Katherine Orr offers support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship difficulties, addictions and a wide range of life challenges. She anchors sessions in a non-judgemental space where people can talk through thoughts and feelings. Katherine introduces structure when it helps and listens closely when people need to be heard.

Katherine describes herself as an integrative counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Background and approach

She blends Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Psychodynamic Therapy so sessions can be adapted to each person’s needs. That mix lets her use talking, practical tools and reflection together. In a session she focuses on what matters most right now.

Sometimes that means spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and trying new responses. Other times it means looking back at how past relationships shape present feelings. Katherine keeps the work collaborative and avoids offering direct advice.

She has four years of clinical experience supporting people through grief, intimacy concerns, parenting strain, eating and body image issues, ADHD, compassion fatigue and career worries. Additional focus areas include attachment issues, autism and blended family challenges. Katherine works in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English.

Her approach aims to help people make changes they want to see, combining practical steps with personal insight.

Approaches that guide online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and on being heard. The counsellor offers support through active listening and reflection, helping people find their own answers to stress, relationship or self-esteem concerns.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behaviour that maintain problems. It uses practical exercises and tools to test unhelpful beliefs and try alternative responses, which can help with anxiety, depression and coping with life changes.

Katherine will work collaboratively to find the best approach for each person. She discusses options, explains what to expect, and adjusts methods over time based on goals and what feels most helpful. The choice of approach is part of the work together rather than a fixed rule.

Online sessions via video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging offer flexibility for different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and other commitments while keeping the focus on progress and practical tools.
