Experience Change with Kate Walker Psychotherapy
YOUR LOCAL PSYCHOTHERAPIST - HERE TO SUPPORT YOU
I support clients across Leicestershire and Rutland with a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties. Life can feel overwhelming and, at times, deeply exhausting - particularly if you’ve been holding things together on your own. I offer a thoughtful, supportive space to help you navigate these challenges.
My aim is to help you develop a deeper understanding of yourself, your experiences, and your patterns, while also supporting you to work through present-day difficulties. Together, we can explore ways of coping with change that feel more sustainable, compassionate, and aligned with who you are.
“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.”

Get to Know Me
From an early age, I knew I wanted a career where I could make a meaningful difference in people’s lives. This led me to train as a psychotherapist, and I continue to approach my work with care, curiosity, and deep respect for the trust clients place in me.
I’m committed to supporting clients with compassion and integrity, and to working in ways that are thoughtful, responsive, and ethically grounded. I aim to offer a therapeutic space where you feel genuinely cared for and supported as you navigate life’s challenges - whether these relate to current difficulties or to experiences from earlier in your life. I work at a pace that feels safe and manageable, particularly when therapy involves trauma or long-standing emotional pain.
I have experience and specialist interest in working with a wide range of presenting issues, including:
Anxiety and depression; neurodivergence (including ADHD and autism); trauma and childhood trauma; PTSD, CPTSD, and dissociation; suicidal thoughts; grief and loss; cancer diagnosis and treatment; chronic illness including ME; relationship and attachment difficulties; familial alcohol misuse; abandonment experiences, and related emotional and relational challenges.

Common Queries
ALL THE ANSWERS YOU SEEK, IN ONE PLACE
Have a question you’d like to ask? You’re very welcome to explore the FAQs below. There’s no such thing as a bad question when it comes to mental health, and I aim to be open and clear about the way I work.
If anything isn’t answered here, you’re welcome to get in touch.
Do you offer sliding scale rates?
No, my rates are fixed.
How long does each therapy session take?
Each therapy session is 50minutes long.
What kind of therapy do you offer?
I’m an Integrative Psychotherapist, which means I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches rather than working from a single model. I offer a relational, developmental approach to therapy, with a strong focus on the therapeutic relationship and on understanding how past experiences may be shaping the present.
My work is collaborative, flexible, and paced to feel safe and manageable, allowing therapy to be shaped around you and your needs.
How often should I come to therapy?
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer, as everyone’s needs are different. We can decide together what session frequency feels most supportive for you. I usually recommend weekly sessions to begin with, as this can help build continuity and momentum. Over time, sessions may become more or less frequent, and towards the end of therapy it’s common to move to fortnightly sessions.
Are you a member of any accrediting bodies?
Yes. I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
My membership number is 401890.
Do you work remotely or just face to face?
I offer both face-to-face and online therapy sessions. Online sessions take place via secure video platforms such as Microsoft Teams. I don’t offer therapy sessions by phone.
What is your fee?
My fixed fee is £65 per session.
