About Kathryn
Kathryn Sherfield is a counsellor registered with the NCPS (The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society) and has five years' experience. She offers short and long term therapy and lists a wide range of concerns she works with, including stress, anxiety, trauma and self-esteem. Sessions are described as adaptable to the person's needs and are arranged as 45-minute appointments.
Kathryn primarily uses a person-centred approach. She says this means helping people develop their own awareness and strategies rather than solving problems for them. She also draws on cognitive and solution-focused ideas, mindfulness techniques and narrative ways of working when these suit the individual.
In practice she aims to build rapport and trust, and to keep her sessions professional and respectful. Kathryn emphasises regular, reliable contact and sets clear boundaries about scheduling and session length. She notes that she will review therapeutic progress and the working relationship on a regular basis.
The Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling from CPCAB is recorded among her qualifications and she is listed as a registered and accredited member of NCPS. Kathryn states sessions are 45 minutes long and that she will give notice and an alternative appointment if she needs to cancel.
Her profile lists a broad set of concerns beyond the core areas above, including relationship and family difficulties, grief, eating and sleeping issues, parenting, career and ADHD related concerns. People should check the detailed list in her profile when considering whether her experience matches their needs.
Approaches Kathryn Uses and how online work can fit your life
Client-centred Therapy places the person at the centre of sessions. The counsellor listens, reflects and supports the person to find their own answers and build confidence. This approach suits people who want a steady, supportive space to make sense of change.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical techniques to test and change unhelpful thinking and behaviours, which can help with anxiety, low mood and problems with sleep or routine.
Mindfulness Therapy encourages simple attention practices and grounding skills. These techniques can help with managing stress, reducing rumination and improving focus in everyday life.
Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. Kathryn says she will work with the person to agree which methods suit their needs and goals. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is reviewed.
If you want to arrange sessions, check which formats Kathryn currently offers before booking. The profile confirms standard 45-minute sessions, but does not specify whether these are by video, phone or in person. Ask about available formats so sessions can fit around study, shifts, or work breaks without needing a large time commitment.
