About Katherine
Katherine Orr is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years of practice. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions and other life challenges. Katherine also lists a focus on blended family issues and related parenting and communication strains.
Katherine uses a mix of client-centred, cognitive behavioural and psychodynamic ideas. Sessions are conversational and focused on what feels most useful to the person in the room. She says counselling is collaborative and that she will not simply hand out advice.
In early sessions Katherine listens to day-to-day patterns and the toughest moments. She helps people spot links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and tests small changes that can shift routines. She also pays attention to past relationships and how they shape current patterns.
Practical topics Katherine works on include managing anxiety, reducing unhelpful coping such as substance use, improving communication, and handling grief or loss. She supports people coping with loyalty conflicts and the practical demands of blended households.
Her way of working aims to be straightforward and steady. Katherine encourages clear goals and regular review so sessions keep to the client’s priorities. People using her service follow a subscription model where sessions are arranged after a short matching questionnaire.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps people clarify their own goals and feel understood before making changes.CBT, or cognitive behavioural therapy, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and habits people want to change by trying different behaviours and thinking patterns.
Psychodynamic therapy pays attention to past relationships and recurring patterns that affect current life. It can help when someone keeps repeating the same relationship problems or struggles with long-standing feelings.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. Katherine will work with the client to decide which ideas feel most helpful, and she reviews progress so the plan can change if needed.
Practical benefits of online work make it easier to fit sessions into daily life. Please confirm the exact session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online appointments can help with quieter surroundings, shorter check-ins during a busy day, and avoiding travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets and conversational work to an online setting so therapeutic time focuses on the client’s goals and immediate concerns.
