Katherine Drew
I’m Katherine, a BABCP‑accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (CBT) and an Accredited Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing Therapist (EMDR) with additional training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT). Alongside my psychological therapy work, I am also a Level 3 qualified Reflexologist, which allows me to offer an integrated approach that supports both emotional and physical wellbeing.
Over the years, I’ve seen the growing evidence—and experienced first‑hand—the powerful connection between our physical and mental health. This has shaped my commitment to providing holistic, individualised care that can include CBT, EMDR, ACT, CFT Reflexology, or a thoughtful combination of all. I value being able to offer clients a range of therapeutic options, recognising that each person’s needs, preferences, and journey are unique.
I have worked in mental health for more than 20 years across NHS and private settings, delivering both individual and group therapy. Before specialising in psychological therapies, I worked with children and young people in educational and advisory roles. These experiences have reinforced something I hold central to my practice: the importance of giving people the time and space to talk, to be heard, and to develop the insight that leads to meaningful and lasting change.
Both professionally and in my life at home with young children, I am passionate about developing practical, sustainable strategies that support physical health and psychological resilience. I understand the challenges of balancing work, family, and personal wellbeing, and I work collaboratively with clients to integrate these strategies into their everyday lives in a way that feels achievable and supportive.
My therapeutic style is warm, curious, and person‑centred. I approach each client with compassion and an appreciation for the individuality of their experiences. Whether we work together through CBT, EMDR, CFT, ACT, Reflexology, or a blended approach, my aim is to provide a safe, grounded, and empowering space for you to explore your wellbeing and move forward on your own unique path.

Katherine Drew: A REFLEXOLOGIST
I chose to train as a reflexologist so I could offer an alternative or additional treatment option for those experiencing symptoms of anxiety and depression, as well as individuals seeking relaxation, restorative time, or support with physical symptoms and lifestyle‑related difficulties. Reflexology provides a gentle yet powerful way to reconnect with the body, and I value being able to offer this alongside psychological therapy.
My reflexology journey began—and my passion truly ignited—when I received treatment to help induce labour with my first child. Eight hours later, she arrived following a straightforward, natural delivery. When I was ten days overdue with my second child and induction was approaching, I turned to reflexology again; she was born the next day after another quick and uncomplicated labour. These experiences opened my eyes to the remarkable ways our bodies respond to this treatment.
Through both giving and receiving reflexology, I continue to be amazed by how much our feet can reveal about physical imbalances and how effectively symptoms can be eased. I’ve seen the positive impact reflexology has had on my own and my children’s sleep, immune function, pain levels, and stress and worry.
As a reflexologist, my aim is to provide a tailored, calming, and balancing treatment that gives you—or your family members—the time and space to optimise and maintain both physical and psychological wellbeing. Reflexology offers a valuable opportunity to pause, step away from the demands of daily life, and experience deep relaxation. It is a gentle yet meaningful way to invest in your health and support yourself to function at your best.
Qualifications:
- Level 3 Reflexology Diploma
– Anatomy and Physiology
– Complementary Therapies
– Business - Further Training: Reflexology Treatments with deeper pressure
Professional Membership: Member of the Association of Reflexology (MAR)
