Welcome to Compassionate Space.
Trauma Focused Therapy in Plymouth and Online.
“Compassion is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded. It's a relationship between equals.”
— Pema Chödrön
Hello, I’m Kate
An experienced therapist, supervisor and above all human being, also navigating my way through life. Alongside my qualifications and experience of working alongside people living with the impact of trauma, overwhelm and difficult emotions, I also bring my own life experience. Including the parts of me who have known the legacy of trauma and the way it can continue to impact way after the events have ended.
I believe the therapeutic relationship is a place where the changes you want to see and feel can happen, not for me to hold the answers but for you to feel safe and connected enough to uncover your own wisdom, with me alongside you. You might know what is causing you problems and be clear on what you’re looking for from therapy, or you might just feel something isn’t right for you. Perhaps there are patterns of feeling, thinking or acting that you are aware aren’t working for you but you’re not quite sure what to do next. Whatever is happening for you, you’re welcome here.
How I work
My approach of using Compassion Focused Therapy, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and EMDR (either in combination or individually) means we can keep a focus on the experience in the here and now, to transform what is feeling stuck or overwhelming to you now.
Although the therapeutic approach is important, it shapes and guides our way through the process, what matters most is that you feel and know you are seen, heard and understood. The way in which I work means I adapt the approach to meet you where you are, not the other way around.
What to expect
We can meet in my quiet consulting room in Plymouth, or via secure online sessions. If you have any questions or want to check out how i can support any accessibility needs then please do get in touch.
I offer a free 15-minute telephone or online consultation, so you can check out if you’d like to book a first appointment.
