Kate Neligan

Kate Neligan is a counsellor who has been working in therapy for 16 years. She holds an MA and an Advanced Diploma in Integrative Psychotherapy and Counselling, and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Based in the United Kingdom, she has experience in both private practice and the NHS.

She helps people with many concerns including stress, anxiety, anger, depression, grief and relationship difficulties. She also supports clients facing addiction, trauma and abuse, issues around intimacy, eating and sleeping problems, and challenges linked to neurodiversity and ADHD. Kate offers both short-term and longer-term work depending on what someone needs.

Her style is warm and collaborative. She aims to create a respectful, compassionate space and works together with the client to decide the best way forward. Sessions are tailored to the individual rather than following a single method.

Kate practises an integrative approach that draws on attachment-based, psychodynamic and solution-focused ideas, alongside client-centred principles. This means she might look at past patterns, current relationships and practical steps for change in the same course of work.

If someone wants to start, they use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. Scheduling then follows the therapist's availability and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Kate’s approaches translate to online counselling

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current habits and emotional reactions. It can help people who struggle with trust, closeness or recurring relationship patterns to connect what happened in the past with how they feel now.

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding from the person’s perspective. The therapist offers acceptance and empathy while the client steers the pace and topic of sessions, which can suit people wanting a supportive, non-directive space.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kate will work collaboratively to identify what feels most useful, combining elements from different models to match your goals and preferences. That partnership helps decide whether the work should be practical and solution-focused or more reflective and exploratory.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy life and making it easier to keep regular appointments. If you need clarification on which session formats are offered, confirm the current options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use online work to make therapy more accessible while keeping sessions focused on everyday changes and coping strategies.
