About me
Hello, I'm Kathy.
I'm the person behind Glebe Meadow Counselling & Hypnotherapy.
My journey into counselling wasn't a straight line.
I spent 24 years working as cabin crew before moving into education, where I worked as a SEND Teaching Assistant and Emotional Literacy Support Assistant.
Those experiences gave me the opportunity to meet people from many different backgrounds and taught me a great deal about communication, compassion and the importance of really listening.
Eventually, those experiences led me to counselling.
I think that's why my approach is very human.
I'm not interested in putting people into boxes or seeing them simply as a diagnosis or a collection of symptoms.
You're a person first.
My approach:
I'm a Pluralistic Counsellor, which means I don't believe one therapeutic approach works for everyone.
We work together to find what feels useful for you.
Depending on your needs, this might include person-centred counselling, CBT-informed techniques, hypnotherapy or other appropriate therapeutic approaches.
You are the expert in your own life and in the decisions about your therapy.
