Kathryn Sherfield offers a calm, steady presence for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem or life changes. She writes plainly and listens closely, helping clients feel heard and more able to cope. Kathryn aims to make sessions approachable and tailored to each person’s needs.

Kathryn trained to a high level in therapeutic counselling and holds the NCPS credential. She uses a person-centred way of working, which means she focuses on the client’s experience and respects each person’s pace.

Background and approach

She also draws on practical methods when helpful, such as cognitive and mindfulness-based techniques. Sessions typically last 45 minutes and Kathryn emphasises reliability, clear boundaries and mutual respect. She offers sessions that can be short term or longer term depending on what the client wants.

Her style is warm, non-judgemental and practical, with attention to building useful strategies for day-to-day life. Kathryn has five years of experience and supports people with a wide range of concerns. These include anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, sleep and eating difficulties, ADHD, bipolar and career stress.

She also works with issues such as abandonment, attachment, caregiver strain, chronic illness and bereavement. Her aim is to help people recognise what already works for them and to try small changes that build confidence. Kathryn invites clients to take the first step and complete a short matching questionnaire to begin scheduling sessions.

How Kathryn’s approaches work online

Client-centred therapy places the client’s experience at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens deeply and helps you make sense of your thoughts and feelings, which can be useful for anxiety, low self-esteem and coping with change.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and trying practical changes in thinking or behaviour. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep or eating difficulties and for building coping skills.

Mindfulness-based techniques help you tune into the present moment and reduce reactivity to stress. These approaches can support people dealing with worry, emotional overwhelm or chronic stress.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Kathryn will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try together. The choice of approach can change over time as work progresses, and the counsellor will review what is helping you along the way.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break, and live chat or text messaging can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to maintain steady contact and to fit therapy around work, caregiving or other responsibilities.
