Kate Buchanan

I work both face to face and on-line in the day-time and early evenings.  I currently have availability for both.

Hi, my name is Kate. I am a registered  member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy.

I have broad experience working with clients experiencing a range of issues including anxiety and depression, trauma, grief and loss and palliative care.

For the past two years I have counselled clients through a Bristol based hospice – supporting people who have been or are anticipating bereavement and those who have been diagnosed with a terminal illness. 

For many years I volunteered with the Samaritans, supporting people in crisis who may be considering ending their lives.

I am an integrative counsellor, which means that I am trained in a number of therapeutic approaches. Central to my work is a person-centred approach, with a focus on what is concerning you.

I provide a space where you can talk and be listened to as you explore your thoughts and fears. I can give you the chance to express how you feel and say the things you feel unable to say to friends and family without feeling judged.

I first experienced counselling when I was having to navigate my way through a complex and traumatic time of my life. I know from this personal experience just how important it is to be able to honestly express and explore your experience and feelings. 

I offer a free 15 minute on-line or phone call to explore how we may be able to work together.
