About Kate

Kate Clare is a BACP-registered counsellor with five years of professional experience. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, low self-esteem, parenting strains and ADHD-related challenges. She also helps with anger, depression and family conflict.

She approaches work believing each person knows their own story. That perspective shapes short-term practical steps and longer conversations about meaning and patterns. Sessions aim to build on existing strengths and make day-to-day coping feel more manageable.

Her background includes considerable experience with neurodiversity, both professionally and personally. That informs how she adapts pace, communication and strategies to fit each person’s needs. She listens for what matters most and adjusts the approach accordingly.

In practice she mixes collaborative, person-focused work with techniques that help change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Narrative approaches are used to look at life stories and how they affect current choices. Solution-focused ideas help set clear, achievable goals during therapy.

Kate works from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. She asks people to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to her availability. The subscription model is used for sessions and can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches work remotely

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens without judgment and follows the person’s priorities, helping them make sense of feelings and choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change how someone thinks and responds to stress and anxiety.

Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from problems by examining the stories they tell about their life. It can be useful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship patterns and grief by offering new perspectives and fresh ways to act.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will check what matters to the person and agree goals together, adjusting methods as the work progresses. That way sessions stay relevant and useful to real-life needs.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around family, work and appointments, and it can reduce travel time. Some people prefer shorter check-ins or audio-only contact when that better fits their routine, while others like longer conversations on video; the therapist will discuss what suits each person.
