Kathryn Fox at Fox Therapy

It can be exceptionally tough to start looking for therapy, and I’m proud of you for doing so today.

My name is Kathryn Fox and I’m a person-centred psychotherapist working in Hartlepool, County Durham, as well as online. That means that my style of counselling is to keep your wants and needs at the centre of all of our sessions together – we will work as a team, and work together to get you where you want to be in life. If you are looking for somewhere to create meaning in your life, you are feeling lost or hopeless, or you are seeking emotional support, please get in touch.

As both a practicing therapist and as someone who has healed and grown in therapy myself, I know how it feels to be in both chairs in the therapy office. I have experience of many of life’s issues and have helped my clients through many more and, as such, I am ready to tackle any issues with you.

I achieved a BSc in Psychology in 2011, passing with a 2:1, and I passed my MSc in Person-Centred and Experiential Psychotherapy in 2018.

I have worked in various mental health jobs, in the NHS and in private services, since 2007. As a psychotherapist I have volunteered hundreds of hours since 2011 with various counselling charities, including the National Self-Harm Network, Derby Counselling Centre, Derby Women’s Centre, and Hull and East Riding Survivors.

I am BACP and UKCP registered, and I have full UKCP accreditation. I follow their ethical guidelines as a practitioner.

As we step into 2026 together, I’ve taken a moment to look back on some of the highlights at Fox Therapy in 2025.

Here are a few of my proudest moments from the past year!

I successfully renewed my accreditation with the UKCP, which confirms that I uphold the highest standards of training, experience, and ethical practice here in the UK.

I continued offering therapy sessions online, making it easier to work with LGBTQ+ clients from across the country. I also gave my therapy space a bit of a makeover to ensure it remains a warm and inviting place for every client who sees it.

2025 also saw the publication of my second book, ‘Queer Minds’, which I released under a pseudonym. It features some heartfelt interviews exploring queer experiences of mental wellness and neurodivergence, and I’m really happy to share these stories with the world. This also involved doing outreach work in the community to talk about queer mental health and the changes that need to happen in therapy spaces to support LGBTQ+ clients.

I remain deeply committed to tackling oppression, inequality, and colonialism, both in my practice and beyond. Advocating for social justice is a core part of my professional values, and I feel proud to contribute to this important work wherever I can.

Finally, Fox Therapy’s esteemed Employee of the Year, Minx, has received this recognition for the fifth year running. May her dedication to setting boundaries and openly expressing authentic emotions continue to be an inspiration to us all.

Here’s hoping that 2026 brings you everything you need!
