My name is Katie Lux, and I’m a 36 year old Hungarian British trainee counsellor and psychotherapist, currently completing an MSc in psychotherapy and counselling at the University of Derby.
Before entering the therapy profession, I ran my own businesses and lived and worked in London, where I also spent time volunteering with homeless charities. This gave me first hand experience working with individuals facing mental health challenges, addiction, trauma, loneliness, and displacement. It shaped my understanding of suffering and resilience far more than any textbook could.
I’ve been reading and exploring the human mind since my early twenties. I’ve always been drawn to the deeper questions, why we feel what we feel, why we repeat certain patterns, and how we can truly heal. Eventually, all roads led back to what I now know is my calling: to support others in finding clarity, meaning, and emotional freedom through therapy. But it’s more than that. It’s about recognising patterns that no longer serve you. It’s about gently exploring how past wounds or even current stressors. Which shape your emotions, relationships, and the way you move through life. Many of us carry invisible chains: beliefs, fears, or unresolved experiences that quietly hold us back. Therapy can be the space where those chains begin to loosen, where healing becomes possible, and you start to feel more grounded, more balanced, and more connected to the version of yourself you’ve always sensed was there.
As a therapist, my aim is to build strong relationships with my clients, drawing on a range of evidence-based approaches to support their individual journey and we work together, as equals, every step of the way. My approach draws from CBT, person-centred therapy, attachment theory, and includes mindfulness based and somatic techniques, as well as trauma informed practices.
I’m here to walk beside you, with empathy, honesty, care, and respect as you discover what healing looks like for you. I believe therapy is a space where we can make sense of the past, reconnect with ourselves, and begin to live more fully, more freely, and more consciously.
