Kate Roper Counselling
Professional Adult Counselling Service
Starting therapy can be the first step in overcoming life's challenges; it is an opportunity for gaining greater clarity, evoking positive change, and living a happier, more fulfilling life.
I understand how daunting the prospect of asking for help can be, so I offer a relaxed counselling experience, working in a style and at a pace that feels comfortable for you, whether that is dealing with a present issue, finding coping strategies, or exploring past experiences that are still negatively impacting you.
​Finding the right therapist is key to a positive and effective experience, so please take a look around the site, or get in touch to learn more about me and my practice.
Words of Inspiration

we can only help them discover it within themselves

About Me
Welcome to my therapy practice. As a fully qualified therapist and Registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), I am committed to providing ethical support tailored to you, the client. You are at the core of the process; I will follow your lead, working at a pace that feels comfortable for you, and together we will find the most suitable style of counselling to address your concerns. Whilst my practice has a strong foundation in person-centred counselling, I am dedicated to ongoing training and professional development, allowing me to draw from a diverse range of approaches, ensuring that you receive the best possible support for your unique circumstance. I offer face to face sessions in the heart of Barnsley (just 2minutes from the Interchange), or online/telephone sessions, and have both daytime and evening availability.

What to Expect
After an initial telephone consultation (approx. 10 minutes), we will work together to agree on the best path forward for you as an individual
​
Before our first session, I will send you a contract, brief questionnaire and any additional policies that you have requested
​
Upon return of these documents, we will arrange our first session, where I can answer any questions or discuss any concerns you may have
​
It is important to remember that therapy can be challenging and emotionally draining, therefore we recommend giving yourself time after your sessions to process before returning to work, family etc.
