About Katherine
Katherine Orr is a counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has four years' experience and lists stress, anxiety, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions and other concerns among her areas of work.
She works in a collaborative, non-advising way. Sessions focus on talking through thoughts, feelings and behaviours to help people manage difficulties. She says counselling is a joint process and that she will not give direct advice; instead she helps clients find their own steps forward.
Katherine uses a blend of client-centred, psychodynamic and cognitive behavioural approaches. That mix means conversations can look at current patterns, past experiences and practical steps to change. The style is professional and straightforward, with attention to how problems show up day to day.
She has experience with a broad range of issues including suicidal thoughts, relationship difficulties, addictions and childhood abuse. Other areas listed include grief, parenting, ADHD, body image and career concerns. These are areas she commonly works with rather than formal diagnoses.
Sessions are offered in English and she is based in the United Kingdom. International clients are accepted. Practical arrangements such as session format and fees are handled through the site's booking process and subscription model.

Therapeutic approaches and online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own perspective and aims to make discussion straightforward and non-directive. It helps when someone wants time to clarify feelings and make their own choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical steps to change patterns that cause distress. This can help with anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits.Working out which approach suits best is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful, then agree a way of working together. That makes the work collaborative rather than imposed.
The original profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare or travel. It can also allow shorter check-ins, sessions without video if that is preferred, or meetings that avoid travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can use online work to maintain continuity of care when meeting in person is difficult.
