Katalin Zakocs
,MSc, BA, PgDipl
I started studying counseling and therapy techniques as well as psychology 20 years ago. I have obtained an MSc in psychology, a postgraduate diploma in person-centered and CBT counselling, a postgraduate diploma in drama education, and a BA in counselling and social studies. I have a friendly, non-judgemental attitude to others. People usually feel very comfortable opening up to me. I am happy to connect with anyone regardless of their cultural backgrounds. I have been educated in different types of evidence-based therapeutic methods (e.g. CBT and mindfulness techniques, autogenic training) and have practiced psychodrama and bibliodrama. I tailor my therapeutic approach to my client’s individual needs. I have a holistic approach to life and have also studied alternative methods such as yoga and breathing techniques that help manage stress. I look at all aspects of a person (physical condition, social connections, personal beliefs) in order to help improve their well-being. I feel it is important to approach life from all angles. I have worked in different mental health settings, and in multicultural environments to practice how to connect with people of diversity. Taking a holistic approach allows me to realize whether your spiritual beliefs are essential for your emotional well-being. I take your social background and spiritual beliefs into account when I put myself in your shoes to understand your mindset. Creativity plays a vital role in mental health and well-being. Encouraging clients to get engaged in creative tasks is my favorite method to help them experiment with new perspectives and behaviors.

"Helped me a lot, which I realized later"

"This CBT Course has been very helpful for me. I have done CBT before but this has worked for me.
I think the blend of the worksheets, the videos and the notes are really helpful. I took the on line feedback only from the therapist, I wanted this as I felt this was the best way I would respond (i.e. small feedback notes, rather than weekly sessions).
The challenge for me will be to keep this up, especially when things don't go the well, if this happens I'll re subscribe for a refresher."

"Katalin has been so helpful! She is direct to the point and she asks you questions that make you think deep about your actions in life. She is very understanding and I felt so comforted and seen by her. She gave wise advice. It’s up to me to follow them. I highly recommend her."

"This was the best choice for me, quick and convenient, having been through the mental health system in two countries, digitising and empowering the user for instant support has to be the future of these support sectors. Well done."

"I've only been utilizing the service for three weeks, but I already feel well-supported and understood, and I'm beginning to see some small improvements. The feature that allows me to communicate via messages in between sessions has been particularly beneficial for me. Additionally, the ease of determining which therapist truly suits my needs is a crucial aspect for me. The platform offers extensive options for those who wish to engage with the assessment forms available on the website. This allows for a more comprehensive self-examination and the opportunity to share these insights with the therapist, receive feedback, and access all information for future reference. Occasionally, I would like the ability to share a PDF file; as someone who paints frequently, I find it limiting that I am unable to share my artwork on the platform. Nonetheless, I have found the support I was seeking here overall."

"Taking things one week at a time. I look forward to my video sessions and I appreciate the opportunity to send messages in between. I am learning more about who I truly am and feel less alone now that I have someone to talk through my issues with. This is perfect for me because I work from home and it fits in with my schedule. I have already recommended this to a couple friends!"

"Kat is a great listener and an inventive therapist. She meets you where you are, and listens to where you want to go. She is non-judgmental but asks you to turn your own eye upon your actions and think about them systematically.
She also works very hard to help you. I would post thoughts rather frequently, and she always got back to me rapidly, and wrote at length in response to my questions and situations.
She truly excels in video counseling. I was very hesitant at first to not have a therapist in person, but in many ways, having her be in the UK while I was in the USA made therapy work BETTER. For one thing, it meant that I could schedule sessions at unusual times.
I cannot say enough about her creativity. If you have an artistic passion or hobby, or simply approach life with some creativity, she is amazing. She's also creative in problem solving your issues around productivity or family or life generally. She isn't a cookie cutter therapist who has one solution for everything. She suggests possible explanations, but doesn't remain wedded to them if the situation doesn't fit the explanation she proffers.
She has a charming accent that is vaguely Eastern European, so you may imagine at times that you are talking to Freud's great granddaughter.
She was also helpful on parenting issues.
All in all, one of the best therapists I've ever worked with."
