Kate Gidley

Early morning, evening and weekend sessions available.

Sessions between 6am-750am available most mornings Monday - Friday. Sessions can start at anytime between 6-7am.

Monday evening: 8pm

Tuesday alternate weeks: 8pm

Wednesday evening: 8pm

Friday evening: 7pm

Sessions 8am-10am available on Saturday mornings.

I can do weekly or every other week depending on your requirements. Sessions are 50 minutes and are paid for via bank transfer. 

I provide online and outdoor therapy in South East London.

I aim to help people gain greater perspectives and the relief that comes with understanding yourself and being understood. I am client led, meaning I believe you know what is most useful for you. That said, I know starting therapy sessions may be daunting, so I will help and guide as needed. We are a team trying to work things out together.

I am integratively trained, using a combination of theories to find the best fit for the individual. I will take my lead from you and check in periodically that you are getting what you need. I have a firm basis in person centred counselling and find cognitive behaviour therapy to be useful in challenging negative thought patterns. I find working psychodynamically can be helpful when trying to understand origins of thoughts, feelings or behaviour.

Being heard and understood can be so empowering that things may start shifting when you experience that, regardless of which counselling theory is used.

I work in a trauma informed way and have completed further training in this area. I have also completed further training in: ADHD, supporting adult children of emotionally immature parents and am currently part-way through level 2 British Sign Language.

I am a qualified and registered therapist (BACP) with a post graduate diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy. I have provided counselling in an NHS service, a family support service and for an online, low cost service. I have experience providing short term and longer term therapy. I offer Outdoor Therapy in South East London, and I also offer online therapy.

I am trained in the Rewind Technique which helps reduce the impact of trauma on daily lives. This may mean a reduction of flashbacks, better sleep, less intrusive thoughts, reducing the impact of phobias, less emotional reactions to triggers and the ability to re-engage with activities that may have been difficult after a traumatic event. 

Before we decide to work together, you are welcome to have a free call so we can introduce ourselves and see if we would like to book in for a session. I can answer your questions and you can give an overview of what you would like support with. There may be occasions when I am not the best match for you and in those instances, I will try and guide you to an organisation or professional that may be suitable. After the call, if we decide to work together, I will email you the counselling contract/ agreement for you to review which we will look at together in the first session. The first session includes a small amount of admin like gathering some basic details.

Outdoor Therapy

Before starting outdoor therapy, we begin with an introduction call to see what brings you to therapy. We go through any health conditions or mobility needs that I can plan for. We will discuss location and practical details like what to do if you bump into some you know. I will send you details of where to meet.

We can walk in most weather as long as you have appropriate walking clothes and shoes. If you decide to do an online/ phone session instead, then please give me as much notice as possible, no less than 1 hour in advance of the session.

The areas I provide outdoor therapy are in South East London: Greenwich, Woolwich, Plumstead, Abbey Wood, Shooters Hill, Charlton, Thamesmead, Eltham. If you are local to these areas and your area is not listed, please get in contact if you are interested.
