Providing Integrative Counselling
What is Counselling?
What is Counselling?
Counselling aims to help individuals gain insights into their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, enabling them to better understand themselves and their relationships. This is done through a range of "talking therapies", where a trained professional helps an individual explore their emotional and psychological issues in a safe and confidential space. It's a process focused on understanding and managing problems, ultimately aiming to promote well-being and facilitate positive change.

Safe Space:
Hi! I’m Katie 😊
Based in Stratford-Upon-Avon, I am a qualified integrative therapist - which means I use a range of methodologies in my practice to cater to the client’s needs. Some of the main approaches I use include Person Centred, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Emotional Freedom Therapy and the Psychodynamic Approach (to name a few).
I believe everyone is different, and therefore can react differently to events. Meaning, each person will need different types of therapy to help them on their healing journey.
It’s all about you!
You are in charge of your mental health journey. I provide a safe and inclusive space for you to discover, challenge and process your thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Take everything at your own pace and create your own path, I’m here to hand you the tools and empower your process.
As a queer, disabled, neurodivergent woman from a working class background, I am passionate about providing an accessible and intersectional space for my clients. Constant stress and threats in our surroundings might lead us to feel helpless and want to give up; but there are strategies to develop resilience, find meaning in your experiences, and learn to love who you are.
I want to create a safe, inclusive, and accessible Alcove for people to feel empowered and to find peace with their true self.

Prices/Fees
Equitable Pricing
Equitable Pricing
At Therapy Alcove, we understand that although counselling can be essential, it can also be expensive over time.
Counsellor's fees are high due to the amount of ongoing training required for accreditation and monthly supervision needed for good practice. This can mean private or specialist therapy is out of reach for many.
With this in mind, lower cost therapy is available by special arrangements and is dependant on annual income and availability.
Sessions last 50 minutes with a standard rate of £40 per session (online). Face-to-face sessions are £45 per session, held in Stratford-Upon-Avon.
All appointments should be paid for in advance via bank transfer or cash. Any canceled or missed appointments that are under the agreed 24 hour notice, clients will be charged at the full rate of the session.
It's recommended weekly attendance (held at the same time slot) for 6-12 weeks, is important for therapy to progress. However, there is always room for flexibility.

Types of Therapy
A type of talk therapy where the client takes the lead in the therapeutic process. The therapist acts as a facilitator, creating a safe and supportive environment where the client can explore their thoughts and feelings without judgment.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - a type of talk therapy that helps individuals manage emotional concerns by changing their thoughts and behaviours. It's a structured, goal-oriented approach that focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviours.
A form of talking therapy that explores how past experiences, relationships, and the unconscious mind influence current thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. It aims to help individuals gain deeper self-awareness and understand the roots of their emotional difficulties.
Emotional Freedom Technique, also known as tapping, is a self-help technique that involves tapping on specific points on the body while focusing on negative emotions or thoughts. It is often described as a form of psychological acupressure.
Describes how the autonomic nervous system, specifically the vagus nerve, influences our emotional and social responses. It proposes that the nervous system operates in 3 main states: social engagement (ventral vagal), fight-or-flight (sympathetic), and immobilisation/ shutdown (dorsal vagal).
A type of therapy that emphasises self-awareness, present moment focus, and personal responsibility. Gestalt therapy utilises various techniques, including role-playing and creative expression, to facilitate self-discovery and personal growth.
A technique used in therapy exploring the symbolic meanings and potential unconscious messages within a person's dreams to gain insights into their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours
Don't be alarmed! Tarot isn't about telling your future, or associated with 'devil worship'. Tarot cards are used as a tool for self-exploration and personal growth within a therapeutic context. It combines creative storytelling and imagery with the guidance of a therapeutic space, helping individuals confront obstacles and reflect on their lives, emotions, and behaviours.
Creative Therapy uses artistic mediums like art, music, dance, or drama to help individuals express emotions and thoughts they may struggle to articulate verbally.
Trauma Informed therapy is a therapeutic approach that acknowledges the pervasive impact of trauma and aims to create a safe and supportive environment for healing.
