Katalin Zakocs
,MSc, BA, PgDipl
I began studying counselling, therapeutic techniques, and psychology over 20 years ago. I hold an MSc in Psychology, a Postgraduate Diploma in Person-Centred and CBT Counselling, a Postgraduate Diploma in Drama Education, and a BA in Counselling and Social Studies.
I have a friendly, non-judgemental approach, and people usually feel comfortable opening up to me. I am happy to work with individuals from all cultural backgrounds.
I have trained in a range of evidence-based therapeutic approaches, including CBT, mindfulness techniques, and autogenic training, as well as transactional analysis, psychodrama, and psychodynamic therapy. I tailor my therapeutic approach to each client's individual needs.
I take a holistic approach to well-being and have also studied complementary practices such as yoga and breathing techniques that can help manage stress. I consider all aspects of a person's life, including their physical health, social connections, and personal beliefs, to support their overall well-being. I believe it is important to view life from multiple perspectives.
I have worked in a variety of mental health settings and multicultural environments, which has strengthened my ability to connect with people from diverse backgrounds. This holistic perspective helps me understand whether spiritual beliefs play an important role in a client's emotional well-being. I take each person's social background and spiritual beliefs into account when seeking to understand their experiences and perspectives.
Creativity plays a vital role in mental health and well-being. Encouraging clients to engage in creative activities is one of my favourite ways to help them explore new perspectives, develop self-awareness, and experiment with new behaviours.

"It was a bit bumpy with the first pairing but they were honest in that we were not compatible. Then Katalin took over and it was great. Working together, listening, being pushed, challenged (really key) was amazing. Im grateful"

"I am deeply grateful for my sessions with Kat. She is wise, perceptive, and a nonjudgemental listener. Our conversations are helping me to improve my inner life, navigate my outer circumstances, and her insights give me a lot to consider throughout the week. I feel supported, more resilient, and more hopeful as a result of our sessions. If you are looking for a mental health ally, I highly recommend Kat."

"I have been working with Kat for some time now and am grateful for her. Highly recommend her as a therapist. She knows what she is talking about and listens to her client. Also, very flexible with tools to help and patient. It do not feel like just a number."

"Our first therapist was really good but left the site after a couple of sessions. We got the money refunded for it and are now trying again, so far it was a good experience."

"I have used Online-Therapy like a 'drop in' occasional service, usually for a month or so at a time. I have just used the messaging (cheap) plan and I honestly found it pretty helpful. I find set video or in person sessions quite stressful and a pressure to relax and be open. Messaging works well for me as you have time to go off and think about each reply. I'd say if you are struggling why not give it a try? Not too much money for one month."

"I would like to talk about the good. I really didn't care for the first therapist. I met with her twice. Like many, I was worried about getting a good one, and more worried about switching if I had to. I didn't have any choice in the first one. She was just assigned to me. But switching was painless and far easier than I thought. I didn't need to explain or anything. You just hit a button to switch and then I had about a dozen choices. I enjoy my second therapist much better.
The CBT part of the website. I am not sure how I feel about it. I wanted to try guided CBT and this website does a good job. I one face to face therapist before trying this website and she also wasn't very good. But the way she introduced and did CBT with me also wasn't good. This website does a great job of breaking it down with video and worksheets. I am about 70% done with video and worksheets and the early stuff helped me realize some problem areas, but some of the later work sheets just aren't clicking with me. I don't know. Maybe my issues are too complex. Or one week one thing is bothering me, a couple weeks later its something else. If I had a singular issue I could see CBT working better for me, but my self talk and automatic negative thoughts have not been consistent through out this trouble period of my life. I am not saying it hasn't been helpful, it has.
Either way, I see the CBT as kinda a bonus and not the main reason I signed up. I live overseas and English speaking therapists are extremely hard to find or EXTREMELY expensive. So the main reason I joined was be able to have access to a live therapist that speaks English. I am happy with how this website handles that and far cheaper for than local therapists."

"Within only a few weeks, i had obtained a mental toolset that has enabled me to manage myself in ways that have been life changing so far, fantastic for anyone who is more focused on the solution and not the reason for a problem"

"I was paired with a wonderful therapist who helps guiding me through my struggles with so much respect and care. Being able to text her and have two sessions per week is truly helpful and relieving. Would 10/10 always recommend!"

"I was skeptical of these services. Not in person? Not covered by insurance? However, after a couple of tries, I was able to find a therapist that I aligned with. I also applied for financial aid and even reimbursement from my health insurance."
