Kathryn Hutchinson

I have availability for remote counselling sessions via Skype, Microsoft Teams, Zoom or over the telephone on Monday, Tuesday or Thursday evenings.Sessions can be conducted from the comfort of your own home.

Hello my name is Kathryn and I am an Accredited Counsellor. I have a MSc degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy and a background in Psychology. I am a Team Leader of a Counselling service for a mental health charity alongside my private practice, Sense Counselling Manchester which I have run for 5 years.

Issues such as, anxiety, low mood, grief, stress, relationships and family issues can lead to you not feeling fulfilled with life. I can help you make sense of your life, enabling you to understand yourself, your values and your beliefs better. This in turn can ultimately bring more purpose into your life.

I offer Person Centred Counselling which is about you talking about your worries, emotions and troubles freely. I am non judgemental, compassionate and professional. I can help you find your own solutions and make sense of what is going on in your life. I can assist you in identifying unhelpful thinking or behavioural patterns that make you feel stuck in life.

If appropriate,I offer CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) interventions along with Solution Focussed approaches.

On the first session (initial assessment) I take a full history of any mental health problems and presenting issues. We look at what your goals of therapy would be and help you to gain focus.

Sessions are 50 minute's long and I offer short and long sessions of weekly, fortnightly or monthly (as agreed in the first session). All sessions, including the initial assessment are £45 made payable via bank transfer prior to each session.

You can get in touch with me via my email sensecounsellingmanchester@outlook.com (please check your junk folder as responses can end up in there). If you would like a chance to have an informal chat with me first, this is OK. I understand finding a Counsellor can be daunting and you need to find one that feels right for you.
