About Kathryn Dowds

Kathryn Dowds is credentialed in the United Kingdom and brings four years of professional experience to her therapeutic practice. She has worked with people who are coping with grief and loss, offering steady support as they navigate bereavement and the shifting emotions that follow.

She works from the perspective that each person is the expert of their own story and that many internal strengths already exist to help face difficult situations. Kathryn aims to help clients identify and build on those strengths so they can move through challenges with greater resilience.

Recognizing that beginning therapy often takes courage, she acknowledges and affirms that first step and offers an encouraging, nonjudgmental presence as clients get started on their journey.

Many people wonder whether online therapy can truly help. For many common concerns - such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes - evidence indicates that online therapy can produce outcomes comparable to traditional in-person sessions.



One major benefit is flexibility. Individuals can connect with a therapist in the format that works best for them - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - which can make it easier to fit support into a busy life.



Therapists offering remote services are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to change therapists if they feel a different fit would be better. Online therapy can be a practical way to access trained support from wherever you are located within the therapist's service area.
