About Katherine
Katherine Orr is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family problems, and parenting strains. She also supports people facing trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, and concerns around intimacy and self-esteem.
Katherine uses a mixture of Client-Centred, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and psychodynamic approaches. Sessions are collaborative and focus on understanding thoughts, feelings and behaviour. She does not give direct advice but helps people talk through what is happening and consider different ways forward.
Common themes she helps with include attachment concerns, communication problems, blended family issues, caregiver stress and body image. She also works with people dealing with ADHD, autism and issues linked to drug or alcohol use. Conversations often cover guilt, shame, isolation and finding clearer priorities in life.
Her style aims to be straightforward and practical. Early sessions tend to clarify immediate concerns and set small goals. Later work can look at patterns that have developed over time and how they affect current relationships and choices.
Katherine practices in English and is open to working with people from outside the UK. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To start, users complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session via the online options button.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred work focuses on the person's perspective and on listening closely. Online sessions using this approach give time to describe what matters most and to decide priorities together.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. In online sessions CBT can include short practical tasks and agreed experiments to try between meetings to test different ways of responding.
Psychodynamic work pays attention to patterns that repeat across relationships and over time. Online conversations can uncover those patterns and how they affect current family and parenting roles.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Katherine will discuss options with each person and agree collaboratively which methods to try based on needs, goals and preferences. That choice can change as sessions progress.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions fit daily life more easily, for example by avoiding travel, making it simpler to attend during a work break, or allowing a quieter, less demanding check-in when energy is low. Registered or accredited professionals commonly adapt pacing, homework and session length online to match those practical needs.
