Welcome — I'm Kathy Shaw, an integrative therapist and clinical supervisor registered with the BACP.
I offer a calm, supportive space where we can explore what’s going on beneath the surface and begin to make sense of the patterns that may be keeping you stuck.
My aim is to help you feel mentally lighter by addressing the root causes of your struggles — not just the symptoms. You don't have to struggle alone.
My approach is trauma-informed and depth-focused, creating a safe space where thoughts, emotions and patterns can be explored gently and with curiosity. Together we work to:
-
Reduce anxiety and overwhelm
-
Develop emotional resilience
-
Build a stronger sense of internal safety
-
Cultivate greater self-trust and self-understanding
Over time, this work helps many people feel calmer, clearer, and more connected to themselves.
I offer support to adults, teenagers and therapists, in Northwich and online.
The People I Work With
Many people I support appear to be coping well on the outside, yet inside feel anxious, overwhelmed or exhausted by constant overthinking.
You may experience:
• a busy or racing mind
• strong self-criticism
• recurring self-doubt
• people-pleasing or perfectionism
• feeling stuck in familiar patterns
• difficulty feeling calm or grounded
What Therapy Can Help With
Therapy offers space to slow down and explore your inner world with curiosity and compassion.
Over time many people notice:
• anxiety begins to soften
• their inner critic quietens
• they feel more grounded
• self-trust begins to grow
This work isn't about becoming someone different. It's about reconnecting with who you already are beneath the noise.
If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed or disconnected from yourself, you don't have to navigate it alone.
With the right support it becomes possible to feel calmer, more confident and more connected to yourself.
Many clients begin therapy feeling stuck, overwhelmed or disconnected to themselves.
Here's what some of them have shared after working with me.
