Kate Loosmore:
Integrative Psychotherapist (BACP)
My name is Kate Loosmore, and I’m a qualified psychotherapist accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
I have an MA in Psychotherapy and Counselling, gained after three years in training and two years working in private practice. I work one-to-one with individuals in person and online.
If you are feeling isolated, lost, burnt out, or anxious, I can help. Perhaps you feel stuck repeating cycles that you’d like to escape, having the same arguments, and ending up in the same situations.
Maybe you compare yourself to those around you and find yourself lacking somehow.
We will explore the problems you are facing together, at a pace you are comfortable with. This is a place to be creative and curious.
My style is warm and empathetic and I work with clients collaboratively, as equal partners in an alliance.
I understand that coming to therapy may seem daunting, and it might feel like you don’t know where to begin. I will do all I can to put you at ease and create a supportive, reflective space in which you feel safe.
My priority is the relationship we will build, as this creates the perfect arena for challenging old patterns and starting something new. This is a place to say exactly how you are feeling, without fear of judgement or rejection.
How I work:
You may have heard of therapeutic modalities like cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and psychoanalysis, as well as existential and humanistic psychotherapies. You might have experienced these styles of therapy in the past.
Something these different approaches have in common is the idea that we can often internalize scripts about others and ourselves that stand in the way of true connection.
My approach is integrative, meaning that I have training in each of these ways of working but adapt to provide a therapy that changes with you and looks deeply at how your past experiences shape your present, but also about your identity more widely, what you value and find meaningful.
My focus will always be on understanding you as fully as I can.
I have experience working with a variety of challenges, including:
- Past traumatic experiences
- Sexuality and gender identity
- Shame
- Low self-esteem
- Loss of meaning and burnout
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Sex and relationship difficulties
My particular interests are in concerns of identity and intersectionality.
What to expect:
Sessions last 50 minutes and can be online or in person. I charge £70 per session.
We can begin with an initial assessment session that will let us find out more about one another and help decide whether I am the right therapist for you.
If you have any questions before booking a session please contact me below, we can arrange a fifteen-minute call for free.
