aboutKATE
I'm Kate, a psychotherapist in training at The Philadelphia Association (and previously The Tavistock), registered with UKCP. My approach is guided by philosophy and psychoanalysis, helping people make sense of their past in order to move forward with greater clarity and freedom.
Before beginning my journey as a therapist in 2019, I worked in safeguarding, supporting vulnerable children and families. That experience shaped my understanding of human relationships and the ways we carry our early experiences into adulthood. My work now focuses on creating a reflective space where together we can explore your inner world with care and curiosity.
Therapy with me is not about quick fixes. It’s a conversation— a space where we think together, uncover patterns, and explore new ways of being.
As Søren Kierkegaard said,
“Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forwards.”
Through therapy, we make sense of what has been, so you can step more freely into what’s to come.
If you’re feeling lost, overwhelmed, or simply seeking a space to think, I’m here to help.
