Katherine
Hunt

Katherine is a registered Clinical Psychologist with over 20 years' experience supporting adolescents (12–18 years) and adults. She works with a range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, emotional regulation difficulties, sleep problems, relationship challenges and disordered eating.

Katherine believes therapy is most effective when people feel safe, understood and supported. She takes a collaborative and personalised approach, helping clients make sense of their experiences, understand unhelpful patterns, and build on their strengths using evidence-based therapies tailored to their individual needs.

She has a particular interest in perinatal mental health, supporting people through pregnancy, birth trauma, postnatal anxiety and depression, and early parent–infant relationships. She has also contributed to perinatal research through the Institute of Psychiatry in London.

Katherine also has extensive experience working with trauma, helping clients process difficult experiences and better understand the impact of trauma on both the mind and body. Her aim is to create a calm, compassionate space where people can move towards greater resilience, self-compassion and lasting wellbeing.
