Katie Holland

Professional Profile

My name is Katie and I am a fully qualified and BABCP accredited Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist working with Think CBT in Ely, Cambridgeshire.  

I have supported people with their emotional well-being since graduating in Psychology in 2002.

I lived and worked in Australia for an extended period before coming back to the UK where I trained as a CBT Therapist in the NHS. I currently work part time for NHS Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Foundation Trust and I have a small private practice which includes referrals from Queens College, Cambridge University where I previously worked in the University Counselling Service. 

I have a certificate in counselling which influences my therapeutic approach and style as a CBT therapist.

I like to give my clients the space they need to make sense of what they are thinking and feeling, and apply CBT gently and flexibly. I am currently using a Cognitive Therapy called Method of Levels which allows people to find their own solutions to their problems. If we work together, I will offer this as an alternative to traditional CBT. 

I sometimes incorporate '3rd wave' CBT therapies such as Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) into my work as needed and have a particular interest in helping people with sleep difficulties and have been trained in CBT for Insomnia (CBT-I). I have previously run NHS groups for people with Insomnia.

If you decide you would like us to work together, I will support you every step of the way, encouraging you to try new ways of doing things and aim to help you improve your emotional wellbeing. 

It's a huge step starting therapy. If it's your first time or the first time with someone new, you may have lots of questions, worries or doubts. I am happy to answer these questions. I want to assure you of a warm, professional and friendly welcome, where we will go at your pace and where you are at the centre of the work we decide to do together.   Looking forward to meeting you.
