About Katja

Katja Brodt de Sousa is a BACP accredited and registered counsellor and psychotherapist working in private practice in London and the United Kingdom. She also practices as a Heart IQ coach, helping people uncover and work through patterns that get in the way of close relationships and a stronger sense of self. Katja brings 18 years of clinical experience to her work, specialising in areas such as depression, anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties including infidelity, and support through divorce and separation.

Her approach focuses on helping clients recognise the inner blocks that fuel self-sabotaging thoughts and behaviour, and on building greater self-acceptance to reduce shame and self-doubt. She tailors therapeutic methods to each person, drawing on evidence-based tools such as cognitive behavioural techniques and client-centred principles to suit individual needs and goals. As a BACP member Katja is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, the national professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists.

In session she aims to create a supportive environment where people can explore attachment patterns, intimacy concerns, self-esteem issues and life transitions. Katja works collaboratively with clients to identify practical strategies and deeper emotional work, helping them to reconnect with themselves and improve relationships with others.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Katja commonly draws on cognitive behavioural therapy and client-centred approaches to help clients understand and change unhelpful patterns. Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on identifying and adjusting negative thought patterns and behaviours, which can be useful for anxiety, stress and low mood. Client-centred therapy emphasises empathy and acceptance, creating space for a person to explore self-esteem, relationship issues and emotional needs at their own pace. She also uses attachment-based ideas to explore how early relationships influence current intimacy and trust issues, which can be especially helpful for relationship difficulties and attachment concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Katja works collaboratively with clients to decide what feels most helpful. Registered professionals and therapists may adapt methods over time, combining practical strategies with deeper emotional work to match each person’s goals and preferences.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility, with options for video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, to maintain continuity during transitions, and to connect with a therapist from different locations while still receiving structured, evidence-informed support.
