After speaking to Kate over the phone to enquire about CBT, I knew she was the right therapist for me; she was clear, professional, and gave a clear outline of what and how CBT may help me understand why I felt permanently overwhelmed, stuck and depressed, despite trying to change. Over the course of the therapy Kate was consistently clear and professionally supportive; over time she helped me understand what thoughts were contributing to my negative feelings and behaviours. She gave me an awareness of how damaging my thought processes were and how that effected my behaviour, along with practical exercises to focus on changing these patterns. After leaving therapy there is still work to be done; CBT takes practice but Kate gave me the insights and tools to go it alone, and the confidence to do it. I would highly recommend Kate to anyone looking for an excellent, evidence-based CBT practitioner.
