Katy Lloyd

 I have daytime and evening appointments Monday to Thursday

I am BACP registered and accredited with 11 years of professional work experience. I have extensive experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, disability related issues, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, & coping with grief and loss. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

I offer face-to-face therapy in a cosy, comfortable therapy room overlooking a peaceful garden setting.

There is plenty of private gated parking and located within a ten-minute walk from the train station and 2-minute walk from the nearest bus stop.

Our online work takes place via a secure online video platform.

I also offer telephone appointments if preferred

On our first session, I will carry out a short assessment to find out a little bit more about you, and so we can agree a way of working together. I will explain my obligations as a therapist so you are assured I will do my best to meet your needs and work with you in the best possible way I can.

I am an Integrative Clinical Supervisor, (Diploma in clinical supervision from the Sherwood Psychotherapy Training Institute), & offer supervision to Counsellors of all stages of development. Supervisees will have a space for reflection within contracted boundaries in one-to-one sessions, which can take place online, face-to-face or hybrid.

My approach is Humanistic Integrative and I adapt my supervision style and modality depending on each supervisee’s diverse supervision needs. If you are looking for support to get Accredited with the BACP, I can guide you through the entire process.

My previous experience includes working in a managerial position in a counselling service of a large national charity. As a component of this I offered clinical supervision to volunteer counsellors and external counsellors both individually and in a group format. I currently work as a clinical supervisor for an NHS IAPT service alongside my private therapy / clinical supervision practice.

Regardless of your experience and I believe there will always be potential for further growth and development, and I will be with you to facilitate this process by working in an Educative, supportive or managerial way depending on your needs.

As an accredited member of the BACP, I adhere to the Ethical Frameworks for the Counselling Professions. My clinical work is regularly supervised by an experienced BACP & UKCP registered Supervisor.

The Initial consultation which will be approximately an hour, gives us both the space and opportunity to get to know each other and see whether we can work together, collaboratively, in a Supervisor - Supervisee relationship. It is also the time for you to discuss your personal supervision requirements and ascertain whether I am the right Supervisor for your needs.

If our expectations match, we continue to explore the structure and process of supervision by paying attention to the ethical framework, contract, confidentiality, boundaries and accountability taking into consideration your personal style of working whilst keeping at heart the best interest of your clients.

I work flexible hours and I will try to accommodate your timetable

I charge £25 for any supervisory reports required by college or university which I have completed outside our usual supervision session.
