Katja Brodt de Sousa, BACP

Katja Brodt de Sousa is a BACP-accredited counsellor and psychotherapist and a Heart IQ coach working in private practice in London, United Kingdom. BACP refers to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and indicates professional accreditation and registration within that national body. She focuses on helping people uncover the internal blocks that keep them repeating unhelpful patterns and supports them in reducing self-sabotaging thoughts and behaviours so they can form stronger connections with others and, most importantly, with themselves.

With 18 years of clinical experience in private practice, she has worked extensively with depression, anxiety, stress and relationship difficulties including infidelity, affairs, and navigating divorce and separation. She helps clients recognise and accept their authentic selves, and works to address shame, fear, and persistent self-doubt that can undermine wellbeing.

Her approach is integrative and tailored to each person - drawing on cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), client-centered methods, and psychodynamic work as appropriate. Katja aims to create a collaborative therapeutic environment in which people can explore attachment patterns, build coping skills, and develop clearer, more compassionate self-understanding.
