Kate Steel

Welcome to my page I am able to work with you (face to face and on line) on any aspect of your life that you are struggling with. You may be experiencing abuse, narcissistic personality disorder (NPL), negative on line dating experiences, relationship difficulties, trauma, crime, bereavement. It could be you are feeling stuck or confused about a situation or person. There may be something that doesn't feel right and you are not sure why. You may be living with conflict.  You may be walking on egg -shells or intimidated by your partner, child or other family member. It could be that you are feeling anxious and feel you struggle to be your true self. It could be that you are thinking of entering a new relationship but unsure what you are needing and what is getting in the way of listening to those red flags. Maybe you are wanting to find out more about yourself and why you react in the way you do in certain situations. Ultimately your reasons for coming to counselling, your experiences and your feelings are unique to you. It takes courage to access counselling and I'm not here to judge or advise you but by talking we will be able to make sense of what is going on and find a way forward together. As your counsellor, I will give you a safe and confidential space. I will listen with warmth and empathy. I will be by your side as you explore what you feel comfortable with and help you unlock uncomfortable feelings in your own time. My clients tell me they feel lighter and have clarity at the end of our sessions. Our first session will include taking a dive into your personal history, discussing any expectations of our sessions and me asking questions about what you would like to get from counselling.  The rest of out session will be for you to tell me what you like. I offer short and long term work and we will review our work regularly to ensure we are working to your goal. It will take a few sessions to get used to counselling and trust each other. Once trust is established, I may offer creative work which helps shift feelings and makes sense of what is going on for you. I am available to answer any questions you have before we book a session if that helps. I look forward to hearing from you With warmth, Kate
