Katie Merritt

Integrative Psychotherapist

Therapy has the capacity to be deeply transformative. Understanding and healing the things we carry can be liberating and life-changing, opening space for greater freedom, authenticity, and connection with yourself and in relationships. I'm an integrative psychotherapist because one size does not fit all. Drawing on different modalities helps me shape the work around you, offering a nonjudgemental, attuned space where your thoughts, feelings, and experiences can be explored safely and on your terms. I am a registered member of the BACP and hold a PGDip (Level 7) in Psychotherapy and Counselling with Distinction, with GSRD-accredited training. My practice is queer-affirming, kink-positive, and anti-oppressive, which means I welcome the complexity of identity, culture, and relationship diversity, and I stay mindful of the wider systems that shape our lives while remaining closely attuned to your individual experience. My practice is rooted in community. I co-founded Queer Spaces, and I carry that commitment to belonging and visibility into the therapy room. You might be coming to therapy for the first time, or returning after an experience where you felt misunderstood or had to explain yourself. You might be navigating identity, relationships, desire, or a sense of not quite fitting the roles you've been handed. All of that is welcome here. I believe the relationship between us is where much of the work happens. We'll go at a pace that feels right for you, and the first introductory 15 minute session is simply a chance to talk, ask questions, and see whether we're a good fit. You don't need to explain or justify who you are here. We start from where you are, bringing curiosity, depth, and gentle honesty to a collaborative space, noticing what's shifting and beginning to live with greater ease and meaning.
