Katherine Orr, BACP

Katherine Orr offers support for stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain and trauma-related concerns. She also helps people facing grief, addiction, self-esteem and career worries. Katherine is experienced with LGBT issues, intimacy and eating concerns, and assists those dealing with ADHD and compassion fatigue.

Katherine works in a collaborative way and does not give direct advice. She aims to create a non-judgemental space where people can talk about thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual and on practical steps that feel manageable.

She is a BACP counsellor. BACP stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Katherine combines several ways of working so therapy can be shaped to each person's needs.

Her practice draws on client-centred methods that prioritise the person's perspective. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is used to look at patterns of thinking and behaviour. Psychodynamic ideas help explore how past experiences influence current feelings and relationships.

With four years' experience, Katherine has worked with people who have faced childhood abuse, addictions and suicidal thoughts as well as everyday life pressures. Her style is professional but warm, aiming to balance practical tools with time to reflect. She encourages people to set goals and notice small changes between sessions.

How Katherine's approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's experience and priorities. The counsellor aims to listen closely and reflect what is felt, helping people gain clarity about their needs and choices. This approach supports issues like low self-esteem, relationship concerns and life changes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It offers practical techniques to try between sessions, which can help with anxiety, depression and addictive behaviours. Psychodynamic work examines how earlier experiences shape current patterns in relationships and self-view; this can be useful for people wanting to understand recurring difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Katherine will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and she will adjust methods as therapy progresses. The decision about which way of working to use is collaborative and reviewed over time.

The biography does not specify which online formats are offered. Please confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also means people can join from different locations, which may help those arranging care around work or family commitments.
