Kitty Norman

Hello, and a warm welcome to my profile. I provide weekly 50-minute counselling sessions in person and online from my practice based in Shoreditch most days of the week. Building a relationship of trust is important for effective therapy. I offer a free initial online consultation to explore how we might work together. Please get in touch to discuss your situation and for my current availability.

I am a BACP registered counsellor with a Postgraduate Diploma in Psychosynthesis Counselling from the Institute of Psychosynthesis, London. I work with adults at all stages of life in exploring their experiences and patterns, as well as their strengths and deeper sense of identity, so they can live with more clarity, ease, authenticity, and fulfilment. I have worked with a diverse range of clients and issues, including those relating to anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, burnout, relationships, family issues, stress, anger, identity, OCD, eating disorders, loss, sleep issues, trauma, crises, sexuality, purpose and spirituality.

I come to this work believing that we all deserve to live a life of meaning, purpose and joy. Being human can be a lot. It's easy to get trapped in ways of coping that limit us and cause us pain. Often when we become lost or stuck in life, we are on the verge of a personal breakthrough to a deeper sense of who we are. In therapy we facilitate this process by developing awareness of all parts of the human experience. In doing so with empathy and curiosity, our blocks can be worked with to provide gateways to a more authentic self and soulful connection to life. 

Whether you are facing specific struggles and hardships or feel a pull towards greater self-understanding and development, my integrative toolbox helps me create a safe, relational, and supportive space tailored to your individual needs. I bring respect and dedication to the therapy process, aiming to provide you with a warm, authentic relationship where you can express yourself freely, make discoveries, and move towards your healing and growth. Feel free to contact me with any initial questions and to arrange you free initial online consultation.

Psychosynthesis is known around the world as the ‘Psychology of Hope.’ It is an integrative and transpersonal approach that holds the unique context that we can awaken and reorient our lives through the challenges we face. It provides an approach to life and personal development that includes working with early childhood and past trauma, current issues in the here and now and the vast potential for growth, healing and change.

In sessions I draw on myriad tools and perspectives to work at depth focusing on your 'whole being' - body, feelings, mind and spirit. Rather than pathologising symptoms, we explore them as messengers of a deeper meaning trying to emerge in your life. As well as talk therapy, we may explore creative techniques such as meditation, visualisations and dreamwork, all of which can help expand awareness by bringing insights and solutions beneath the habitual mind.

My approach aims to help you not only understand and relate to yourself and all your experiences more freely, but develop a toolkit of inner resources that will support you long after your therapy ends. It is particularly well suited to those going through an intense or difficult time in their personal journey, as well as those looking to access more of their potential or find deeper meaning and purpose in life. 

I offer a free initial first session online where we can explore what brings you to therapy and whether the process feels right for you. There is absolutely no obligation to continue - my priority is that you find the right therapist for you. If we agree to proceed, it is usual to commit to 6 weekly sessions following which we will take a review to decide on next steps. If you have any questions or would like to arrange your free initial online consultation, please feel free to contact me.
