Katharine (Kate) James , NCPS

Katharine (Kate) James is a UK-based psychotherapist with 17 years of clinical experience who focuses on helping people navigate anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, low confidence, and the disorienting effects of life change. She draws on a broad therapeutic toolkit to support clients in developing emotional resilience, clearer communication, and practical coping strategies that fit their daily lives.

Kate works with a wide range of concerns, including stress and overwhelm, family and parenting issues, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related difficulties, eating and sleeping problems, career transitions, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and deeper struggles with shame or emptiness. She also addresses blended family dynamics, codependency, commitment and communication problems, divorce and separation, and end-of-life or hospice-related worries.

Her manner is warm, gentle, and collaborative. Practice methods include counselling, psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, and mindfulness techniques, integrated with client-centered principles and evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral and emotion-focused methods. She holds the NCPS credential, a recognised counselling and psychotherapy qualification that indicates specialised training in therapeutic work.

Therapy with Kate aims to be tailored to each person - whether the need is short-term support or a longer exploration of patterns and meaning. She offers flexible online sessions, and she is not currently accepting new clients.
