Mental Health services within Central North West London NHS Trust. Prior to this

Kate gained experience working with children and adolescents in school and

therapeutic day-centre settings. Kate has extensive experience working with people

facing a range of mental health challenges from anxiety and depression to psychotic

disorders and acute mental health crises. Since graduating from the MA in Art

Psychotherapy in 2018, Kate has trained in Mentalisation-Based Therapy and

Trauma-Informed frameworks, integrating these within a sensitive approach which

considers a person’s difficulties as meaningful and understandable responses to

what has happened in their lives and significant relationships. Kate’s approach is

underpinned by psychodynamic and attachment theory and supports the creative

exploration of thoughts, feelings and experiences that may be difficult to access

through words alone.

Kate’s honours the uniqueness and individual life situations of each person she

works with and offers a secure and non-judgemental space in which they can

address what feels most significant for them. Kate uses evidence-based

interventions to address a range of difficulties and diagnoses and is committed to

developing her practice in line with current research through training and regular

clinical supervision.
