Kathryn Sherfield , NCPS

Kathryn Sherfield is a fully qualified counsellor based in the United Kingdom who offers both short-term and longer-term therapy tailored to a wide range of needs. She adapts sessions to suit each person, bringing a calm, kind, and nonjudgmental manner to her work so clients feel heard and respected. She has experience with many presenting issues and draws on a variety of counselling models to build rapport and support individual progress.

She holds a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling from CPCAB - a recognised professional training qualification - and is a registered and accredited member of the NCPS (National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society). Her main approach is person-centred, which focuses on providing a supportive space for clients to explore their thoughts and feelings and develop their own strategies. Rather than solving problems for people, she walks alongside them as they increase self-awareness and find practical ways to cope.

Kathryn works with empathy and warmth, aiming to raise self-worth and confidence and to leave clients with tools they can use going forward. She is committed to professional practice, offering regular, reliable support, punctual 45-minute sessions, a quiet and undisturbed environment, clear professional boundaries, and regular review of therapeutic work. When working with couples she listens to both partners, helps mediate where needed, and focuses on reinforcing positives or facilitating respectful change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating an accepting and empathetic relationship where the person is supported to explore their feelings and develop their own solutions; it is often helpful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship concerns, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours and uses practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns - it can be effective for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Mindfulness Therapy teaches ways to bring nonjudgmental attention to the present moment, which can reduce rumination and support emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Kathryn will work collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. The aim is to tailor sessions so clients feel involved in deciding what will help most.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people juggling work, family, or mobility limitations. These options make it easier to maintain regular appointments, access a licensed professional from home, and continue steady progress even when life is busy or circumstances change.
