Katie B Counselling

I am a fully trained, qualified and insured counsellor. Face to face counselling offered within Northamptonshire and Cambridgeshire.

On line or telephone counselling offered nationwide. You may be looking for a Counsellor because you have noticed you are feeling anxious, down or depressed. You may have experienced a bereavement which you are struggling to come to terms with or you are facing a dilemma in your personal life and you don't know where to turn. May be you are looking for someone to talk to and be heard without any judgement. If any of this sounds familiar I can help. Talking to someone and being heard can be a very powerful experience and this is something I provide for you. I work with individuals aged 13 years and over on a variety of issues. I am experienced of working with people who have suffered bereavement or a loss as well as with other problems that may be having an impact on your mental health. My aim is to give my clients the choice as to how we work together. I offer face to face, on line or telephone counselling to give you the choice that is best for you. The first step is to make contact with me and I will arrange a telephone appointment with you where you can explore with me the type of help I can provide.

Some of you might be feeling a massive sense of relief to say goodbye to January but for others it will feel like any other day.

Winter is still with us but we are starting to see tiny buds of growth everywhere reminding us spring is on its way.

A new month is always a good opportunity to check in with yourself and how you are doing. Is there anything you are not paying attention that could use some help.

What is trust and what do you need to trust someone? It’s a question we reflect on a lot in the counselling room because it can have a direct impact on our mental health.

Us humans generally thrive by having real connections with others & an important part of all our relationships is trust.

To me trust is safety - it describes being able to share parts of ourselves with others. Some of us trust easily (which can bring its own issues) and for others it is more difficult. Past events and relationships will have a direct impact on how trust and therefore connection grows. When someone breaks our trust it can be really really damaging and we might find it difficult to form closer connections moving forward.

So how do you feel about trust? How much is it impacting the relationships you have right now?

Pre counselling me I used to think that in order to get help and support for mental health I would need to be in a full mental health crisis. I up grew in a time where we would still use the phrase lunatic asylum (scarily it really wasn’t that long ago!). Mental health had a label and you wouldn’t think about reaching out for help unless you were desperate.

Fortunately this image of mental health has changed. We are starting to recognise we all have mental health - good and bad. Attending therapy or counselling has become more of a norm and we talk about mental health more freely than we used to.

Asking for help and support as soon as we can feel we are not quite right could actually prevent a crisis from happening.

The majority of clients I work with in the counselling room are not in crisis. So if you are sat at home feeling like you are struggling - drop me a line. You don’t have to be in crisis to access counselling.

If your anxiety is anything like mine it seems like it always knows everything about everything. That little voice telling you what you are doing wrong and how badly it’s going to turn out.

But trust me - anxiety absolutely doesn’t always know best. Mine always gets it wrong.

We spend a lot of time worrying what could happen that we forget all the things that could go right and we forget to live in the moment and enjoy what’s happening now.

Anxiety is absolutely trying it’s best to keep you safe but it really really doesn’t know everything.

That is a lot of choice isn’t it?

From art therapy to music therapy and person centred therapy to psychodynamic therapy - there is something for everyone.

For many people accessing therapy or counselling the type of therapy is not actually that important - they just want support. But others will have done their homework and know exactly what type of therapy they want.

The variety of choice is amazing now we just need to convince everyone how important having therapy or counselling can be 😘😘

I always used to set New Years Resolutions and they were always based on me losing a ton of weight and becoming a new improved thinner version of myself. To me that would bring happiness - it would make me more confident and able to do new stuff. One of the outcomes of my own personal counselling journey (over 15 years ago now) was to reassess what this all meant.

Resolutions, intentions, goals whatever you might call them can be amazing. But if they are based on you becoming a new more improved version of yourself it might be time to reassess how they fit into your life. Check out my new blog with a personal account of why I binned New Year’s resolutions for good.

Time to refresh the intro - been a year now. The hair has changed, there are definitely more wrinkles and I have moved!

When choosing your counsellor/therapist for the things you are going through in life it is important to have a gut feel about the person you are choosing. So you need to have as much information as you can.

So this is me - I will share some more info soon so you can feel comfortable knowing if I am the right counsellor for you.

Welcome to a new series for 2026. Every Monday morning I will share a mental health face you may or may not know already. We all know we need to talk about mental health and mental health issues more & maybe these little prompts will encourage you to have a think about this a bit more.

This week we start with a statistic. 1 in 4 people struggle with a mental health issue every single year - that 25% of the population every year.

Mental health issues don’t have to be having major struggles or diagnosable conditions. Sometimes it’s about having a prolonged period of feeling very stressed or low. It might be a period of having higher anxiety. Maybe a significant life event like a house move, relationship difficulty or a bereavement might have an impact on how you feel.

Mental health difficulties can hit us all at some point in our life. There can be a stereotype that only a certain type of person struggles with mental health issues - but this statistic tells us that isn’t true. Plus it tells us you are not alone or weird if it’s happening to you right now.

If you are struggling there is always help available. Drop me a line if you would like to know more ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I hear so many clients tell me how self aware they are. They then proceed to tell me everything they do wrong and hate about themselves. This isn’t self-awareness it’s just an arse kicking.

Awareness helps us to understand the good and the bad. It helps us to be aware of our needs and why we do things.

Counselling helps us become more self aware. It cuts through the criticism and help build self compassion so we can listen to ourselves with a softer voice. Which of course leads to helping our own mental health.

How self aware are you?

First working day of the year has arrived for me. Everything is prepped and ready to go (including & especially myself!).

If you would like to know if counselling is for you - drop me a line.

New month & a new year often bring the desire to make changes - things we want to stop doing and things we want to start.

Just a little reminder that self compassion , gentleness & self care might get you a lot further than you realise.

What would you add to the list of things not to forget this January?

A happy new year from me to you.

I don’t know about everyone else but I find New Years Eve a tricky one to navigate. What ever I end up doing I always thing I should be doing something more exciting. Social media has not helped with that over the years.

This year we are staying at home with some good food, wine and stuff on the tv we didn’t manage to watch yet! It’s the second year running we have done this & I have worked out it’s actually ok.

Whatever your plans are I hope you have the evening and start to the new year you want or need the most.
