About Kathryn
Kathryn Sherfield offers a calm, steady presence for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, loss or big life changes. She uses a warm, non-judgemental manner to help people talk things through and find clearer ways forward. Kathryn’s approach aims to raise self-worth and build practical coping skills you can use between sessions.
Kathryn holds the Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling from CPCAB and is registered with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society, NCPS.
Background and approach
She draws on person-centred methods and borrows techniques from other models to fit each person’s needs. Sessions are 45 minutes long and Kathryn commits to starting and finishing on time. Her practice covers a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, addictions, sleep and eating difficulties, ADHD and compassion fatigue.
Kathryn also works with issues such as abandonment, attachment, codependency, chronic illness, caregiver stress and career problems. In sessions she listens first, then helps people notice patterns and try small changes that make a difference. Kathryn aims to build trust and mutual respect so people feel able to reflect honestly and experiment with new ways of coping.
She maintains professional boundaries and reviews progress regularly. Sessions can be run by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different schedules. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that suits both you and the counsellor.
Kathryn offers a friendly, steady environment for people ready to take the next step.

Online support
Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It often uses practical exercises and short experiments to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, low mood and stress.
Mindfulness-based work teaches simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce rumination and improve how you notice stress in the moment. These techniques can be useful alongside other approaches to manage emotions and sleep problems.
Finding the right mix is a collaborative process. Kathryn discusses needs, goals and preferences with each person and adapts techniques as the work progresses. Together you agree what to try and review what helps most.
Online sessions give practical flexibility. Video calls let you keep face-to-face conversation without travel. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a lunch break. Live chat and text-based messaging offer brief check-ins or written reflection when speaking is difficult. These options make it easier to maintain regular sessions and try different formats to suit changing routines.
