Who is Katie Alexander?
Katie works as a relationship therapist and her website states that she ‘takes a holistic approach to counselling’.
She offers face-to-face, telephone and online therapy services, priced from £45 for a 50 minute session.
The site also states: ‘I work with a person-centered modality and use a holistic approach to guidance, with the emphasis on you, the client. This means you have the voice and space to express yourself fully, without judgement.
‘My belief is that you, the client, are able and have the power to achieve what you want in life. My job is to help you understand what can sometimes be difficult to do alone.”
An anonymous review also praises Kate’s services, saying: ‘Katie made me feel so comfortable during the sessions, talking to her without judgment and allowing me to see certain things in a completely different light.
‘My confidence has grown enormously and I would highly recommend Katie, especially to anyone who isn’t sure if therapy is right for them.’
However, Katie also has a nice site, where her personal Instagram bio provocatively reads: “Kitchen dancer with a soul too glamorous to care.”
She also has an Instagram account dedicated to her love of photography. The bio reads: ‘Just a photography-loving Yorkshire girl taking some pictures!’
Katie is also divorced and a mother of three children.

How did the couple meet?
The pair reportedly met several years ago but have built a close friendship in recent years.
They originally connected over Twitter after they were both involved with a mental health charity.
Katie replied to a message and it sparked a conversation between the pair.
Katie was recently spotted visiting Eamonn at his rented apartment in South West London after he moved to Surrey from her home in Yorkshire with Ruth.
What is her relationship with Eammon?
Friends have told MailOnline that she and Eamonn are so close that she is ‘in love’ with him.
The divorcee and mother of three has become close to the star after a ‘series of outings’ together and has reportedly said she is ‘in it for the long haul’.
A source previously told The Mirror: ‘She is helping Eamonn through the tough times but doesn’t want to be seen as a marriage wrecker.
‘The friendship has grown over the last few months, but Eamonn’s marriage has been over for some time.’
The publication claims that Eamonn took her on a safari park trip, to a Manchester United match, a Beyoncé concert and spoiled her with presents.
He has also supported a charity related to her work and helped organize a fundraising event for free.
Friends explained that the woman’s counseling skills include dealing with “feeling sad” and “separation and divorce.” Therefore, it seems fitting that she will support Eamonn during this time of uncertainty.
While it is not said that his friendship with Katie is a reason for the marriage to break up, it is clear that Ruth did not know her until recently and has decided to take time off from work.
Does she know Ruth?
Although his friendship with Katie would not be a reason for the marriage to break up, it is clear that Ruth did not know her until recently and has decided to take time off from work.
A source said The sun: ‘Ruth was clearly aware that her marriage was crumbling, but as details come to light, her anger has turned to rage.
‘Eamonn’s friend is impressed by his attention and kindness.’
A friend then told The Mirror: ‘Ruth was hurt when she heard about Eamonn’s friendship with another woman, but she is strong and she will be back soon with a smile on her face and putting her best foot forward like she always does do.
‘She needs some time to regroup after everything that’s happened, which is understandable, but she plans to return to Loose Women in July with renewed vigor.’
The friend also insisted there was ‘no chance’ the pair would ever get back together.
