history and understanding of the issues which a client is presenting with and what it is that the client would like to get from counselling. 

I will explain the counselling process, what to expect from me, confidentiality and structure of the sessions. 

It will also be an opportunity for both myself and the client to build rapport and the relationship. 

I have availability on Monday mornings, Tuesday evenings and Thursday morning and afternoon

I have 17 years experience of working with children both privately and in a primary school setting. I have knowledge of a range of theories and interventions which I can offer to supervisees working in this area.

I mainly use the cyclical model of supervision. My approach is mainly person-centred with a strong emphasis on using creative and action techniques to enhance the supervision experience.

I offer both face to face and online supervision

Supervisees can expect a safe, empathic and warm space to talk about and explore their clients.

I put an important emphasis on relationship and will encourage feedback and opportunity to reflect and develop this.

They can expect to be able to engage with different models and ways of working. They can also expect it to be an opportunity to be reflective and be challenged. I will share my knowledge and experience when I feel it would be useful and is needed.
