Katie Clark

Psychotherapist

“Cognitive-behavioral therapist with over 10 years experience treating anxiety and mood disorders in adults.”

About Me

I help adults effectively manage anxiety and mood disorders, drawing on over a decade of experience. As a cognitive-behavioural therapist, I guide you to understand how thoughts influence feelings. Together, we develop practical, evidence-based tools to shift unhelpful patterns. This structured approach helps you build resilience and find clearer ways forward. It's a good match for those seeking tangible strategies for daily life.

Approach

We start by tracking the micro-patterns—thoughts, urges, and routines—that quietly shape your day, then translate those observations into short, doable experiments you can try between sessions. In the room I keep the pace measured and practical: we set a focused agenda, practice skills together, and review what worked or didn’t so adjustments are clear. Homework is brief and tied to real situations you care about, not busywork. This way of working tends to suit people wanting steady, practical change in daily life.
