About Kathryn

Kathryn Partt is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She focuses on bereavement, trauma and PTSD, and supports people dealing with stress, anxiety and life changes. Kathryn uses several approaches to help clients get a clearer sense of what they need next.

She works in an integrative way and draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at feelings and attachment patterns. Kathryn also uses Client-Centred techniques to follow what the person brings, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to address thoughts and behaviours that cause distress. These methods are used together to match what each person needs in the moment.

In sessions she helps people name emotions that feel hard to describe. She listens to how grief, loss or past abuse show up in daily life and looks for small, practical changes that ease pressure. Conversations may include looking at relationship patterns, sleep problems, work stress or parenting strains.

Kathryn has a particular interest in attachment issues and intimacy-related difficulties. She also supports clients with career stress, self-esteem concerns, ADHD, chronic illness and caregiving strain. Her work covers a wide range of emotional and practical problems that often overlap.

To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and can then schedule a first session. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and costs vary with location.

How Kathryn uses EFT, attachment work and CBT online

Kathryn combines Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy and elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to address emotional and relational issues. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and work with strong feelings and the patterns those feelings create in relationships. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current attachment needs affect trust and closeness. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on thoughts and behaviours that keep stress and anxiety going, offering practical steps to change them.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kathryn will discuss what feels most useful and adapt methods together based on the client's needs and goals. This collaborative process means the focus can shift as progress is made or new concerns arise.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can offer similar therapeutic work online, and Kathryn will work with clients to find a way of meeting that fits their everyday life.
