Counselling and therapy for individuals in a safe, comfortable and private setting
Welcome, and thank you for visiting Kate Listens Counselling.
My name is Kate Arnold. I use Humanistic/Person Centred principles as the core of my work. However, I offer an integrative approach, adapting and treating each person as being unique with separate needs and
requirements. I am an individual member and work within the British association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) Ethical Framework. I am also a registered member
of the National Counselling Society (NCS). I am a registered member with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).

I have a BA Hons (degree) in
Humanistic Counselling and an advanced Diploma in Psychotherapeutic
Counselling. I have over 6 years of counselling experience, face to face, as
well as by telephone and video conference (Zoom).
