Katherine Orr, BACP

Katherine Orr is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. She supports those dealing with trauma, addiction, grief, parenting strain and questions about intimacy or identity. Katherine describes counselling as a collaborative space where clients can talk without judgement and explore thoughts, feelings and behaviours.

She works in a way that avoids giving direct advice. Katherine combines different approaches to suit each person rather than using a single method for everyone. That means sessions focus on what the client wants to change and how they want to work towards it.

Katherine trained and practises as a BACP counsellor, which is noted in her credentials as BACP. She brings four years of professional experience to sessions and has worked with people affected by childhood abuse, suicidal thoughts and family problems.

Her style blends person-centred listening with cognitive tools and psychodynamic reflection. In practical terms this can mean listening closely to current concerns, trying small changes in thinking or behaviour, and looking at how past patterns affect present life.

Clients can expect a calm, professional approach with an emphasis on collaboration. Katherine aims to help people make the changes they want to see, balancing practical steps with space to reflect and process difficult feelings.

How Katherine’s approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy places the client’s experience at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said and follows the client’s pace to help them feel heard and understood. This approach is useful for people seeking emotional support and clearer self-understanding.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, often called CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying practical changes in behaviour. It can be helpful for anxiety, low mood and developing new ways to cope with stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Katherine aims to discuss options and adapt the mix of person-centred listening, CBT techniques and psychodynamic reflection to match the client’s goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that begins in early sessions and changes as needs evolve.

If you are considering online counselling, check which session formats are available before booking. Confirming formats lets you pick what fits your routine and technology. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits your day. Registered or accredited professionals can use online sessions to offer continuity of care and practical tools without requiring you to be in the same place as the counsellor.
