About Kathleen

Kathleen Foulger is a counsellor credentialed with NCPS in the United Kingdom and has six years of professional experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, depression, addictions, relationship strain, parenting pressures, anger and low self-esteem. Kathleen also has additional focus on domestic violence.

Her practice begins with listening to the person's story and recognising the strengths they already have. She treats people as the experts on their own lives and helps them build on what is already working. Initial sessions typically focus on identifying immediate concerns and practical next steps.

In later sessions she uses everyday, evidence-based techniques to address feelings and behaviours that cause repeated difficulties. This includes looking at patterns that keep anger and anxiety returning, and trying out new ways of responding in stressful moments. Sessions can include simple skills for managing strong emotions and coping with grief.

Kathleen encourages straightforward conversation about painful experiences such as sexual or domestic abuse, while keeping the work focused on what the client wants to change. She also supports people who are coping with addictions or depression by breaking problems into manageable steps.

Her style is practical and direct. She aims to help people notice small changes that ease tension at home and work. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How sessions work

How Kathleen blends approaches online

Psychological approaches used in her work focus on clear, evidence-based techniques that address immediate symptoms and unhelpful patterns. One common strand is skills-based work that teaches concrete ways to manage strong emotions such as anger and anxiety, including grounding and brief coping strategies that can be practised between sessions. Another strand is trauma-informed support which helps people to talk through difficult experiences at a pace that feels manageable and to reduce the ways those memories affect everyday thinking and behaviour.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Kathleen aims to find an approach that fits the person and their goals by discussing options together and adjusting methods as progress is made. The client and therapist decide collaboratively what to focus on and how to measure small changes over time.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or let someone work without being on camera. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use these practical benefits to help people keep therapy consistent alongside everyday life.
