Warm and Friendly Counselling

Main information

Service categories: Counselling and therapies

Hi, I’m Katrin, a warm and qualified counsellor. Thank you for being here.

I work in a neurodiversity-affirming way with young people and adults, offering a welcoming space where you can be yourself and explore what’s on your mind.

Life brings change, challenges, and new beginnings. We may second-guess ourselves, struggle in our relationships, feel overwhelmed, or carry things that others can't always see. Sometimes we question old assumptions and wonder where we fit or who we are becoming.

You may be feeling anxious or overwhelmed, notice difficulties in your life or relationships, navigating loss or change, or exploring questions of identity and meaning.

Some people come to counselling to explore life through a neurodivergent lens, whether that relates to autism, ADHD or AuDHD. I offer space for those conversations too.

Therapy offers a calm, confidential space to talk openly about what’s been happening in your life and explore what feels important to you.

I work practically and reflectively, drawing on an integrative, relational approach. We go at your pace. I listen carefully, offering gentle questions and reflections when they feel helpful.

Support is available online, by phone, or through walk-and-talk sessions in Leazes Park. Sessions are collaborative, with room for talking, thinking, and reflection. Your feedback is always welcome.

Counselling offers time and space to reflect on what matters to you now. It can help you develop greater self-compassion, reconnect with what feels important, and move forward with clarity.

Additional information

I offer a free initial 10-minute phone consultation to see whether working together feels like a good next step. Therapy sessions can be paid by bank transfer before each appointment. I’m available Monday to Friday, 8:30am – 5pm, with some evening availability.

Whatever you’re facing, let’s talk. 

If you’d like to arrange an appointment, please email me at warmandfriendlycounselling@gmail.com.

I look forward to connecting with you!
