Helping you to live a fulfilled life
COUNSELLING AND THERAPY FOR INDIVIDUALS
Welcome, and thank you for visiting my website.
My name is Kathryn Hampton and I am a practising counsellor and psychotherapist with over 10 years of experience in supporting individual adults and couples. I know that taking the first steps to begin counselling and psychotherapy can feel daunting, which is why I offer a safe, warm and relaxed space for us to work together.
Counselling is a very individual process, and everything I do will be centred around you. We will go at your pace so I can make sure that your needs are met, in order to help you to enhance your life and enable you to live it more fully.
Ethics are at the core of my counselling practice and I am committed to providing counselling and psychotherapy in a safe, confidential and non-judgemental environment. I am a fully-insured member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and I adhere to their ethical framework.
My practice is in Leatherhead, which is easy to reach from Epsom, Reigate, Redhill and Dorking. If you would like to explore how working with a counsellor and psychotherapist could benefit you, please contact me.
Making the decision to see a counsellor is a big step to take - but it can be a positive one.
Please read on to find out more about how I could help you.

Please if you would like to see my COVID-19 policy in advance of booking.
MY HOLISTIC APPROACH TO COUNSELLING
I am experienced in helping individuals and couples with my holistic approach to counselling. This means that I approach therapy with no expectations and no set agenda. Instead, as your psychotherapist, I will take your lead and listen to your needs, so that we can work together towards the life that you want to lead.
COUPLES COUNSELLING
Couples choose to see a counsellor together for many reasons. It may be that something has happened to trigger the need for support, you may have reached a point of frustration where you are struggling to communicate, or perhaps you need to build up trust within your relationship. I can work with you and your partner to help you to communicate in a more productive way and help you to make the right choices for you in your relationship.
EATING DISORDERS
Living with an eating disorder is not a choice, it is an unconscious coping mechanism for dealing with feelings that are too painful or too difficult to handle. I have experience in supporting adults who need help to change their relationship with food. It is my job as a psychotherapist to help you to understand yourself and your unconscious behaviours, enabling you to grow and live a free and fulfilled life.
Talking therapy can work wonders. As a counsellor, I can support you with:
Stress
Anxiety
Trauma
Lack of confidence
Bereavement
Relationship difficulties
Couple counselling
Addiction
SPEAK IN CONFIDENCE
Counselling takes place in a safe space, where you can meet with someone who will listen with sensitivity and empathy - and without judgement. In the therapy space thoughts and feelings can be expressed freely and in confidence.
A PROBLEM SHARED...
Trouble with a relationship; anxiety or panic attacks; mood swings or depression - many people face difficulties in their everyday lives that can be hard to get on top of. Counselling gives us a set of tools we can use to help gain a better understanding of what’s causing these problems - and how you can move towards managing or resolving them.
MAKE BETTER, HEALTHIER NEW CHOICES
Working together I can help you gain greater insight into the difficulties you are facing, help you understand why you act or react to them the way you do, and see how you can start to make better, heathier choices moving forward.
ABOUT ME
Kathryn Hampton - Psychodynamic Psychotherapist
I am a psychodynamic psychotherapist with over 10 years of experience in helping individuals and couples. It is my goal as a counsellor to create the unique environment you need in order to support you in living a fulfilled life.
I have a holistic approach to counselling. This means that I will take your lead in our sessions and allow your abstract thoughts and feelings to come out, without any prescribed expectations. As your psychotherapist, I will tailor our time together to make sure that we meet your needs. Together, we will move at your pace toward the life that you want to lead.
I hold a DipHE in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy and Counselling from Greenwich University. I also have weekly supervision and regularly attend a variety of events to continue my professional development, and maintain a high standard of service and care in my therapy room.
I am a fully-insured member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

YOU MAY NOT KNOW IT, BUT YOU’VE ALREADY TAKEN THE FIRST STEP...
It can be scary and confusing making the decision to contact a counsellor or therapist, but in my experience people will struggle with a mental health issue, a personal crisis or problems with a relationship for much longer than is healthy. Sometimes a friend has proved a source of comfort, but this help can only go so far. Realising that resolving a problem requires something more means you have actually already taken the first step towards improving your life.
