- Fully insured to offer online appointments globally.

I am a fully qualified and accredited Systemic Family and Couple Psychotherapist (MA) with over 25 years鈥� clinical experience working therapeutically with individuals, couples and families, of all ages, both within the NHS, & via my own private practice, with the independent relational psychotherapy service, Oxford Family Therapy.

As a specialist relationship therapist, I support those facing challenges in couple or family relationships such as regarding communication, sex & intimacy, infidelity and trust, parenting & life transitions, or relational trauma, separation or bereavement. I also support those wishing to develop a deeper sense of loving connection, intimacy & closeness with the important people in their lives.

Keen to embrace gender, sexuality & relationship diversity, I work with couples & families of all kinds. My practice is strengths & resilience orientated, collaborative, & underpinned by the latest evidence based principles.

Fully insured to offer a world wide service remotely.

Alongside my independent practice, as UKCP Media Spokesperson, I'm frequently invited to contribute to the national & international media, including the Guardian, Telegraph, Independent & Metro etc, providing expert opinion on a range of topical relational psychotherapy matters. I am also Trustee of the domestic abuse charity Clean Slate & guardian of Support Through Court.

Committed to providing the highest standard of care, I am a fully accredited membership of the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP), the Association of Family and Systemic Psychotherapy (AFT), the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (麻豆原创).

I understand how hard it can be to find the right type of therapy, and therapist for you. I therefore include responses to FAQs, further information about systemic psychotherapy & client reviews, all of which are accessible here: https://www.psychotherapy.org.uk/therapist/Katherine-Cavallo-RqDJSAA3. 

Qualifications:

- MA Systemic Family Psychotherapy, Tavistock and Portman Clinic, London

- Treating Couples: Surmounting Challenges, Harvard Medical School

- Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) Levels 1 & 2: British Emotion Focused Therapy Centre

- PGD Systemic Family Practice, Reading University

- PGC Applied Systemic Theory, Tavistock and Portman Clinic, London

- PGC Teaching and Assessment, Oxford Brookes University

Background:

Within the NHS, my experience spans a variety of mental health contexts. Alongside a clinical role, I have been involved in service development and leadership, as well as providing training, clinical supervision and consultation to allied professionals and agencies, and developed graduate and postgraduate training as a guest Specialist Clinical Lecturer.

As an independent psychotherapist, I initially worked with the Oxford Priory Wellbeing Centre before founding the independent systemic psychotherapy service, Oxford Family Therapy. In 2020 Oxford Family Therapy extended its services to include a range of online options enabling clients to connect with each other and access therapy remotely, across the UK and globally.

As an active member of the Association of Family Therapy Couple Therapy Forum, and with additional specialist training, I am also an accredited member of the International Centre for Excellence in Emotion Focused Therapy (ICEEFT). Currently undertaking advanced postgraduate training in psychosexual psychotherapy.

I remain committed to promoting positive relationships as a means of improving emotional wellbeing for all, as well as actively improving access to specialist evidence based therapy & promoting social justice for those most vulnerable and most in need. Alongside my clinical practice I am involved in a number of not for profit initiates in support of this commitment including via my work as Trustee of the domestic abuse charity Clean Slate, with the charity Support Through Court, and as UKCP Media Spokesperson.

How it works:

Feel free to connect with me via oxfordfamilytherapy@gmail.com, providing a few details about what brings you to therapy and what type of therapy you are seeking. Providing a sense of your availability is most helpful, so we can ensure to find suitable appointments that will work for all involved. We will then get back to you regarding recommendations about starting therapy and a timeframe for this.

Please note, my PA helps me manage enquiries, has access to emails send to oxfordfamilytherapy@gmail.com, and is bound by the same confidentiality policy as myself.

At initial appointment/s you will have a further opportunity to ask any questions and think through the options available, before considering a collaborative therapy plan together.

Some people choose to have a set number of sessions then review, whereas others choose to continue until collaboratively coming to an end point.

I support people to use the space in between appointments as opportunities to reflect on and integrate the therapy 鈥渨ork鈥� into their everyday lives and relationships, in order to gain optimally from the overall process. From my experience, meeting fortnightly/biweekly, enables this most effectively.

The number of sessions people feel they need varies considerably depending on what people are hoping to gain. In some instances, a handful of sessions can make all the difference, whereas others choose to meet with me longer-term.
