Kathryn Soltysiak

I work in the afternoons, Monday - Thurs and currently have some availability. 

Life can sometimes be difficult, and overwhelming. Maybe you have a specific life issue going on. Or just the feeling you want something to be different but you’re not sure what, or how to get there.

My name is Kathryn and I am a Person Centred Counsellor. My approach is compassionate, empathic, non-judgemental, and allows you the freedom to explore your unique experiences. The space this offers can lead to greater self understanding, acceptance and clarity about your own journey forward.

Our sessions will be led by you, you get to decide what to talk about and when. This process can be hard, but I will be with you every step of the way. Occasionally you may feel stuck, or want support to dig a little deeper or concentrate on a particular challenge. I will be guided by you, and where appropriate can suggest a technique or exercise we can try that you may find useful, based on my broader counselling training.

Alongside my private practice I have worked in a range of settings including a low cost counselling agency, the NHS and schools. I have supported people facing a range of challenges including depression and anxiety, bereavement, change and loss, and a variety of relationship difficulties. I have also had training and experience of working with Neurodiverse clients.

I work online using the zoom platform and session last 50 minutes. 

It is really important that you find a counsellor you feel you can work with; opening up to someone can be daunting. For that reason I offer a free, no-obligation 20 minute zoom call so you can  find out a bit more about me, and tell me a bit more about what you are looking for. 

Our first full session together is a little more structured than normal in order to allow us to discuss and agree how we are going to work together.
