Ms Katherine Hegarty

Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist

“An experienced psychotherapist offering weekly sessions on a short or longer term basis depending on your needs.”

About Me

As an experienced Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist, Katherine Hegarty guides individuals toward a deeper understanding of themselves. She helps explore how past experiences and unconscious patterns shape present feelings and relationships. Weekly sessions offer a consistent, confidential space for this work. This approach suits those seeking lasting change; support can be tailored for short or longer-term needs.

Approach

Regular meetings are paced to your needs, shifting gently between present feelings and the earlier patterns that shape them, so therapy unfolds at a sustainable rhythm. In my Brighton consulting room or online I offer a steady, confidential frame where we notice reactions, link emotions to experience and test new ways of relating. Sessions combine close listening with reflective questions and occasional exploration of dreams or memories when helpful; between meetings I may suggest simple observations to bring back. This way of working suits those seeking thoughtful, lasting understanding.
