Kathryn Sherfield, NCPS

Kathryn Sherfield is a counsellor who aims to help people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain or grief. She introduces a calm, non-judgemental presence so clients can talk through what matters to them. Kathryn uses a flexible style that adapts to each person’s needs and pace.

She holds the Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling from CPCAB and is a member of the NCPS (The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society). Kathryn commonly draws on person-centred work and adds other approaches when they better suit a person’s situation. Sessions are typically 45 minutes long.

In practice she helps people look at unhelpful patterns and build everyday strategies. That can mean working on low self-esteem, managing anxiety, coping with life changes, or navigating intimacy and relationship issues. Kathryn also supports people dealing with trauma, addiction, sleep and eating concerns, or stress from caring roles.

Her style is warm and straightforward. She listens, reflects, and helps people notice small changes that make a difference. The aim is to increase confidence and leave clients with practical tools they can use after therapy.

Kathryn emphasises trust and clear boundaries in the therapeutic relationship. She checks progress regularly and adapts the plan as needed. If you want to begin, she invites you to take the first step and make contact to see if there is a connection.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what you say so you feel heard and respected. It helps with low self-worth, relationship worries and feeling stuck by letting you lead the pace and topic of sessions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and helps you test new ways of thinking. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and managing unhelpful habits. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing techniques to reduce reactivity and improve focus in daily life.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and agree a plan together. That collaborative process helps decide which methods to try and when to review progress.

The practical benefits of online therapy vary with the session options available, so confirm formats before booking. Many people find remote or flexible arrangements help fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and worksheets for use at home, and sessions still focus on building skills you can use between meetings.
