“When I first reached out to Kate, I had been struggling with lots of things that had built up over time - such as frustration and anger, stress and anxiety... Sometimes my reactions to seemingly benign things seemed to be amplified, and I didn't know why. Not knowing why I have certain emotions was causing me even more frustration and was really impacting on my confidence and relationships.
Working with Kate has been wonderful. Through a range of techniques, she helped me to 'unravel' why I carry these emotions, and unpack old memories, working through them so that they are no longer triggering or holding me back. Kate also taught me valuable techniques to cope in acutely stressful situations.
I now feel better than ever, and have much more confidence and self-awareness to move forward. I'm very grateful to Kate for her kindness, skills, and help.”

“I found Dr Kate Rose, by chance, at the bottom of a list of specialists at the back of a book about neuroplastic pain, when I was at my lowest ebb. I had spent the past twelve months in increasing pain – pain that the NHS couldn’t properly diagnose or treat. I hadn’t slept through the night for as long as I could remember and was in a spiral of pain, tiredness and depression.
Kate was quickly able to expertly identify potential sources of my pain, helping me to manage myself in the process. We embarked on a process of self-discovery – and what I had mistakenly thought was physical pain was, it turned out, more about my distant past and my inability to process or even think about bad experiences.
Thanks to the work Kate and I undertook, I am now entirely without pain. Better than that, I have started a new journey where I can think about my adverse childhood and adolescent experiences – something that I haven’t been able to do in the 50+ years I’ve been alive. I’m able to look back at my past and learn from my experiences, and use them to shape my future.
It’s very difficult to put into words how liberated I feel because of the care I’ve received from Kate. It’s no overstatement to call it life altering.
I now look forward to a life not lived through the lens of fear and pain. I can better process day-to-day challenges and am a better person to be around.
Thank you Kate.”

“Working with Kate has liberated me from decades of old thinking patterns. I’ve experienced very good talking therapy before, but this was something else again - the work Kate and I did together enabled me to clear out the skeletons in the closet of my mind thoroughly but gently. Kate has an excellent manner and right from the start of our work together I felt able to share difficult material with her without fear of judgement. She was kind, practical, empathic, professional and most importantly, effective. Since ending therapy I have noticed a marked difference in the way I think, and am considerably better skilled at managing my mental processes in a positive way. I recommend her whole-heartedly.”

“When I began my PRT sessions with Dr. Kate Rose, I was living with severely restricted mobility due to chronic back pain. I had worked with numerous spine specialists, physiotherapists, osteopaths and therapists to help me understand how best to ease my pain. None could offer me the help I needed, and over time my pain not only persisted, but grew more insistent and debilitating. Years after leaving my job due to injury, I was resigned to living in pain and with a limited range of movement. After being cajoled into reading a copy of Alan Gordon’s ‘The Way Out’, my interest in PRT and neuropathic pain was piqued and I contacted Dr. Kate Rose.
My experience with Kate’s PRT approach has been transformative. My approach to the sensation of chronic pain has changed entirely and in direct relation to this, the frequency and severity of my pain has reduced significantly. Like most worthwhile therapies, this method is not an instant fix-all, and Kate's process requires work on the part of the service user. In my case, some mental graft felt like a small price to pay for what I have reclaimed - my mobility, my employability, and most importantly, my self-confidence.
I would recommend Dr. Kate Rose to absolutely anybody suffering with chronic pain. Recovery is not a myth, a normal life is not unobtainable, and with Dr. Rose and PRT there should still be hope for a future with a level of pain that is either manageable or no longer present.”

“Throughout the time I have worked with Kate she was unfailingly kind and supportive. She gave me hope and the confidence that I would overcome my difficulties when I struggled to believe this. She helped me to make sense of what I was experiencing and, through the use of EMDR, some beliefs about myself that I had held onto for many years changed in ways that I would not have believed possible. I have no hesitation at all in recommending Kate, she is a highly skilled and compassionate therapist.”
