Hello, I'm Katie, a clinical psychologist working in Newport, South Wales and surrounding areas.

You may notice if you meet or speak to me that I'm not Welsh, however I have lived and worked in Wales for around 10 years now and love doing so!

​

I completed my doctorate in clinical psychology in Cardiff, and since then I have worked in adult mental health in the NHS and in the third sector for a homelessness charity. I specialise in supporting people who may have experienced traumatic events or have lived through multiple traumas, individuals struggling with burnout, anxiety or low mood, or those who struggle to manage emotions that can feel intense and overwhelming.

​

I use a range of approaches I have trained in to support you in the best way possible. These include eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR), dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) and compassion focused therapy (CFT) amongst others. I find that often my clients benefit from multiple approaches, so I work in an integrative way, drawing upon a variety of theories and therapy models to ensure therapy feels completely tailored to your needs. 

​

I know starting therapy and finding the right therapist can feel quite daunting, so I always aim to make sessions as comfortable and down-to-earth as possible, focusing on how we build a trusting relationship first and foremost.

​

 If you're wondering if therapy might be helpful for you, feel unsure about where to start or are worried about what it involves, I'd love to hear from you to have a chat and help you make that first step- just contact me using the form below or by dropping me an email.

I really look forward to hearing from you.
