Solution Focused Psychotherapy, Reverse Therapy & Coaching
Explore your thoughts, feelings and life challenges while learning ways to improve and grow.
Hello, my name is Kathleen
My journey into talking therapy and coaching began in 2002 after a conversation with a medical colleague.
I had qualified as a nurse in 1987 and loved many aspects of the profession, but I wanted a role that allowed me to spend more time supporting those in need. Inspired by a friend’s suggestion, I took the bold step of heading to London to retrain as a psychotherapist.
This decision not only changed my career path but also deepened my passion for helping others navigate their own journeys towards healing and growth.
How can I help?
I specialise in helping and supporting people who are struggling with their life, health or career. As a professional psychotherapist, reverse therapist, and life coach based in Scotland, I work with clients from all over the world via phone and video calls to restore their motivation, confidence, energy, performance, and health.

In my practice, I combine several therapy methods:
-
Solution-Focused Psychotherapy
Solution focused therapy (SFP) is a brief, goal-oriented form of therapy that focuses on identifying and amplifying the client's strengths and resources to help them find solutions to their problems. It is good for addressing specific issues, setting achievable goals, and promoting positive change in a relatively short period of time.
Eye Movement Integration (EMI) was taught as part of the SFP training and is a therapeutic technique used to help individuals process and resolve traumatic memories. EMI helps reprocess and integrate the experience in a more adaptive and healing way.
-
Reverse Therapy
Reverse Therapy is a holistic approach to treating chronic conditions that focuses on identifying the underlying emotional and physiological factors contributing to the illness. It is good for individuals experiencing conditions such as chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, and stress-related illnesses, as it helps them address the root causes of their symptoms and make significant lifestyle changes to improve their health and well-being.
-
Positive Psychology Coaching
Positive psychology coaching is a strengths-based approach that focuses on promoting well-being, resilience, and personal growth. It is good for individuals looking to cultivate a positive mindset, enhance their overall life satisfaction, and achieve their goals by focusing on and developing their strengths and values. Positive psychology coaching emphasises building on what is going well in a person's life, rather than solely addressing problems or pathology.

What my clients say...

"Kathleen is the person who taught me to radically trust the signals from my body, and with her help I recovered completely from debilitating post viral fatigue in my 20's."
D. Robins | UK, August 2021
"Kathleen is kind, compassionate but most of all very engaged and truly present. She helped guide me and gave me useful tools that bought me clarity at a time when I felt as though I had none."
Duncan G. | UK, April 2021
“One thing is for sure – you are never too old for a Reverse Therapy “re-boot”. Having got to know Kathleen through Reverse Therapy over 10 years ago on the back of a long-running virus, I knew of the wonders that she can work when it comes to creating some much needed re-structuring to your life, consisting of balance, health, control, emotions, communication…to name a few important aspects of life."
