Katherine Smalldon helps people who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, low or stuck. She supports those coping with relationship and intimacy issues, addiction, grief, trauma and major life changes. Katherine also works with concerns such as sleep and eating problems, parenting strain, career worries, ADHD and compassion fatigue.

Katherine is a BACP counsellor with nine years of experience. She set up her practice to offer calm, steady support when life feels difficult.

Background and approach

Sessions are paced to suit each person, with time to talk and make decisions about what to work on. In the first meetings she asks about hopes, fears and practical goals. That helps shape a plan together rather than imposing one.

Clients are invited to give feedback so the work stays relevant and useful. Her approach blends attachment-based, client-centred and cognitive behavioural ideas. That means attention to relationships and patterns, space to be heard, and practical steps to try out between sessions.

Narrative and existential ideas are used too when looking at life stories and personal meaning. People come for short-term problem solving and longer, deeper work. Katherine offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging.

International clients can be supported in English, and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How Katherine’s approaches work online

Attachment-based work pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns and emotional responses; it can help with intimacy issues, abandonment concerns and attachment difficulties. Client-centred therapy gives people space to be heard and to lead the pace of change, which suits those who need a calm, accepting place to talk. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small changes in behaviour to reduce anxiety, low mood and sleep or eating problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Katherine will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That decision can change over time as goals evolve, and she welcomes questions and feedback throughout the work.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls give face-to-face contact when needed, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is required, and live chat or text-based messaging can suit people who prefer writing or need brief daily support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or travel while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
