Katie Robinson

I am a Person Centred counsellor meaning that the client is placed at the heart of our work together. I am trained to work in a trauma informed way. Taking the first step to look for a therapist is a brave and hard decision. Please feel free to call me for a chat about whether we can work together. 

Alongside my private practice I volunteer with a charity in Leicester working with women who have suffered violence and abuse. Supporting them through our empathic and deep relationship to find lives that are more fulfilling and less controlled by the effects of trauma. This can involve psychoeducation, supporting my clients to understand why their bodies reacted the way they did in times of stress. 

Both personally and professional I have a keen interest in supporting neurodiverse clients. My experience involves supporting close family to access education and social situations, as well as working with young adults in a secondary school setting. I am also passionate about working with adults who are beginning to grow an awareness that they may be neurodiverse, and then supporting them to process their life story with more compassion and understanding.     

In our sessions I offer my empathic authentic self. I hope to create a relationship with my clients where trust is built and the client feels that they can talk about anything and will receive no judgement from me. 

I believe there is no one way to heal, no one way to grieve and no one way to be. I take the time to understand the clients frame of reference and to understand what is no longer serving the client. Perhaps there is behaviour that they wish to change, or they have low self-esteem, maybe they cannot get past something that happened to them. I am here to support the client in any way that they need.  

I offer a free 30 minute face to face, online or telephone appointment. In this session we will talk about your reason for accessing counselling and set a focus and boundaries for our work together. It is also an opportunity for you to see if I am the right therapist for you, and if you feel that I am not I can help you to find someone who you feel more comfortable with.
