Katie Norsworthy is a psychotherapeutic counsellor with three years of experience in mental health care. She has worked in the NHS, charity settings and independent practice. Katie offers a warm, non-judgemental space to talk things through and help people make sense of difficult feelings.

She takes an integrative approach, combining different techniques to match the needs of each person. That means sessions focus on what the individual finds most helpful, whether that is talking through past events or practising ways to manage strong emotions.

Background and approach

Katie often supports people dealing with anxiety, stress and depression, and helps with relationship concerns and self-esteem issues. Many people she sees have experienced trauma and struggle with guilt, shame, people-pleasing or difficulty regulating emotions. Katie also works with common trauma presentations such as panic attacks and post-traumatic stress.

She pays attention to attachment patterns and body image concerns as part of the wider picture. She has a particular interest in supporting autistic adults and uses a range of adaptations and approaches to match neurodivergent needs. Katie aims to help people untangle what is happening for them, learn more about themselves and find practical ways to cope day to day.

Sessions are offered across the United Kingdom in English, and Katie supports clients through a mix of video, phone, live chat and text messaging. She describes herself as approachable and calm, working alongside people to set goals and find what helps.

Approaches that can be used in online sessions

Katie practices with evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person. One common approach focuses on understanding and regulating strong emotions, helping people recognise triggers, notice patterns and practise new ways to respond. This is useful for anxiety, panic attacks and emotional overwhelm.

Another approach concentrates on working through trauma and its effects by gently processing difficult memories and building coping strategies to reduce their impact. This can help with post-traumatic stress, feelings of shame and people-pleasing behaviours.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Katie will work together with the client to identify goals, try techniques and adjust the plan as needed. The aim is to find what fits each person’s needs, pace and preferences rather than applying a single method.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations when visual cues help, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and live chat or text messaging suit people who prefer writing or want ongoing support between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and daily life.
