About Katja
BACP counsellor and psychotherapist with 18 years' experience. Katja Brodt de Sousa works in the United Kingdom and offers therapy in English and German. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and other concerns such as addictions, grief and career strain.
Katja helps people notice patterns that cause pain or get in the way of close connection. She talks through thoughts and behaviours that keep someone stuck and supports clearer decisions about relationships and life changes. Sessions make space for losses, family-of-origin problems, abandonment worries and attachment issues that often lie beneath anger, low self-esteem or feeling empty.
Her approach draws on attachment-based work, client-centred practice and cognitive behavioural techniques, with elements of existential thinking and mindfulness. That mix is used to suit what someone brings to a session rather than follow a single method. Practical tools and reflective conversation are both part of her sessions.
Clients can expect a direct focus on current difficulties alongside attention to how past patterns repeat. She also addresses specific concerns such as sleeping problems, compulsive behaviours, compassion fatigue and aspects of bipolar or ADHD when they affect day-to-day functioning. The work includes looking at boundaries, commitment and control issues, and managing the strain of caring roles.
Katja's practice uses a subscription-based fee model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, select the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How attachment, client-centred and CBT ideas work online
Attachment-based work looks at patterns in relationships and early bonds. Online sessions use conversation to identify those patterns and how they affect current relationships and trust. Client-centred therapy focuses on the client's perspective and experience; the therapist listens, reflects and follows what matters most to the person in the room. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is practical and task‑oriented, helping people test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviours between sessions.Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, try different techniques and adjust the method based on what helps. People often combine reflective exploration with practical CBT tasks and mindfulness exercises to address both feeling and behaviour.
The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer to use audio rather than video or who want to schedule sessions across different time zones. Registered or accredited professionals can explain which session types they offer when you arrange your first appointment.
