Katie Norsworthy, NCPS

Katie Norsworthy is a psychotherapeutic counsellor and a trainee counselling psychologist. She has worked in mental health care for over three years across the NHS, charities and independent settings. Katie creates a warm, non-judgemental space for people to talk through difficult moments and begin to feel steadier.

Her practice is integrative, which means she draws on different techniques to match each person’s needs. In sessions she helps people untangle what’s happening, recognise patterns, and build new ways of coping. That often looks like pacing conversations to a manageable level and using practical strategies between meetings.

Katie has particular experience supporting people who have experienced trauma. She regularly works with issues such as chronic anxiety, panic attacks, feelings of guilt and shame, and post-traumatic stress. She also supports people dealing with low self-esteem, body image, attachment concerns and challenges linked to narcissistic behaviour from others.

She has developed adaptations for autistic adults and uses a range of techniques to make sessions more accessible. Those adjustments can include clearer structure, sensory-aware pacing and tailored communication styles.

Katie works with adults in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English. She aims to help people find clearer ways to manage emotions, strengthen self-regard, and move forward at a pace that suits them.

How evidence-based techniques can translate to online therapy

Katie describes her approach as integrative and draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to suit each person. One common approach she uses focuses on helping people understand and regulate strong emotions through step-by-step exercises and grounding strategies; this helps with panic, intense anxiety and emotional overwhelm. Another strand emphasises trauma-informed work that gently addresses past hurt while building present-day coping skills and safety in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Katie will discuss options with the person and try methods that match their needs, goals and preferences. This is collaborative and reviewed as therapy progresses so the approach can be adjusted when something isn’t helping.

The practical benefits of online therapy can make it easier to attend sessions and use what is learned in daily life. Depending on the session formats offered, it can reduce travel time, fit around work and family commitments, and allow for shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking to see which will fit into your routine.
