About Kathleen

Kathleen Forrester is a BACP-accredited integrative therapist based in the United Kingdom who offers a warm, pragmatic approach to a broad range of emotional and life challenges. Accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), she has specialised training in adoption support counselling, EMDR therapy, and CBT counselling, and she has experience working with young people aged 11 to 21. Kathleen focuses on creating a space where people feel understood and valued while supporting them to develop practical strategies for navigating everyday life and significant transitions.

Her work moves between reflective exploration of past experiences and current difficulties, and a more structured, goal-oriented approach designed to address negative self-beliefs, insecurities, and practical life planning. Sessions are tailored to the individual and proceed at a pace that suits each person, whether the emphasis is on processing trauma and loss, improving relationships and self-esteem, managing stress or anxiety, or planning for future goals. By integrating evidence-informed techniques with a client-centered stance, she aims to make therapy relevant, manageable, and focused on meaningful change.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Kathleen draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and EMDR when working online. Client-centered therapy focuses on offering a supportive, nonjudgmental space where a person can explore their feelings and build self-awareness; it is useful for issues like self-esteem, relationship concerns, and life transitions. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and introduces practical strategies to manage anxiety, stress, and low mood. EMDR is a trauma-focused approach that supports the processing of distressing memories and symptoms related to past experiences.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Kathleen works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors techniques and session structure so therapy feels realistic and manageable.

Online therapy with Kathleen is offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility or health limitations, or those who prefer remote access. These options allow licensed professionals and therapists to maintain continuity of care while making sessions easier to attend and fit into everyday life.
