Katrina Rodgers, BACP

Katrina Rodgers is a BACP counsellor with 17 years of experience. She offers calm, practical help for people feeling overwhelmed by life. Her manner is warm and down-to-earth, and she aims to make sessions straightforward and useful.

Katrina uses a gentle but honest style. She listens and reflects what she hears. When helpful, she will challenge thinking patterns and offer fresh ways to cope. Sessions are tailored to each person's needs rather than following a fixed script.

Her work covers common and difficult concerns. These include stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and challenges with sleep and eating. She also helps people struggling with parenting stress, anger, ADHD, and life transitions.

She draws on several therapeutic approaches to match the issue at hand. Cognitive-based tools help change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Attachment-focused ideas look at how past relationships shape current patterns. Client-centred interactions focus on the person in front of her and their values and goals.

Katrina supports people coping with long-term illness, caregiver strain, body image worries, and communication problems. She also works with concerns such as abandonment, commitment issues, autism-related challenges, and blended family stresses. Her aim is to help people build on strengths and practical skills to feel steadier.

Sessions can be scheduled in ways that suit modern life. Katrina offers listening, practical strategies, and space to think through what matters most. She encourages small steps that fit each person's everyday world.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that align with their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and motivation problems. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, focuses on spotting and changing patterns of thinking and behaviour that contribute to distress and practical symptoms like sleep problems or panic. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship experiences shape current reactions and communication, which can help with intimacy issues, grief and relationship patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Katrina will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and together they will decide which methods to try. She adapts the mix of approaches over time as needs change, so therapy stays relevant and goal-focused.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make counselling fit modern life. Video calls let people use visual connection for deeper discussion. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging suit those who prefer writing, need flexible timing, or want to reflect before responding. These options make it easier to schedule regular sessions and to maintain progress between meetings.
