About Katherine
Katherine Orr is a BACP counsellor with four years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with a broad range of concerns that commonly affect young adults, including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, grief, addictions, and identity or LGBT-related worries. Katherine focuses on helping people talk through what feels stuck and figure out practical next steps.
Her sessions are collaborative and non-directive in tone. She does not give advice but helps people reflect on thoughts, feelings and behaviours. The counsellor combines person-centred work with cognitive behavioural and psychodynamic ideas so conversations can shift between here-and-now coping and exploring deeper patterns.
Katherine has experience with trauma and abuse, suicidal thoughts, eating and intimacy issues, ADHD and neurodiversity concerns such as autism and Asperger Syndrome. She also supports people facing career uncertainty, parenting strain, caregiver stress and life transitions like leaving home or finishing education.
In practice she aims to be straightforward and practical. Sessions often involve talking through recent events, noticing patterns in thinking, and trying small changes between meetings. Over time work can move into exploring how earlier relationships shape current reactions.
She sees clients in English and accepts international clients. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting. The counsellor offers active listening and helps people name feelings and priorities, which can be useful for relationship strain, low self-esteem and general stress.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviours. It uses practical strategies to test unhelpful thinking and build coping skills for anxiety, depression and addictive patterns.
Psychodynamic work explores how early relationships affect current reactions. This can help when recurring patterns in intimacy, attachment or family conflict are a concern.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katherine will discuss goals and preferences and together decide whether to focus on coping skills, exploring underlying patterns, or a mix of both. That choice can change as therapy progresses and is agreed collaboratively.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm which formats are available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around study and early careers, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and pacing for remote sessions to suit a young adult's schedule.
