A little bit about me!

Hi,

I’m Katie and I’m the face behind Therapy Walks.

I am an experienced counsellor and psychotherapist qualified in Person Centered Counselling.
Alongside running my private practice, I currently work with Children and Young People across Lancashire offering counselling support within educational settings.

I have a BSc Degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy from The University of Derby and am an accredited member of the BACP. I am qualified to work with both adults, children and young people, choosing to specialise in CYP in my final year of study.

My Passion…

Helping people and spending time outdoors are a huge part of my life. I feel privileged to have been able to combine my 2 passions to develop Therapy Walks and share the benefits of outdoor therapy with others.

Like most people I have experienced my fair share of challenges throughout life. Being outdoors has always offered me a space to reflect and process difficult feelings. I seem to find clarity and peace when I am amongst nature, whether this is walking, running or taking a moment to  stop and breath in my surroundings and the beauty that is all around us.
