Kate Roberts

Registered Social Worker

“I support women struggling with ADHD, anxiety, stress, overwhelm, trauma, burn out, relationships, and ptsd.”

About Me

I help individuals navigate the complexities of anxiety, stress, and overwhelm. My focus is on supporting those experiencing burnout, trauma, depression, or ADHD, and other mental health challenges. Together, we can explore practical strategies to build resilience and find a path towards greater stability. This approach offers a compassionate space for anyone seeking tailored support to manage daily pressures.

Approach

When day-to-day life feels chaotic from ADHD, trauma, or burnout, I focus therapy on slowing the pace and tuning into what feels most manageable first. I meet people in Peterborough and online in English, using body-centred noticing, practical routines, and collaborative problem-solving so sessions feel steady and purposeful. Between sessions you may try short, manageable experiments to test new ways of organising attention or soothing overwhelm. This way of working often suits women seeking clear tools and gentler momentum toward stability.
