About Kate

Kate Wilson is a counsellor with six years of professional experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief and major life changes. She also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, relationship difficulties, ADHD and issues around self‑esteem and parenting.

Clients can expect plain, direct conversations that link past experiences to today’s behaviour. Kate draws out coping strategies that can be used in everyday life to help manage panic, anger and sleep problems. She aims to make sessions feel practical and focused rather than abstract.

Her approach is person-centred while also using cognitive behavioural techniques and elements from dialectical behaviour therapy. Attachment-based ideas are used when past relationships affect present struggles. Sessions may include creative ways of working with emotions alongside structured tools for change.

Kate tailors sessions to each person’s needs and preferences. She emphasises respect, sensitivity and compassion in sessions and works collaboratively to set goals. People looking for support with career strain, addiction, LGBT issues, or coping after separation will find these areas are within her scope.

She accepts clients from outside the UK and holds registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, abbreviated as BACP. Before booking, readers should check the current session formats on the booking page to confirm how they would like to meet.

How her approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts without being led by them and commit to actions that match their values; it can be useful for low mood, worry and feeling stuck. Attachment‑based ideas look at how early relationship patterns affect current relationships and emotion regulation, which can help when worry or anger links back to past hurts. Client‑centred work focuses on listening, empathy and creating space for the person’s experience so they can find their own direction.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals and preferences and try different ways of working to find what fits best. This is a collaborative process rather than a one‑size‑fits‑all prescription.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check‑ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Readers should confirm the current session options before booking, since available formats are shown on the booking page. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt techniques used in each approach to suit remote sessions, and the practical focus is on building coping skills that work in everyday life.
