Katy Berwick Counselling

Affordable counselling in Bath

I work in an integrative way; this means that I use a variety of therapeutic approaches to suit you as a unique individual or couple. Since 2012, I have experience of counselling people with a variety of mental health issues; such as addiction, trauma, relationship difficulties, depression, anxiety and bereavement.

From 2012 - 2019, I specialised in supporting people with any form of eating disorder through the Bath-based charity Focus Counselling.

Since 2010, I have worked with people with dementia and their carers in a health and social care setting. I have undertaken a wide range of training in this area, providing me with a strong understanding of how dementia and the role of caring can impact on a person’s life. Combined together my experience led me to work for the counselling service for Alzheimer’s Support.

From my experience in working with people facing a life-changing diagnosis, I also have provided counselling for two charities: We Hear You and Penny Brohn UK; helping people with cancer and other terminal illness and their families.

Couples Counselling

My approach to couples therapy provides a safe space to explore the impact of conflict or impasse which may be a block to affection and intimacy. I will work with you to help you and your partner identify which needs are not being met, how these can be safely communicated and heard; working towards a healthier relationship and individual growth.

Couples therapy is not limited to romantic partners or spouses, but for any two people in a relationship, for example friends and family members.

Additional Skills

I offer creativity and artistic expression in counselling sessions as a means of self-exploration and reaching new understanding; as words can often limit our ability to express our feelings.

I am a “Dissociative-Friendly” therapist and can be found on the PODS (Positive Outcomes for Dissociative Survivors) register. This means that I am happy to work with people who experience dissociative symptoms from past traumas. More information about dissociative identity disorder and the register can be be found here – http://www. pods-online.org. uk /

Since 2012, I have been facilitating support groups for different client groups including, people with dementia, carers, people with eating disorders and young people with anxiety.

I have developed and delivered educational workshops for professionals working with people with dementia and people with eating disorders.

I am a Registered and Accredited Member of BACP (MBACP Accred. ) and adhere to their Ethical Principles and Code of Practice.
