Katherine Steel

I am available for new clients and currently work Tues to Fri within school hours but am flexible to meet late afternoon/early evenings. I am also available at weekends.

I am able to work with you (available face to face and on line) on any aspect of your life  you may be struggling with.  What is bringing you to counselling? I am interested in your unique self and your experiences.

I am able to work with any issue including abuse ,Domestic Abuse and violence, Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) on line dating experiences, relationship difficulties, crime, bereavement, trauma, ADHD, anxiety and depression.

It could be you are feeling stuck or confused about a situation or person. There may be something that doesn't feel right and you are not sure why.  You may be walking on egg shells or intimidated by your partner, child or other family member. You may be  living with conflict and want to explore these feelings further. 

Maybe you are feeling anxious or depressed and use alcohol or substances to cope with what is going on for you.  It could be that you are thinking of entering a new relationship but unsure what you are needing and what is getting in the way of listening to those red flags.  Maybe you are wanting to find out more about yourself and why you react in the way you do in certain situations.

Ultimately your reasons for coming to counselling, your experiences and your feelings are unique to you.  I'm not here to judge or advise you but but by talking we will be able to make sense of what is going on and find a way forward together. 

As your counsellor, I will give you a safe a and confidential space.  I will listen with warmth and empathy.  I will be by your side as you explore what you feel comfortable with and help you unlock uncomfortable feelings in your own time.  My clients tell me they feel lighter and have clarity at the end of our sessions. 

Our first session will include taking a dive into your personal history, discussing any expectations of our sessions and asking questions.  The rest of our session will be for you to tell me what you choose.

As your Counsellor, I will provide you with a safe and confidential space and be there for you with whatever you wish to talk about.  I will be by your side as you explore your situation and feelings by listening, restating and asking questions.  I am highly empathic, warm and do not judge or advise.   Talking together will find clarity and a way forward. It will take a few sessions to get used to counselling and tryst each other. Once trust is established, I may offer creative work which helps shift feelings and makes sense of what is going on for you. I offer short and long term work and we will review our work regularly to ensure we are on track.

I offer a free non obligatory 10 minute telephone consultation to take initial details and answer any questions you may have and to arrange our first session.

In our first session we will talk through expectations of our sessions together .  We will take a dive into your personal history and plan a goal with what you would like to achieve throughout our sessions.  I will check in towards the end of the hour and we will plan further sessions. We will have regular reviews to ensure you are on track to work towards your goal.
