About Kate
She uses a person-centred approach, which means conversations follow the client’s pace and priorities. She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy and attachment-based ideas. These help turn insight into practical steps to manage mood and relationships.
With six years of experience, she links past events to present patterns to help people understand why they react the way they do. That understanding is used to build simple coping strategies that can be tried in day-to-day life. She often works creatively with emotions rather than relying on one fixed method.
Her practice includes work on trauma, abuse and post-traumatic stress symptoms, where she focuses on safety and gradual change. She also helps with parenting strain, sleep problems, relationship and communication difficulties, and issues around identity and belonging.
Kate aims to treat people with respect, compassion and sensitivity. She tailors conversations and plans to each person’s needs and goals. She invites anyone ready to make a change to take a first step and explore what might help.
Background and approach: Kate is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Over six years she has developed a practical style that combines listening with tools people can use straight away. She works collaboratively to set realistic goals and reviews progress as therapy continues.

How different approaches guide online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without trying to fight them, then choose actions that match their values. It can help when anger or avoidance gets in the way of what matters. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, useful for anxiety, depression and anger management. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns formed in past relationships and how they affect current connections, helping with abandonment, attachment issues and relationship difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods to try, based on their goals and what feels most useful. This is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm which options are available before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people try therapy from wherever they are based, which can be useful for international clients. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt tools like mindfulness exercises, behavioural tasks and values-based planning to an online setting so they work in everyday life.
