A Space for you
Hello and welcome to Katy Robertson Therapy; a safe, non-judgmental and confidential space for adults and teens to explore feelings, help navigate difficult experiences, recognise and change unhealthy behaviours and grow in self confidence.
Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, lost, lonely, anxious, burnt out, not good enough, in grief or full of rage, I believe that every individual has the capacity to heal, and that with the right space to be honest, take risks and be truly heard without minimisation or judgement, people often discover they already know more about what they need than they realise. My aim is to offer a steady, compassionate and relational environment where you can explore what’s going on for you at your own pace and find a way to feel more 'OK'.
My Approach
Focusing on inner child work, understanding life scripts, identifying unmet emotional needs and patterns of behaviour and adaptive strategies to create lasting positive change.
​
The relationship built between therapist and client is the number one vehicle for effective change. It can help identify and support how a client is feeling, while providing a space to process and express stuck emotions. It can also help uncover patterns that may be playing out in relationships outside the therapy room, creating opportunities for changes that support greater happiness and wellbeing.
​
​My Integrative training means that I draw on a number of theories and therapeutic work and I am able to cater for the specific needs of each person. I include in my work modalities such as Psychodynamic theory, and humanistic approaches.
How it Works
Introductory Work
We start with an initial free of charge 30-minute call/zoom. This is a chance for us to better understand how it all works, and for me to learn about your goals and reasons for seeking therapy. We can decide whether we a re a good fit. No pressure to commit.
Assessment period
Adapting to the unique needs of every individual, ensuring therapy feels tailor-made for your journey, I will do a 3 week assessment period working with you to see where your focus lies, what key themes might be in the work and help create goals. We will then have a review and see whether the therapy will carry on.
Ongoing therapy
We will then have weekly (sometimes fortnightly) 50 minute sessions usually the same time each week. This can be short term or open ended. The work caters for what you need, at your pace. I ask that payment is made on the day or before. I have spaces in my Peckham rooms on a Tuesday evening and some ad hoc times on a Monday and Tuesday day time, and online.
"The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change."

Therapy for Adolescents & Parenting Support
Creative and Talking therapy for Teens
For teenagers, talking therapy offers a non-judgmental space to build resources and find ways out of distress. It is a place where their feelings can be deeply understood and they can be supported to feel more positive in themselves and their lives. I use art materials, sand tray and other creative resources when wanted and appropriate which provides a rich environment for distressing feelings to emerge safely.
​
I can help with among others things anxiety, low mood and depression, trauma, family conflict, school refusal, identity and understanding and celerating neurodiversity.
Art-based emotional expression
Safe teenager containment
The Parenting Journey
Becoming a parent is incredibly hard as well as a gift. I support parents in learning how to parent their actual children while also nurturing their own 'inner children' for long-lasting positive change.
​
I help parents to regulate their emotions so that they can help regulate their children's. We look at parenting styles and how to be with emotions rather than fixing, rescuing or shutting them down. Much harder than we think! I also help parents to fill their own cup and find ways of showing themselves that they matter too.
Family-wide responsibility
