Person-Centred Counselling in Rushden, Northamptonshire
Established in 2005, Katrina Wilson Smith Counselling & Psychotherapy provides person-centred counselling rooted in over 15 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, families, and organisations. With a background spanning education, psychology, and international training roles, I hold an Advanced Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy and am registered with Counselling Directory. My practice combines academic expertise from Dundee University research on dyslexia and corporate experience as a Senior Training Manager for a global airline, where I developed communication strategies for international teams. I specialise in creating safe, non-judgmental spaces to address anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship challenges, working within the ethical frameworks of the British Association of Counselling Practitioners.Sessions are tailored to individual needs, offering flexible durations and formats including in-person, telephone, and video consultations. My approach prioritises client autonomy, focusing on self-awareness and practical tools for sustainable personal growth. CRB-checked and committed to ongoing professional development, I serve clients from Rushden, Northamptonshire, and surrounding areas including Northampton, Bedford, and Milton Keynes. Testimonials highlight transformative outcomes, with clients reporting renewed confidence and improved emotional well-being. By integrating academic insight with compassionate practice, I empower clients to navigate life's complexities and achieve meaningful change.
