Hello, I'm Katinka!

I am glad you have found your way here, and I hope you find the support you need.

I am a trained and registered Art Psychotherapist and CBT Therapist, accredited with the HCPC (Health and Care Professions Council) and BABCP (British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapists).

I love being able to provide a calming and supportive space for people to slow down, reflect, be heard, learn, and feel renourished.

I am passionate about the work I do and give my full dedication and care to each person that I see. I work in a holistic and person-centred way, meaning I strive to understand your unique experience and all the different facets that make you who you are. I believe that it is important to work with both mind and body to heal and look after our health.
