About Kathryn
Kathryn Partt uses an integrative approach that blends different ways of working to match what each person needs. She focuses on bereavement and trauma, and helps with stress, anxiety, grief, depression and major life changes. Her manner is calm and direct, and she aims to help people feel able to talk about difficult feelings without being judged.
Kathryn is based in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration, with five years of professional experience.
Background and approach
She often begins by listening closely to what someone wants to achieve. Then she and the client agree simple, realistic steps to try between sessions. That can include looking at thought patterns, understanding attachment and emotional responses, or finding ways to tolerate painful memories.
Kathryn adapts the mix of approaches to suit the person in front of her rather than following one fixed method. People who have lost someone or who are coping with traumatic events are a key focus. Kathryn also supports those dealing with relationship strain, parenting stress, sleep problems, chronic illness and identity or intimacy concerns.
She works with issues such as codependency, abandonment feelings, body image and workplace compassion fatigue when these affect daily life. Sessions are practical and paced to the individual. Kathryn uses clear language and helps clients try new strategies between meetings.
She encourages small, manageable changes that can build into real improvements. To begin, Kathryn asks people to share what matters most to them. From there she tailors a plan and reviews progress step by step.
The goal is greater emotional steadiness and better ways to cope with life’s hard moments.

How Kathryn works online
Client-centred therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the work. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is said and helps the client make their own choices about change. This approach supports people who need space to explore thoughts and feelings at their own pace.
Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at connections between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers practical strategies to test unhelpful thoughts and to try small behavioural changes that reduce anxiety and improve mood.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kathryn will work with each person to decide which methods fit best for their situation, goals and preferences. That discussion is part of early sessions and can be revised as work progresses.
If you are interested in online work, please check the session formats offered before booking so you know what is available. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time from people’s schedules. Many find that working remotely helps them maintain continuity when life becomes hectic, while still being able to try practical exercises and follow-up tasks between sessions.
