About me and my therapy practice
BABCP and ÌÇÐĹÙÍø Accredited CBT Therapist | King's Heath, Birmingham & Online UK-wide
I'm Katie — a dual-accredited CBT therapist and counsellor with over 15 years of experience in the NHS, university counselling, and private practice. I specialise in two areas: supporting people navigating the psychological side of GLP-1 weight loss medications (Mounjaro, Wegovy, Ozempic), and helping people work through anxiety, burnout, and major life transitions.
Weight Loss Medication Support
If you're on Mounjaro, Wegovy, or another GLP-1 medication, you may have noticed that the changes go beyond the physical. The identity shifts, the complicated feelings about food, the anxiety about what happens next — these are real, and they're rarely talked about in prescribing clinics. I work specifically with this psychological dimension, and it's an area where I can offer genuinely specialist support.
Anxiety, Burnout & Life Transitions
I also work with people experiencing anxiety, low mood, burnout, and significant life changes — the moments when what worked before stops working, and you need practical tools to find your feet again.
How I work
I'm warm, direct, and I won't just sit there tilting my head. CBT is an active, evidence-based approach — we work together on practical strategies that make a real difference, not just talk about how things feel. I also offer walk-and-talk therapy in Kings Heath Park, and in-vivo work for those who benefit from getting out of the therapy room.
Sessions are available in-person at The Well Health Centre in King's Heath, or online anywhere in the UK. I accept Aviva and AXA Health insurance.
Free 15-minute consultation available — no referral needed.
