About Kathryn
Kathryn Sherfield is a counsellor registered with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) and has five years' experience. She offers short and long term therapy in the United Kingdom and works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes. Kathryn also lists blended family issues among her focus areas and supports people facing relationship and family-related strains.
She uses a person-centred approach as her main way of working. That means sessions aim to help people find their own solutions while the counsellor listens without judging. Kathryn also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques, mindfulness, narrative and solution-focused methods when these fit a person's needs.
Sessions are organised to reflect what the client prefers and to build a steady rapport. She describes using practical steps to confirm what people already know about themselves and to try small changes that can alter thought patterns. Conversations tend to focus on concrete coping strategies, communication skills and clearer ways to manage daily stresses.
Kathryn holds a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling from CPCAB and is listed with NCPS. She says sessions run for 45 minutes and that she aims to start and finish on time. The profile notes she offers regular review of therapeutic work and the working relationship.
Her writing emphasises respect, mutual trust and professional boundaries. People considering therapy are asked to use the site's matching questionnaire to schedule a first session and to confirm current session options before booking.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centred counselling focuses on listening and reflecting what the person says to help them decide on next steps. Online sessions using this approach still centre the client's priorities and aim to build trust through steady, respectful dialogue.Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Delivered remotely, CBT often involves short tasks or worksheets between sessions to practise new ways of thinking and behaving.
Mindfulness-based techniques help people notice their experience without judgment and develop calmer responses to stress. These can be taught in-session and practised between appointments to support sleep, anxiety and concentration.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and how methods fit a person’s situation, then adapt approaches collaboratively. This process helps decide which techniques to focus on as therapy progresses.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm what is offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can use remote appointments to maintain regular contact and apply practical tools between meetings.
