Kate Warren

currently accepting new clients. 

I work between 9am until 6pm  on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday  

Hi I am Kate a Â鶹ԭ´´ registered integrative counsellor with a person centred foundation. Being integrative means I draw from different models depending on your needs. I offer a warm, non judgemental space where you can explore your experiences and begin to understand how the past may be shaping the present. 

With 23 years of working in education for a local authority, including management roles, I bring empathy, depth and a real world understanding to my work with individuals facing stress, change and emotional challenges. Ive supported clients in schools, employee assist organisations, charities such as Cruse Bereavement and Relate, and my own private practice. 

My approach is holistic and trauma-informed. I integrate somatic work ,inner child healing and energy therapies such as EFT tapping, helping you to reconnect with you body and your emotions. I am also solution focused, offering practical tools for change. 

We can work with whatever feels more relevant to you, your thoughts, emotions, bodiy sensations or life circumstances. 

I bring a warm, grounded presence into the room and where it feels right, a sense of humour and lightness too. Therapy  doesnt have to be serious all the time. Sometimes a shared laugh or a moment of light relief is just as healing as tears. I aim to create a space that feels human, accepting and real.

Together we will work at your pace to build self awareness, resilience and a deeper understanding of self. Finding a way forward that feels right for you.  

I offer face to face, online and telephone counselling

online sessions are via zoom. 

Face to face sessions are from my private practice in Quinton. 

I offer walk and talk therapy. This can take place from my practice where we have access to countryside and forestry or in a convenient green space near you.

I believe that what makes therapy effective is the relationship that is built up between the counsellor and the client. Building a relationship where you feel seen and heard and are able to open up and share your thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment 

I offer a brief complementary online or phone consultation to discuss your concerns. It is an opportunity to see whether we would be able to work together and to answer any questions that you may have.  There is no obligation to return 

If we both decide to work together then we would agree a therapeutic contract.  Subsequent sessions are usually 50 minutes weekly, however we can discuss length and frequency 

I offer a safe, confidential space. I will listen, value your uniqueness and be respectful of your feelings.  I will work alongside you to explore your individual experience at your pace, enabling you to find resolutions to the problems you may be facing. 

I work Monday - Thursday, 10-5pm face to face and 9-6pm online or telephone.

Sessions available both online and face to face.

Walk and talk available locally (in Northampton)

Reduced rate supervision whilst in training

Standard therapy fee £60, Supervision £40p/h (training rate)

I am currently completing a clinical supervision qualification and offering reduced fee supervision whilst in training. My approach is integrative, with a person centred foundation, and rooted in the belief that supervision should be a collaborative, restorative and empowering space.

I welcome;

Counsellors in training

Recently qualified counsellors

Practitioners seeking a reflective and embodied supervisory relationship

Those open to creativity and humour

In supervision I draw on Hawkins and Shohet's Seven Eyes Model and integrate somatice awareness, ethical reflection and relational depth. Holding space for your client work and also your professional development.

If you are someone who works holistically, is curious about mind-body connection or who wants a supervision space that is relational, human and real we might be a good fit. 

As a person centred therapist I offer a non hierarchical, empathic and transparent supervisory relationship. Aiming to create a space where you feel safe enough to be vulnerable, brave enough to be challenged and supported enough to keep going when the work gets tough. 

My style is:

Warm human and grounded

Creative and somatically aware

Humour inclusive, because supervision doesnt need to be heavy all the time

Ethically informed, reflective and encouraging

Curious about who you are as a practitioner.

I welcome therapist from a wide range of backgrounds, particularly those drawn to relational, holistic, body based or spiritually informed work. 

If you are interested in inner child work, parts work, EFT, breathwork, movement and energy awareness or walk and talk therapy and using nature in sessions you will likely find my style familiar and supportive. 

The first supervision session is a space to get to know each other and explore whether we are a good fit. 

Here is what we would typically cover:

A check in about your training or practice journery.

Your hopes for supervision and what felt helpful or unhelpful in the past. 

An overview of how I work and what I can offer as a supervisor 

A conversationa about ethical practice, self care and what support looks like to you

First session Fee: £40 1hr, £60 90 mins, 

Free 20 Zoom intro call - just to say hello and ask initial questions before committing.
