The person you’ll be talking to

Hello, I’m Kita.

I’ll listen, ask questions and help you look more closely at the things that are troubling you. There is room to pause, change your mind or tell me I have misunderstood.

My approach is integrative and relational. That means we pay attention to your experiences, your relationships and what is happening in your life now. We decide together what is useful to work on.

You can ask how I work before deciding whether to begin. The first conversation is also a chance for you to get a feel for me.

What has been taking up too much space?

If you want to read before enquiring, explore self-esteem and confidence in men or the welcoming guide to therapy with Kita.

Sometimes there is an obvious reason to seek therapy: a loss, a breakup, a difficult relationship or a move that has left you unsettled. Sometimes you cannot point to one thing. You just know that keeping everything going is taking more out of you than it used to.

You can begin with an ordinary moment. The message you keep rereading. The Sunday evening you dread. The conversation where you said “it’s fine” and wished you hadn’t. I can help you slow it down and describe what was happening for you.

You are welcome to come on your own about a relationship. We will focus on your experience and the choices available to you, without making assumptions about someone who is not in the room.

What happens in a session?

  1. We start with what matters this week. You might bring a recent conversation, an emotion you cannot place or a question about your future. We agree where to begin.
  2. We look more closely. I may ask about the thoughts, feelings and responses around that moment, and whether it connects with earlier experiences. We also consider what is happening around you now.
  3. We consider what you want to try. This could mean preparing a boundary, recognising a repeated response or allowing time for grief. A session does not have to end with homework to be useful.
  4. We review the work. We return to your goals and discuss what is helping, what feels difficult and whether the approach needs to change.

I work integratively and relationally. You can ask me to slow down, explain a question or try another way of talking. I will not expect you to tell your whole history at the first appointment.

What would you like help with?

I keep analysing my relationship

We can look at the worry alongside what is actually happening between you. See relationship anxiety therapy. If intrusive thoughts and compulsive checking are central, an OCD assessment may be appropriate.

My life changed and I no longer feel like myself

A move, a separation or a change in work can affect your sense of direction. Read about identity after relocation and therapy for expats.

I find it hard to trust or ask for what I need

We can explore specific relationships and what happens when you depend on someone, disagree or feel let down. See therapy for attachment difficulties.

Everyone needs something from me

We can look at what happens when you put your own needs first, what makes saying no difficult and whether the responsibilities you carry leave any space for you. We can practise words that feel honest without asking you to become a different person.

What might we actually work on?

Suppose you often agree to help, then feel resentful and exhausted. We might look at one recent request: what you wanted to say, what you feared would happen if you said it, and what you did instead.

From there, we could try a response you can imagine using: “I need to check what I can manage before I agree.” We would also make room for the guilt or worry that might follow. A useful sentence is a beginning, not the whole of the work.

At other times, you may need to talk about a loss or an experience you have never had space to describe. We can decide together whether that day calls for a practical step, more understanding or simply time with something painful.

A format that allows you to take part

If you are autistic, have ADHD or have other access needs, tell me what helps you communicate. You may prefer direct questions, a clear outline, time to think or permission to use notes. We can discuss adjustments without assuming that everyone with the same diagnosis needs the same thing.

If speaking on video feels difficult, written counselling may be an option after a suitability conversation. It is £50 per week for one personal reply through Carepatron on an agreed day.

Fees, privacy and the first conversation

The free consultation lasts 15–20 minutes. We discuss what you want help with, whether my approach fits and how appointments would work. Individual sessions are £70 for 50 minutes. Frequency, cancellation terms and confidentiality are agreed before therapy begins. See fees and process.

If you are outside the UK, I check your physical location and the relevant conditions before agreeing sessions. Read about international suitability. This practice does not provide emergency or crisis response.

Questions you may have

What if I do not know what to talk about?

You can begin with what prompted you to look for therapy. I can ask questions to help you describe it. There is no requirement to prepare a speech or give your whole history at once.

How many therapy sessions will I need?

There is no fixed number that suits everyone. We discuss what you want help with at the start and review the work together. You can ask about progress, frequency or ending at any stage.

Can I talk about my partner without them attending?

Yes. Individual therapy can help you consider your own experience, boundaries and decisions. It cannot provide a diagnosis of your partner or guarantee a change in their behaviour.

Is the free consultation a therapy session?

It is a short conversation about your needs, suitability and how we might work together. It is not a full therapy session and does not commit you to booking further appointments.
