Kate Upshall Neuro-Affirmative Gestalt Psychotherapy

Hello, I’m Kate Upshall, a UKCP Accredited Gestalt Psychotherapist and Relational Supervisor based in Todmorden, West Yorkshire.
I am passionate about the benefits of Gestalt therapy, and its potential to support us all to live an authentic, satisfying life. I have been practising therapy since August 2016, and opened my private practice in January 2018.
I have a background in mental health and wellbeing roles within the voluntary sector, including a national homelessness charity, and a charity for adults with acquired brain injury. I’m also a qualified and experienced Art and Design teacher. If you would like to use art materials in your sessions I would enjoy incorporating them. Gestalt is a flexible and creative therapy, and together we can find methods and materials that work for you.
I aim to offer a neurodivergent affirming therapeutic space. This includes providing a range of stim/fidget objects and other sensory items. I welcome you bringing anything to sessions that will help you feel more comfortable. I have personal experience of being diagnosed ADHD and Autistic in later life.
I completed my core training at the Edinburgh Gestalt Institute. I’m a member of the Gestalt Psychotherapy Training Institute and UKCP, and subscribe to their codes of ethics.
I work with individuals over the age of 18.
