Kathleen Foulger, NCPS

Kathleen Foulger offers practical, evidence-based therapy aimed at reducing stress and anxiety. She brings six years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and works with people facing trauma, grief, depression and addiction. Kathleen emphasises strengths and helps people find workable ways forward.

She often supports people who have experienced sexual or domestic abuse and helps them manage the emotional aftermath. She also helps with relationship strain, parenting pressures, anger and self-esteem difficulties. Sessions focus on clear goals and steady progress rather than vague promises.

Kathleen sees the person as the expert in their own life. She listens for what is working and what gets in the way, then suggests techniques that fit the person’s situation. Her style is direct but warm, inviting practical change alongside emotional understanding.

In sessions she breaks big problems into smaller steps. That makes overwhelming issues feel more manageable and helps people try things between sessions. She encourages realistic goals and regular review so progress is visible.

Signing up for therapy is recognised as a significant step. Kathleen aims to make the first contacts straightforward and reassuring, helping people settle into the process and focus on what matters to them.

How evidence-based approaches work online

Many evidence-based techniques focus on changing unhelpful patterns and building coping skills. One common approach is skills-based work that teaches breathing, grounding and behavioural strategies to reduce anxiety and manage stress. These techniques are practical and can be practised between sessions to build confidence.

Another helpful approach is trauma-focused support that helps people process difficult experiences safely and at a pace they set. This work combines talking through memories with strategies to manage overwhelming feelings and improve day-to-day functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that match a person’s needs, goals and preferences. Together they review what helps and adjust the plan as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face discussion and visual cues, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and to schedule sessions around work or family commitments.
