      <image:caption>What happens next? If you would like to arrange an initial consultation, please phone or email me so we can discuss your needs. I offer a choice of brief therapy (usually 6–18 sessions) for specific issues, or longer-term therapy for deeper exploration of underlying patterns and emotional difficulties. I offer a confidential, safe, supportive and non-judgemental environment in which to work, and I meet your experience with care, respect and integrity. I am an accredited UKCP member, and I adhere to the UKCP code of ethics.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Hello, I’m Kate Merrick, a qualified psychotherapist, specialising in the areas of anxiety, low self-esteem and the healing of soul wounds. My experience as a woman of dual heritage shapes my interests in working with issues of trauma, culture, ancestral legacies, female identity and women’s health - this includes associated experiences of shame, guilt, anger, intergenerational trauma, feeling disempowered and loss of identity/voice. Having trained for 5 years at the Gestalt Centre London, I obtained a Post Graduate Diploma and Masters Degree (2012) in both individual and group psychotherapy. I have since obtained a Certificate in Intuitive Healing with The Healing Trust (2015) and a Certificate in Biodynamic massage (2020), with the Cambridge Body Psychotherapy Centre. I now offer counselling, Biodynamic massage, and therapy in West London.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Are you frequently hijacked by a punitive inner critic? Do you feel like you’re flatlining - sleepwalking through your days feeling empty, lost, overwhelmed and disconnected? Over the years, I have worked with many hundreds of women who have experienced life in a similar way. I know these states intimately, having walked my own heroine’s journey of healing, integration and transformation. What is possible Now, it is my intention to support you in transforming your experience and beginning to delight in yourself once again. Together we work towards more ease, confidence, spirit, deepened intuition, presence and self-belief, so you can begin to feel more grounded and centered, at home within your body, yourself and your own life. With love, Kate</image:caption>
