Kate McIver

I offer daytime therapy sessions on week days. 

Whatever you’re facing, you don't need to do it alone; finding the right help can make all the difference.

I provide counselling and psycho-therapy to adults and young people over 18. My relationship with my clients is central and my approach is gentle. I'm guided by what each person wants, what works best for them and the pace they want to go at.

I'm committed to helping you find a way through. I have many years' experience with individuals and groups, supporting people to work with uncertainty and familiar habits; to recognise choices and to strengthen resilience.

I've worked with people going through many different challenges including: anxiety; BPD/EUPD (symptoms or diagnosis); binge eating; bulimia; body issues; depression; bereavement; health problems; stress and relationship issues. I also run workshops and courses on mindfulness, managing anxiety, eating issues, mental health and stress/resilience.

My core approach is person-centred. I also offer aspects of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and I'm certified (by BIDBT) at enhanced level to deliver DBT skills training to individuals and groups. I have lots of experience working both with people living with BPD/EUPD and people with eating issues (particularly binge eating, emotional eating and bulimia).

If you think you might like to work with me then please get in touch. 

I'm currently offering counselling sessions online and by telephone. 

I offer the option of an initial phone chat (up to 20 minutes) to discuss practical issues and get a sense of what it would be like to work together.  The initial call is free and optional and can be set up at a time that works for you.

I offer supervision during the day on weekdays. 

I offer restorative supervision to counsellors, psychotherapists and other professionals requiring support and supervision in their roles. My approach is collaborative and warm, with the intention of creating a supportive relationship within which to effectively support you in your work. I work to the Proctor and Inskipp functional model of supervision, where your needs are central to the work we do together.

As a supervisor I have experience of supervising trainees as well as experienced qualified therapists offering a wide range of modalities. My own therapeutic approach is person-centred and I also draw on DBT, mindfulness and compassion focused approaches. 

Fees for supervision sessions are £60 per hour and £80 for 90 minutes.

I provide clinical supervision to counsellors and psychotherapists. I am qualified with a Level 6 Certificate in Therapeutic Counselling Supervision (CPCAB).

I offer a free initial 20 minute phone consultation to discuss practicalities and get a sense of how we might work together.
