Katherine Killick

We are an experienced psychotherapy practice, serving the areas of Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire, Milton Keynes, Northamptonshire, and surrounding regions. Our practice is situated in the beautiful Greensand Ridge, on the borders of Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire, and is easily accessible from Junctions 12 and 13 of the M1, and the A5.

Our Approach

Our work begins with an assessment, which enables us to think with a potential client about his or her inner and outer circumstances. This process allows us to determine the most appropriate way forward, which may lead to a decision not to engage in therapy at this time, or it may lead to a referral to a different form of therapy. We provide a safe and confidential space for clients to work through a range of issues, including:

• Bereavement and loss
• Recurrent difficulties in relationships
• Identity problems
• Anxiety and depression
• Low self-esteem
• Borderline personality disorder
• Narcissistic personality disorder
• Eating disorders
• Abuse (both perpetrators and victims)
• Self-harm
• Trauma
• Psychosis

Our Services

• Assessments for Psychotherapy and Jungian Psychoanalysis
• Psychotherapy and Jungian Psychoanalysis
• Supervision

Our Therapist

Our therapist, Katherine Killick, practices psychoanalytic psychotherapy and Jungian psychoanalysis with individual adults. She is registered with the British Psychoanalytic Council and has extensive experience working with adults in individual therapy. Katherine began her professional life as an art therapist and has been involved in the training and continuing professional development of practitioners in that field. She has worked in the adult mental health services within the NHS for over 15 years, developing specialised expertise in working with individuals with severe mental health problems.

Katherine undertook further training in Jungian psychoanalysis with the Society of Analytical Psychology, qualifying as an analyst in 1998 and earning the status of Training Analyst in 2004. She has also earned the status of Training and Supervising Analyst at the British Jungian Analytic Association. Katherine teaches theoretical seminars at both of these organisations and at the West Midlands Institute of Psychotherapy on the specialised subject of working analytically with people in borderline psychotic and psychotic states of mind. She has undertaken some training in the field of systemic family therapy and has completed a training as a facilitator of systemic family constellations.

Our Additional Services

In addition to our psychotherapy services, Katherine works for the Clergy Counselling Scheme provided by the Diocese of St Albans, which was set up to provide a confidential psychotherapeutic service to the clergy and others involved in Christian ministry within the Diocese. Katherine is experienced at working as a member of a multidisciplinary clinical team, which helps her to assess relevant contextual issues and the appropriateness of referring on to other agencies. She often works with patients who are in couple psychotherapy, family therapy, and some other forms of treatment alongside their individual psychotherapy or analysis.
