About Us: Dr Kate Joseph

My experience

With over 20 years of experience as a clinical psychologist working with adults, I am dedicated to creating a nurturing environment for people to talk and listen. I have run a range of groups in the NHS and other counselling services and value the power of group members to support one another.

​

Working with mothers

Many of the mothers I meet feel stressed, tired, and lonely. Adapting to routines and responsibilities of caring for babies and children can feel overwhelming and can lead mothers to neglect their own needs and feelings.

​

The importance of compassion 

I specialise in an approach called Compassion Focused Therapy. The main idea is that to have the energy to care for others and juggle competing demands in life, it helps to be caring and compassionate to yourself.
