Kathrine Carton, ACA

Kathrine Carton is an ACA counsellor with six years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety and depression. She also supports those facing grief, low self-esteem and major life changes. Kathrine aims to create a respectful, sensitive space for people to begin change.

She tailors conversations and plans to each person’s needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. Sessions are practical and goal-oriented, with attention to how problems show up in daily life. Kathrine helps people build confidence, find coping strategies and work through relationship or family tensions.

Her work also includes support for caregiver stress, loneliness and the challenges that come with ageing and geriatric issues. She offers guidance around end-of-life matters and hospice-related concerns when these are part of a person’s experience. Kathrine pays attention to emotional safety and pacing, letting people set the tempo for deeper work.

People often come for help with sleep disruption, panic symptoms or social anxiety, and she uses straightforward tools to reduce distress. Conversations may include practical breathing and grounding techniques, problem-solving for daily routines, and planning steps towards meaningful goals. Kathrine encourages small, sustainable changes that build resilience over time.

She believes taking the first step is an act of courage and stays alongside people as they try new ways of coping. Her aim is to support and empower people to reach clearer thinking and greater wellbeing.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Evidence-based approaches in Kathrine's work focus on clear, practical steps. One common element is brief skills training in coping and anxiety management, which teaches breathing, grounding and simple behavioural adjustments to lower stress and panic. These tools help with sleep, panic attacks and day-to-day anxiety.

Another emphasis is grief and loss support delivered through structured conversations. This involves naming the loss, allowing space for emotion, and planning routines and memorial actions that help people carry on with purposeful living. It can also include caregiver-focused problem solving for those under prolonged strain.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kathrine will talk with clients about their goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before. That collaborative process guides which techniques are used and how quickly the work deepens.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into busy schedules and reducing travel time. If you are considering online options, confirm which formats are available before booking since the biography does not list them. Kathrine aims to make therapy workable alongside everyday life by focusing on short plans and tools that can be used between sessions.
