Navigating Life's Challenges with Compassion and Understanding
Welcome to Kate Rigden Counselling
Life can feel overwhelming when you're being pulled in different directions by anxiety, stress, or difficult relationships. Perhaps you're wondering "Is this it?" or feeling lost about your next steps. If you're ready to let go of what's holding you back and find more peace within yourself, I'm here to walk alongside you in a safe, gentle space where you can explore your feelings at your own pace.
I'm Kate Rigden, a BACP registered integrative counsellor offering compassionate support to individual adults navigating life's challenges. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma, or feeling overwhelmed by everyday pressures, I'm here to help you find clarity and renewed strength.
I offer both short-term and long-term therapy through face-to-face sessions in Stowmarket and Ipswich, plus secure online counselling. Working with adults of all ages, I support those facing life transitions, work stress, bereavement, addiction issues, and trauma recovery.
As a relational integrative counsellor, I adapt therapeutic approaches to meet your individual needs. My hope is that our sessions will leave you feeling refreshed and with more clarity about your difficulties.

Issues I Can Help With
Life brings many challenges that can leave us feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck. I work with adults facing a wide range of everyday concerns, including anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, work-related stress, and major life transitions. Whether you're dealing with loss and bereavement, struggling with self-esteem, or simply feeling that life has become unmanageable, counselling can provide the support and clarity you need.
I also have experience supporting people through more complex issues, including trauma, various forms of abuse (emotional, physical, domestic), addiction and substance misuse, chronic illness and health anxieties, family conflicts, and the challenges of caring for others. My background includes volunteer work with those affected by addiction and abuse, and extensive experience supporting vulnerable adults through the health and social care system.
Navigate Life's Uncertainties
When you're feeling pulled in different directions or disturbed by anxiety and depression, counselling offers a safe space to explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace. Through our therapeutic relationship, you can gain a fresh perspective on your difficulties and discover new ways of coping with life's pressures.
Transform Pain into Growth
As a relational integrative counsellor, I work with you to facilitate healing and wholeness, taking into account your individual circumstances. Using various therapeutic approaches, we'll explore what's holding you back and help you let go of difficult aspects of your life to find greater peace and wellbeing.
Reconnect with Your Inner Strength
I'm passionate about helping people to value and believe in themselves again. In our non-judgemental space, you can focus more on yourself, rebuild your self-esteem, and develop a sense of being at home with yourself and at ease with others. This could be the beginning of a life-changing journey.
Contact Me
Thank you for taking the time to reach out and consider counselling as a way to support yourself through life's challenges. I understand that making this first contact can feel daunting, and I'm here to help make the process as comfortable as possible for you. I'm available for a brief initial telephone discussion or online meeting to explore whether we might work well together and answer any questions you may have about counselling.
I'll get back to you by email or phone to arrange your initial consultation. If you're going through a difficult time right now, I know it can feel hard to take this step, but reaching out today could be the start of something really positive for you.
