You. Are. Enough.

​

You have always been enough. That’s my core belief in people and forms the basis of my work. All too often, we find ourselves in the new role of being a mother and what we thought was going to be a joyful, easy ride might have turned out differently to what we had expected. This is probably why you are here. And I am here for you. And for all of you.

​Who I am 

Hi, I'm Katalin. My passion for wanting to support mums was borne out of my own difficult journey into motherhood.

 

A challenging pregnancy and a traumatic birth followed by severe postnatal depression and PTSD fuelled my drive to working with mums to make their journeys more manageable and enjoyable. Having worked hard on recovering from this difficult start to motherhood, I went on to train as a counsellor at the University of Edinburgh (MSc) and  Chrysalis (Postgraduate Diploma). I have completed numerous trainings on trauma - specifically birth trauma and continue to participate in CPDs to inform my practice as a perinatal mental health counsellor.

Thought Based Approach

​

I’m trained in the psychodynamic and person-centred approach as well as the integrative approach, which means that I have a vast tool kit to chose from to support my clients, enabling me to suit their very individual needs for therapy and support. 

​

The birth of a child can often trigger memories from our own childhood and how we may have experienced it. I am here for my clients to explore all feelings and all feelings are acceptable in the space I offer. The good and the more difficult ones. I am here for my clients - and for everything they bring.

KIND WORDS

I was in a very dark place when my baby was born. I didn't enjoy the time with him and felt so much shame and guilt for not being a perfect mum. It took a while to admit that I needed help as I felt I could and needed to do it all by myself. 

​

Counselling with Katalin has proven to be invaluable for my journey to getting better and it`s thanks to the work I was able to do with her that I can now enjoy this new life as a mum. I know I don`t have to be perfect and it's been such a freeing learning curve to shake off all the expectations of what I should be as a mother and woman."
