About Katie
Katie Shaw is a counsellor and a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP). She has 22 years of experience and works with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, grief, self-esteem and depression. She practises in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English.
Katie describes herself as an integrative counsellor who draws on several counselling models. She uses person-centred ideas alongside cognitive behavioural and solution-focused techniques. That means sessions may include talking through immediate problems, looking at patterns of thought and trying small practical changes between meetings.
Sessions place the client at the centre. Katie aims to help people increase confidence and self-esteem and to think through difficult choices. Conversations can cover feelings, behaviour and practical steps to manage day-to-day pressure from work, relationships or health challenges.
Her wider focus includes ageing and geriatric issues, attachment concerns, body image, cancer-related stress, caregiver strain, communication problems and control issues. She also works with people affected by divorce and separation, drug and alcohol addiction, fertility issues and prolonged loneliness.
Katie has worked in a variety of settings since qualifying in 2003, including as a school counsellor supporting secondary school and sixth form students and staff. Her background means she is used to short-term problem work as well as ongoing support over time.

Sheet 2
Approaches used in remote counselling and what to expect
Katie uses an integrative mix of person-centred, cognitive behavioural and solution-focused ideas. Person-centred work means the conversation follows what matters most to the client and explores feelings and values. Cognitive behavioural ideas look at how thoughts and behaviours interact and support practical experiments to change unhelpful patterns. Solution-focused techniques concentrate on small, achievable steps and identifying what is already working.Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. Katie will discuss goals, preferences and what feels useful, and make adjustments as the sessions progress. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed prescription.
The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around daily commitments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make arranging sessions across different locations simpler, which is helpful for people who accept international appointments.
