Kate Smith

My private practice days are Monday - Friday 6 am - 8 pm

Please contact me for availability.

I'm Kate, an experienced integrative counsellor working with adults and adolescents, online or face-to-face. I can offer you a caring, safe and confidential space for supportive self-exploration,  to help grow self-awareness, insight and resilience at your own pace.

I don’t believe there is a 'one size fits all' with counselling so my approach draws on a range of therapies including psychoanalysis, person-centred and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) that is best suited to your individual needs to help work through and support the challenges you are currently facing.

I have a warm, relaxed approach and offer effective support for a range of issues including anxiety, depression, confidence issues, bereavement, stress management, work-related issues, suicidal feelings, self-harm and relationship difficulties.

I believe we all have an innate capacity to grow and reach our potential in the right supportive environment. I aim to support and empower you with knowledge and effective tools/techniques to manage your everyday life, live fuller, and achieve your goals.

Feel free to contact me via email or phone to start your, or your teenager's, journey. 

Some clients prefer to work in one way exclusively, but some prefer the flexibility of different options at different times depending on what is going on for them in their busy lives. Below are the options I can offer through my practice;

Face to Face Talking Therapy

My practice is based in Weybridge and provides a cosy and safe space to explore what's troubling you. It is easily accessible with off-street parking. I find this type of therapy works especially well for adolescents and neurodivergent clients as we will often incorporate sensory work together.

I also have a therapy dog, a black lab, which some clients choose to have in their sessions.  This is entirely up to the client though.

Online Therapy

I offer online therapy via Zoom or Google Meet, which allows more flexibility and accessibility for clients. It allows clients to access therapy from the comfort of their own home and means I can work with clients throughout the UK.

Walk and Talk

I offer walk-and-talk therapy outside as Eco-therapy is a growing area and many people enjoy Nature's own therapy room. I live close to the river and woodland walks and this type of therapy can reduce isolation, promote relaxation, and improve physical health. 

I offer a complimentary 20-minute phone consultation to discuss what brings you to therapy at this particular time and what you hope to gain from it. 

This is a good opportunity to see if we are a good client/counsellor fit. It allows us to make introductions, discuss ways of working, and should you feel happy to move forward make an appointment for the first session. 

Before our first session, I will send you the contract and a questionnaire. I will also provide my address/Zoom invite link depending on the type of therapy you have chosen.

Therapy sessions can be weekly, monthly, or fortnightly depending on your need, time, and budget.
