About Katherine
Katherine Smalldon helps people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy difficulties, and major life changes. She supports those facing trauma, grief, addiction, parenting strain, sleep and eating problems, attention differences and work-related stress. Katherine works to make difficult feelings easier to understand and act on.
Katherine is a BACP counsellor with nine years of experience. She offers a calm, steady presence and lets people set the pace for sessions.
Background and approach
Early meetings focus on what the person hopes to change and what they want from therapy, so goals are clear from the start. Her style mixes practical conversations with deeper exploration of past patterns. She listens for how attachment, life story and current thoughts shape behaviour.
That mix helps people notice small changes they can try between sessions. Sessions are a place to make sense of painful events, spot unhelpful habits and practice different ways of responding. Katherine draws on approaches that encourage people to tell their story, examine thinking styles and explore close relationships.
She also offers coaching-style support for career and motivation concerns. People who are nervous about starting therapy often find the first meeting straightforward and focused. Katherine invites questions and feedback throughout the process and adjusts the work to suit each person.
The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Katherine will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before, then suggest which methods to try. That choice is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses to fit what is most useful.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, written reflection or days when being on camera feels difficult. These options make it easier to keep sessions regular and to fit therapy around life commitments.
