Kate Thomson
Person-centred/humanistic counsellorAbout Me
Hello, how can I Help?
I am a personal centred counsellor who uses creative techniques
to explore the issues you bring into the counselling room.
I have worked with a variety of clients dealing with anxiety, bereavement,
bullying, emotional conflicts, life and work-related stress and more
For me Counselling is a space that gives you the opportunity
to explore your issues past and present that are having an effect on your life.
I will work with you, listen to you and help you make changes or improve your wellbeing. Wellbeing is about being comfortable, healthy and happy.
I will walk with you on your journey - listening, supporting and understanding
