Kat Hurst
Counsellor in Wakefield

Hello, my name is Kat and I am an anxiety and trauma focused therapist and clinical supervisor, registered with the BACP.

I support clients who have experienced any kind of anxiety such as generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety, PTSD, low self-esteem, depression and/or any kind of trauma or abuse, such as physical, sexual, psychological, neglect, etc. I work from a gendered perspective with women and girls and those who identify as female only from the age of 14 and above.

If you are seeking therapy for something other than a specific anxiety issue or trauma, I would be glad to meet with you so you can determine if my way of working will be suitable for your needs. I believe empowerment is the key to moving on after trauma and therefore, it is empowerment that I put at the forefront of my work with clients.

Please email me at contact@kathursttherapy.co.uk for any questions or bookings.

Approach to Counselling & How I Work

I work in an integrative way with clients using a phased approach to recovery. I will offer you the space to talk and be truly heard about matters that are causing you distress. I work collaboratively with clients, meaning we explore your thoughts and feelings together from a non-judgemental perspective at a pace that feels comfortable for you. I believe you are the expert on you and I am there to support you reach the change, personal insight, self-awareness and growth you are looking for.
