About Katherine Smalldon

Katherine Smalldon is a BACP registered integrative counsellor and psychotherapist with nine years of clinical experience. She established her practice to offer practical support and compassionate guidance to people navigating difficult periods, whether they are facing a specific crisis, questioning the next step in their life, or working through patterns in relationships and behaviour. BACP stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom.

Katherine works with clients who may find it hard to explain what feels wrong or who feel misunderstood by others. She helps people explore decisions, process the past, and build coping strategies for present challenges. Her approach is integrative, drawing on methods that suit each individual rather than following a single template, and she encourages clients to move at a pace that feels comfortable to them.

At the first session Katherine typically asks about hopes, fears, and expectations so she can tailor support to each person’s needs. She invites clients to take an active role in shaping their work together, offering ongoing opportunities for questions and feedback as therapy progresses. Prospective clients are welcome to get in touch to learn more or to arrange an initial session to see if they are a good fit to work together.

Could Remote Therapy Be a Good Fit?

Many people ask whether remote therapy can produce meaningful change. For many common concerns - such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and navigating life changes - online therapy has been shown to be comparable to traditional in-person sessions.

One major benefit is flexibility. People can connect with a therapist in the way that suits them best - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which can make it easier to fit support into a busy life or to access help from a distance.

Therapists offering online work are licensed professionals, and if someone decides they need a different fit they can switch therapists at any time. For many individuals, online therapy offers a practical and effective route to consistent support and personal progress.
