KATE WALKER
PSYCHOTHERAPY
Neurodivergence & Trauma Specialist
Neurodivergence-Informed
& Trauma-Aware Psychotherapy
Specialist therapy for neurodivergent adults across the UK and internationally - including autistic and ADHD clients- and those impacted by developmental or relational trauma.
If you've always felt "too sensitive", "too much", or quietly exhausted from holding everything together, therapy can offer a space to understand why, and support you to build something steadier. Many adults seek therapy after recognising patterns of burnout, overwhelm, masking, attachment difficulties or long standing relational wounds.
​
My work combines neurotype-informed understanding with trauma aware therapy in Oakham, Rutland and online across the UK and internationally. Together we will work to understand your nervous system, explore your patterns, and build emotional regulation that feels sustainable - not forced.
My aim is to help you make sense of your patterns, gain self-understanding, and build a life that feels authentic and fulfilled.​
“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.”

Get to Know Me
I specialise in working with neurodivergent adults and those affected by relational or developmental trauma. My work combines clinical depth with genuine care, offering a space where your experiences can be explored safely and without judgement.
I approach therapy with curiosity, integrity, and respect for the trust placed in me. Whether we are working with long-standing trauma, burnout, attachment patterns, or current life stressors, my aim is to help you develop clarity, self-understanding, and sustainable change.
I hold a BSc (Hons) in Integrative Counselling & Psychotherapy and bring over 15 years of personal and professional experience working with neurodivergence. My clinical work is supported by ongoing supervision and continued professional development to ensure it remains ethical, reflective, and current.
I have experience supporting clients with anxiety and depression; ADHD and autism; PTSD, CPTSD and dissociation; suicidal thoughts; grief and loss; chronic illness; cancer; attachment and relationship difficulties; familial alcohol misuse; and the lasting impact of abandonment or misattunement.

Common Queries
ALL THE ANSWERS YOU SEEK, IN ONE PLACE
Have a question you’d like to ask? You’re very welcome to explore the FAQs below. There’s no such thing as a bad question when it comes to mental health, and I aim to be open and clear about the way I work.
If anything isn’t answered here, you’re welcome to get in touch.
Do you offer sliding scale rates?
No, my rates are fixed.
How long does each therapy session take?
Each therapy session is 50minutes long.
What kind of therapy do you offer?
I’m an Integrative Psychotherapist, which means I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches rather than working from a single model. I offer a relational, developmental approach to therapy, with a strong focus on the therapeutic relationship and on understanding how past experiences may be shaping the present.
My work is collaborative, flexible, and paced to feel safe and manageable, allowing therapy to be shaped around you and your needs.
How often should I come to therapy?
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer, as everyone’s needs are different. We can decide together what session frequency feels most supportive for you. I usually recommend weekly sessions to begin with, as this can help build continuity and momentum. Over time, sessions may become more or less frequent, and towards the end of therapy it’s common to move to fortnightly sessions.
Are you a member of any accrediting bodies?
Yes. I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
My membership number is 401890.
Do you work remotely or just face to face?
I offer both face-to-face and online therapy sessions. Online sessions take place via secure video platforms such as Microsoft Teams. I don’t offer therapy sessions by phone.
What is your fee?
My fixed fee is £65 per session.
