Kathleen is an empathetic person. She is unjudgemental and so easy to connect with because of her unjudgemental behaviour. She helped me recognise patterns in my thinking that were harmful and gently, yet firmly, guided me through those feelings and irrational thoughts better than anyone ever has. She is very well trained and I really benefitted from therapy with her.
