About Me

I’m Kate McCrum. I trained in Gestalt counselling at the Gestalt Centre in London. Before becoming a counsellor, I worked as a nurse and spent many years as an interior designer. Those experiences have shaped my attention to the body, to relationships and to the places in which our lives unfold.

My path into counselling hasn't been entirely conventional. I began my career as a nurse before moving into the creative world, spending more than twenty years working as an interior designer and teaching design. Along the way, I've become increasingly interested in the relationship between our emotional lives, our bodies, our relationships and the environments we inhabit.

I'm curious about how we see things, the meanings we give to our experiences and what happens when we're able to look at something from a different perspective. I bring creative curiosity into my counselling work, alongside warmth, openness and a genuine interest in people.

I trained at the Gestalt Centre in London, and my practice is inclusive and LGBTQIA+ affirming. As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community myself, I value difference, diversity individuality and the many ways we experience identity and belonging.
