About Katja
Katja Brodt de Sousa is a counsellor with 18 years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She speaks English and German and works with people who are worried about stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship difficulties and major life changes. She helps clients untangle unhelpful thoughts and behaviours so they can feel more connected to others and to themselves.
She offers practical, down-to-earth support for issues such as infidelity, separation and divorce, grief, trauma and addiction.
Background and approach
Katja also addresses concerns around intimacy, sleeping problems, anger and career stress. Her additional focus includes attachment and abandonment issues, body image, codependency and caregiver strain. Her approach draws on several well-known therapeutic styles so sessions are tailored to the person in front of her.
That can mean working with thoughts and behaviours, exploring how early relationships shape current patterns, or using mindfulness to steady attention. Conversations are client-centred and paced to each individual's needs. Katja has worked in independent practice for many years helping people recognise and move past shame, fear and self-doubt.
She encourages practical steps alongside deeper reflection so change is meaningful and lasting. Clients can expect a straightforward, empathetic presence in sessions. She offers appointments online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging, and accepts international clients.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is part of the process and the therapist will collaborate with each person. Together they will consider needs, goals and what feels comfortable, then adapt methods as therapy progresses. That collaborative planning means approaches can change as concerns evolve.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls let people meet face to face when needed. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break at work. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing support or when writing helps process feelings. Many clients find online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while still working meaningfully on their concerns.
