Kathryn Sherfield , NCPS

Kathryn Sherfield is a compassionate, UK-based counsellor who offers both short and long term therapy tailored to a wide range of needs. She adapts each session to suit the individual, bringing warmth, empathy, and a non-judgmental presence to her work. Kathryn builds rapport with clients and draws on several therapeutic models to provide flexible, person-centred support that helps people explore their own solutions and develop coping strategies.

She holds a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling from CPCAB - a recognised qualification in counselling practice - and is a registered, accredited member of the NCPS (National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society). Kathryn typically offers 45-minute sessions and sets clear professional boundaries while remaining reliably available to provide ongoing support. She values trust and mutual respect and commits to starting and ending sessions on time, offering a quiet undisturbed space, and reviewing therapeutic progress regularly.

Kathryn works with individuals and couples, applying person-centred principles alongside additional techniques when helpful. Her approach aims to raise self-worth and confidence, reinforce strengths, and leave clients with practical tools for coping with stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, grief, life changes, and a broad range of other concerns. She welcomes contact from those ready to begin their therapeutic journey and strives to create a warm, welcoming environment free from judgement.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Kathryn often uses client-centred therapy, which focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic space where clients lead the pace of their own exploration - this approach supports self-understanding, self-worth, and personal growth. She also incorporates cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) to help identify unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and to build practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness therapy is another tool Kathryn may use; it encourages present-moment awareness and techniques that can reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kathryn will collaborate with each person to determine which combination of methods best fits their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made and new priorities emerge.

Online therapy with Kathryn is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility around work, family, and mobility. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, attend sessions from different locations, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for the client while still benefiting from skilled, licensed professional support.
