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.

As a Person Centred Counsellor, I am able to work with any issue as your experiences are unique to you and our sessions revolve around you.   

I have worked for many years within the field of Domestic Abuse and Young Offenders and so have a lot of experience working with clients who are victims/survivors of abuse and crime.  I understand the cause and effect and the varying impactful issues that arise from living with or offending and the effect on the wider family and society. 

I provide a safe and confidential space while you talk about any feelings, issues and difficulties you may be facing now or from your past.  I understand that accessing counselling can feel daunting especially if you feel to blame.  I do not judge or advise, but bring empathy and warmth to enable you to open up with what you are comfortable with.  Throughout our sessions we will talk to make sense of whats been going on and find a way forward together.

Working with a person centred approach means I do not judge or advise but be by your side with whatever you wish to work on in our sessions.

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 and agree on the structure of our sessions.  I will ask other questions about your personal history  and what you wish to get out of counselling.  The rest of the session will be for you.  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.
