Long-Term inactive. This profile is for record of my work and impact only.
Hello there :).
I'm Katie, glad to meet you!
-💙 I greatly value feedback, please consider leaving a review so I can reflect on our experience💙-
Please read through my profile before reaching out to me.
⬇️
Availability:
I was consistently available from 6pm - 10pm BST, Tuesday to Friday each week, for four years with occasional weeks off!
Though, my availability is additionally signified by the markers in my profile [Green= I am active and in a position to provide support so please reach out to me! Orange= I am online but may be working on other areas of the site meaning I am not exclusively active. Red= I am not online and am not in a position to provide support at the moment].
Expectations of chats and my role within them:
As an active listener I take pride in my role of providing support, through maintaining a structure within chats and upholding standards within my therapeutic relationships formed within them.
* As such chats are structured to last between 30 minutes and 2 hours with me.
* Experiences can be held as a single interaction, inconsistent sessions, or scheduled sessions!
Within chats I will take an active role and will exclusively focus on you.
* My listening style reflects this!:
* I take a person-centred approach to listening, tying in aspects of other therapeutical models to best support everyone. This means that I take a non-judgemental and supportive approach to communicating, so will aim to empower you to be able to help yourself process your emotions and experiences through our conversations.
* Due to this I, unfortunately, do not take casual conversations :)
Compatibility/ experiences:
Thank you for considering me to support you :)
In finding a listener it is helpful to seek someone who can provide an insight into your own experiences and outlook, by sharing similar experiences and mindsets.
As such I would like to share some of my experiences to inform your decision.
Many of my experiences fall into these categories :
-Depression
-Anxiety
-Family stress
-relationship stress
-self-esteem
-C-PTSD
Though the majority of my experiences fall into those areas they are not limited to the scope of them. I am capable of talking about almost every topic, applying those experiences and lessons to better understand you. As your situation is completely unique I appreciate every chat is a new experience, I'd be very glad to listen to you vent, provide support or simply keep a conversation☺️.
It is worth noting during our conversations, though I will try to listen to all experiences, I am not confident in handling some topics so will not take chats with the main focus on them. As such if your topics fall under these (listed) I would recommend searching for another listener who may be better able to respond to your specific needs:
-Disordered eating
-Drug addiction
-Alcohol addiction
-Sexual health problems

Some loving reminders ( ˘ ³˘)♥
-♡ You deserve respect and care, feeling alone or hurt can is a painful thing, regardless of where you are in life you deserve respect and appreciation.
-♡ You are capable and wonderful, insecurity and experiences can make you forget what you're truly able to do. Recognise your abilities :)
-♡ You deserve great things. Don't let negative thoughts or people overwhelm you, it can be difficult to believe but you deserve a lot from this life.
-♡ You can get better! sometimes when you've felt down or hurt for so long it feels like recovery is impossible. But healing is completely possible, and so many people are here for you
-♡ Take care of yourself
