Katherine Ward, MBACP, MA, BA (Hons) Sex Therapy, Couples Counselling & Individual Counselling
About Me
​
I have a masters in relationship therapy and a professional sex therapy certificate. I am a registered member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists. Both of these trainings took place through Relate. I also have a special interest in trauma, and how adverse experiences influence the way that we are in our intimate relationships.
​
My experience ranges from various clinical settings. I've worked volunteering in an inner city London school counselling adolescents. ​I am a registered baby bonding practitioner, and have an understanding of the mechanisms of early bonding and attachment.
I've also worked in the NHS; I was a district nurse visiting people in their own homes primarily carrying out palliative and terminal care. Throughout this, I supported couples and families as well as my patients. ​
​
I have a special interest in the unique impact of sex in different relationships. I know it can sometimes be an uncomfortable topic, but it is never a taboo in my counselling room. I work hard -but at your pace- to overcome any discomfort and support constructive and sometimes vital conversations around sexual intimacy.
I believe in creating a therapeutic environment where we can gently create a balance of acceptance and change in your life as well as your relationships.​​
