Therapy With Kat

Therapy With Kat Therapy that makes sense of the messy stuff. For adults and parents finding their way through neurodivergent life.

I’m Kat, a qualified psychotherapist offering online and email therapy for adults across the UK. I help people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious or emotionally drained to reconnect with themselves and feel more in control. I specialise in working with neurodivergent experiences (yours or a loved one’s), stress, trauma, and self-esteem. I work holistically and relationally — which means we look at your whole life and experiences, not just a diagnosis or symptom. Therapy with me is gentle, realistic, and rooted in compassion. No pressure, no perfection — just a supportive space to be fully yourself.

Plot twist: that "quirky" friend? The "anxious" one? The colleague who's "just really organized"?

Probably neurodivergent.

When 1 in 5 people are ND but you think you don't know any, something's not adding up.

Spoiler: it's masking, stereotypes, and a whole lot of survival strategies you never noticed.

There’s going to be some hard to hear stuff. But that’s where the change is.

Taking a Christmas break to rest and spend time with my family. I love this season, but I'm also aware it's not everyone's favourite time of year, and that's completely okay.

However you're navigating the next few weeks, I hope there are some good moments mixed in.

See you in January.

Not every family needs to do all the Christmas things.

Some kids thrive with lots of activity and change.

Others need quiet, familiar, predictable.

Both are fine.

You know your family. Trust what works for you, even if it looks different from everyone else's December.

Resilience...fortitude...whatever you call it, why do we need it? What does it do for us?

It creates pathways in our brains that help us to deal with stress.

Fun challenges help us deal with the not so fun challenges that life has a habit of throwing at us.

How do you challenge yourself? It could be reading that really epic book you've been putting off because it just looks so hard. It could be learning a new knitting pattern that takes some real deciphering.

Or, you could be foolish like me, and run around the streets of your homeotown on a Sunday morning.

You’re doing a great job.

No really, you are.

As we head into the weekend, give yourself a pat on the back. Do a happy dance. Do something to celebrate the feeling of getting through the week.

You’re doing a great job. I promise.

Monday: lost shoe
Tuesday: emergency p**p
Wednesday: “I hate these socks”
Thursday: where’s the water bottle?
Friday: all of the above.

You made it through the week of door-time chaos. You’re absolutely crushing it.

Now - go enjoy your weekend, you’ve earned it 🎉

"Too much screen time is the problem these days."

Can we retire this one?

For some kids, screens are regulating. They're predictable, controllable, and don't ask anything of a nervous system that's already working overtime.

For some families, screen time isn't the problem—it's the solution. It's the thing that gets you through the doctor's waiting room, the meltdown at 4pm, or the phone call you absolutely have to take.
It's not lazy parenting. It's survival parenting. And survival is severely underrated.

The "screen time police" aren't living in your house. They're not managing sensory overload, rigid routines, or the exhaustion that comes with neurodivergent parenting. You are.

So if screens are working for your family right now, they're working. Full stop.

You're doing a great job.

"Messy house messy mind" ???

Really??

What's your "normal"? Because that is a better baseline to assess yourself against. When you know yourself, and your normal, it becomes easier to identify when you might need some support, or make some changes, before things get too much.
