I aim to create a warm, supportive space where you can come as you are. My hope is that you feel genuinely heard, and able to be yourself in an atmosphere of care and curiosity.
Counselling offers a space to reflect on your experiences and to make sense of the challenges you may be facing. I hold to the belief that ‘the person is not the problem, the problem is the problem’ – offering an empowering way of understanding the difficulties we face. Together, we can explore what has been shaping your life, while also noticing your strengths, values, and hopes for the future.
From my own experience of being a parent, seasons of change, and life’s challenges, I know what it’s like when things feel a bit messy and uncertain. This helps me sit alongside others in a way that is honest, grounded, and empathetic.
I work with adolescents (13+) and adults, and have experience supporting people from a range of backgrounds and life experiences.
I offer a free 15-minute phone call if that would be helpful to explore the possibility of working together. You’re welcome to get in touch via the contact form, text, or email me at katherinejourdain.counselling@gmail.com

"Katherine's approach has truly opened my eyes to the benefits of client-based counselling.
Katherine's style is empowering, empathetic, strengths-based, and non-judgmental. I felt completely safe and vulnerable during our sessions, which allowed me to explore my situation deeply.
Her insightful questions encouraged me to view issues from different perspectives, and her use of narrative therapy was particularly impactful. The idea of the different stories we tell ourselves was very helpful".
