Kate Upshall

She/Her/They/Them

I work in person in Todmorden, West Yorkshire, and online via Zoom. Please be aware there are stairs up to my therapy room, and no lift unfortunately.

I provide a calm, comfortable and private therapy room. I also offer sessions on Zoom. I work in a creative way, and have a range of materials in the room that might interest you, including art materials, a sand tray, and a range of fidget objects. Gestalt is a collaborative, supportive and relational approach. Together we find a way of working that fits for you, and supports you to develop your awareness and make choices that align with your authentic self. Sessions are 60 minutes per week and can be short or long term.

About Me and How I Work

I work with adults online and in-person from a lovely room in Todmorden, West Yorkshire. Many of my clients are Autistic or AuDHD, or otherwise identify as neurodivergent. I bring my own experience as a late diagnosed Autistic person. Together we can explore whatever you want to bring, which might include making sense of a diagnosis or considering diagnosis, indentity, challenges in relationships, changes and transitions, masking and unmasking, burnout, anxiety or depression, grief. All genders and sexualities very welcome.
