You’ve come to the right place

Hi, I’m Kate.

Life can ask a lot of us. Along the way, we’ll second-guess ourselves, struggle through change, have our confidence knocked, and carry invisible loads. In the mix there’s love, loss, and the moments that really matter.

Being human can be tangled work - and our changing world doesn’t make it easy.

Therapy gives us space to think and room to breathe. A place to make sense of the mess and the meaning, and find a way through. Whatever you bring, we’ll work through it together.

Hello, welcome

Perhaps low mood, worry, or stress is feeling overwhelming. You might find yourself overthinking decisions, or feeling unmotivated. You might want to make a change, but don’t know where to start. Or maybe you’re feeling lost, or finding it hard to be hopeful.

These are all really good reasons to look for therapy.

I’m Kate Parkins, an experienced counsellor in the North East and online.

When we work together, I’ll listen attentively, question gently, and offer challenge when it's helpful. Together, we’ll find new ways to explore what’s been going on for you. 

Get in touch.
