About Katharine
Katharine (Kate) James works with people who feel stuck, anxious or overwhelmed. She uses hypnotherapy alongside talking therapies to help clients find calm, build confidence and reconnect with what matters. Kate brings 17 years of practice to each session and aims to make therapy straightforward and practical.
Her style is gentle and collaborative. Sessions focus on what matters to the client and on small, achievable steps. Kate blends client-centred listening with tools from cognitive behavioural approaches and mindfulness to tackle unhelpful thinking and manage stress.
Background and approach
Many people come for help with anxiety, low mood, relationship problems and life changes. She also supports those dealing with grief, trauma and issues around intimacy, eating or sleep. Practical coaching techniques are used alongside therapeutic work when clients want clearer goals or structure.
Kate holds NCPS, which is noted as her credential. She works with people in the United Kingdom and runs sessions online by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Sessions aim to fit around busy lives and different communication preferences.
Initial meetings are used to agree goals and find a way of working that suits each person. Kate’s approach is collaborative - she listens first, then suggests simple strategies to try between sessions. The work can be short-term or longer depending on what the person wants to achieve.

Online support
How hypnotherapy and talking therapies work online
Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to help people access different states of mind. Online hypnotherapy sessions can support anxiety, sleep issues and patterns that people want to change by offering calm, repeated exercises and suggestions tailored to the person.Client-centred therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of the session. The therapist listens closely and follows the client’s lead, helping them make sense of feelings and decide what to try next. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical strategies to reduce distress and change unhelpful habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with the client to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. Sessions begin with conversation about what is needed, then the plan is adjusted as the work progresses so it stays useful and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for a full face-to-face feel, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and messaging options suit brief check-ins or people who prefer to write. These choices make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and day-to-day life while keeping continuity between appointments.
