Katrina Rodgers, BACP

Katrina Rodgers is a counsellor with 17 years of practice and a BACP accreditation. She introduces herself warmly and aims to make therapy straightforward and approachable for people under pressure.

Her style is gentle and supportive, while also offering challenge when it will help. Katrina uses plain conversation to identify strengths and build resilience. She tries to keep sessions practical and relevant to day-to-day life.

Over the years she has worked with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. She also helps with relationship worries, grief, intimacy-related concerns, eating and sleeping problems, parenting stress, anger and coping with life changes. ADHD, compassion fatigue and coaching needs are also part of her experience.

Katrina draws on several well-known therapy approaches to shape sessions. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters to them and take meaningful steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try different behaviours. Attachment-based ideas and emotionally-focused work inform how she looks at relationship patterns and emotional responses.

She aims to adapt each session to the person in front of her. Katrina describes herself as caring, compassionate and with a sense of humour. She invites people to speak honestly about what is hard and to work together on realistic ways forward.

How Katrina’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take small steps that match those values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and tries practical experiments to change unhelpful patterns. It helps with anxiety, depression and sleep or eating concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current emotional responses and can be useful when intimacy or relationship patterns cause distress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Katrina will discuss options and tailor methods to the person’s goals, needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as things move along.

The profile mentions that online counselling can be effective but does not list specific session types. Please confirm the current session formats before booking. In general, online work can make attending sessions easier to fit around daily life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed and let people use therapy during a busy week. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and resources to work well online, and Katrina aims to help clients find ways to make sessions suit their routine.
