Dr Kath Green - West Yorkshire-based Chartered Clinical Psychologist

Set on the banks of the river Wharfe, my therapy room has beautiful views of the river and fields beyond. The perfect place to relax and get a different perspective.

It is important that you find a therapist who is a ‘good fit’ given that a large part of therapeutic effectiveness is dependent on the relationship.  So here’s a bit about my background to help you decide if I am a ‘good fit’ for you.

My journey began in 1989 with my first degree in Psychology at the University of Liverpool. I then worked in general mental health for the next few.  Following this, I undertook my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology in 2001 at the University of Leeds and worked as a Clinical Psychologist in a Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service in Leeds after qualifying.  I left my post in 2010 to have my third child and take some time out with my family.  I began private work soon after, building up to 2-3 days as an associate at the Wharfedale Practice in Otley (together with occasional work in the NHS to cover vacant posts).  More recently, I have built a studio in my garden in Otley, West Yorkshire where I can meet with clients.
