About Kathryn
Kathryn Partt is a counsellor who draws on existential ideas alongside other approaches to help people facing loss, trauma and major life changes. She holds BACP accreditation and brings five years of practice experience in the United Kingdom. Kathryn aims to make sessions straightforward and welcoming for anyone feeling overwhelmed by grief, anxiety or change.
Her work often focuses on bereavement, trauma and stress. She also helps with depression, sleeping difficulties, relationship and intimacy concerns, self-esteem and parenting strains.
Background and approach
People come to her with issues related to chronic illness, caregiving stress, career worries and the emotional impact of separation or domestic violence. Kathryn uses a mix of client-centred listening, attachment-based thinking and practical cognitive techniques. In sessions she prioritises clear conversation, gentle exploration of feelings, and practical steps people can try between meetings.
The aim is to help clients make sense of painful experiences and find ways to cope day to day. She works with people dealing with abandonment fears, codependency, dissociation and body-image concerns. She also supports those facing complex medical challenges, cancer-related distress, and compassion fatigue.
Conversations address real-world problems, not abstract theory, and focus on what matters most to the person in front of her. Sessions are offered in English and are delivered remotely by video, phone, live chat or messaging. Kathryn uses a subscription-based session model that can be cancelled at any time.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability.

Online support
How her approaches fit with online therapy
Existential therapy looks at meaning, choice and how people face life transitions. It can help when loss, grief or big life questions feel overwhelming by encouraging honest reflection and practical ways to move forward.Attachment-based therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional safety. It is useful for people dealing with intimacy issues, abandonment fears, communication problems and the impact of past hurts on present relationships.
Client-centred work puts the person’s experience at the centre and relies on careful listening and acceptance. This approach helps people who need space to talk things through, to feel heard, and to find their own answers over time.
Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. Kathryn will discuss which methods suit a person’s goals and adapt the work as progress is made. That way the plan evolves with changing needs rather than being fixed from the start.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people use non-verbal cues and longer conversations, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a break, while live chat or text messaging support shorter check-ins and written reflection. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family and health commitments.
