Katherine Watson

I am a Clinical Psychologist whose focus is working with clients to identify and build on their strengths to help manage any challenges they might be facing. Typically I work with people who want to improve issues such as trauma, insomnia, anxiety, grief & loss, low mood/depression and adjusting to changes in their lives (work, family, relationships, health, menopause).

I have a few particular areas of interest: working with people affected by health issues (such as CFS, diabetes, heart disease, cancer) and neurodivergent clients who are wanting to increase their self-understanding and find a better life balance to support their neurodiversity.

I also work with military veterans through DVA (White and Gold card funded) for navigating the transition to civilian life and for stress and trauma related to service.

Another main area of interest is athletes and high performers. I work on perfomance anxiety, managing performance stress and return-to-sport psychology for injured athletes of any level.

My practice is grounded in mindfulness and compassion, and I use evidence-based approaches including Eye Movement Desensitisation & Re-processing (EMDR), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).

You are welcome to get in touch with me to organise a short phone call to see if we might be a good fit to work together.
