Psychotherapy

Kate Raines is a trained and qualified psychotherapist who has assisted many individuals to bring about change, awareness and resolution in problematic areas of their lives.

Her work is based on helping adults who are experiencing repeated patterns of difficulty; including feelings of anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, emotional eating and weight struggles. The psychodynamic way in which she works helps you to explore and understand the patterns in your behaviour and what keeps you in these repeated experiences. Through the work of talking and thinking together, you can heal and resolve your feelings and move forward in living a better life.

Her theoretical thinking is influenced by the psychoanalytic theories of Freud, Klein, Bion, Winnicott and self-psychology teachings of Kohut. She believes in the value of thinking about how our early attachments connect to the patterns of difficulty we might experience in the present. Developing a unique trust in the exploration and thinking space of the therapeutic relationship allows for you to build resilience and cohesion, and have a sense of confidence in life.

Kate completed a five year Graduate Diploma in Somatic Psychotherapy and three years of post graduate studies in Psychotherapeutic Touch and Somatic Process. She specialises in working with clients regarding emotional eating patterns and how these are connected to early patterns of emotional life. Understanding our behaviour patterns allows us to make change more consciously when connected to our emotional, mental and physical self.
