Kate Mollison

Kate Mollison is a counsellor with 24 years' experience working in a variety of settings across the UK. She draws on many different ways of working to help people manage stress, anxiety, loss and difficult life changes. Her practice emphasises a respectful, down-to-earth approach that treats each person as an individual.

She uses client-centred methods to build a trusting relationship and create a space where people can speak frankly about what’s hard. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is used to spot unhelpful thought patterns and try small practical experiments to change them. Mindfulness and breathing techniques are offered to support emotional regulation and reduce overwhelm.

Kate describes her style as integrated and flexible rather than one-size-fits-all. She listens for how someone’s background, relationships and daily stresses shape their reactions, and then works collaboratively to find practical ways forward. That might include short-term goal setting, skill practice, or slower work around deeper issues such as trauma or grief.

Her experience spans employee assistance programmes, work within the NHS using CBT, and private practice where mindfulness and compassion-focused methods are part of the mix. She has also worked across different countries and cultures, bringing that wider perspective into sessions.

People come to her with a wide range of concerns including anger, depression, addiction, parenting strain, relationship stresses, trauma and self-esteem problems. She invites a curious, compassionate conversation aimed at clearer thinking and better coping in daily life.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on building a strong, listening relationship where the counsellor follows the person's lead and offers acceptance. This helps when someone needs space to talk through difficult feelings or make sense of life events.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, gives clear tools and steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and anger by breaking problems into manageable parts and trying practical exercises.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce emotional reactivity and increase calm in the moment. These techniques are aimed at helping with stress, sleep and self-regulation.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then try approaches together and adjust as needed. Many people find a mix of methods works best and that choice is reviewed over time.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make some practices, such as guided breathing or home-based exercises, simpler to use between appointments.
