Kate Wilson

Kate Wilson, NCPS, is a counsellor with ten years of experience who offers psychotherapeutic support and hypnotherapy. She combines a warm, open manner with practical techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety, anger and life changes. Sessions focus on clear steps to feel steadier and more able to cope. Kate writes plainly and listens closely to each person’s concerns.

Kate trained in psychology, earning a BA (Hons) from the University of Liverpool and an MSc in Social Psychology from the London School of Economics. Before training as a counsellor she worked as a research psychologist at LSE and later moved into clinical roles that included bereavement support for Cruse. She is a clinical supervisor who supports other therapists in their work.

Her practice uses a pluralistic approach, drawing on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Client-Centred Therapy, hypnotherapy and mindfulness-based techniques. She adapts methods to suit the person in front of her rather than using a single fixed model. This means sessions may include practical exercises, reflection and short techniques to try between meetings.

People come to Kate for a wide range of concerns such as anxiety, grief, self-esteem, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting strain and anger. She also supports those facing fertility, bereavement, cancer-related worries, end-of-life matters and work-related compassion fatigue.

Her tone in sessions is non-judgemental and collaborative. The focus is on small, manageable steps and on helping people regain a sense of choice and purpose. Kate works from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English.

How Kate uses therapy approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going and then trying small experiments to change them. It is commonly used for anxiety, low mood and sleeping difficulties. Client-Centred Therapy gives space for people to be heard without judgement and supports self-understanding and emotional processing.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kate will discuss different methods and try things that fit a person's goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process so adjustments are made as sessions progress.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Many people find online or remote therapy helps fit counselling into busy lives because it can cut journey time, make it easier to schedule around work or parenting, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online sessions can also make it simpler to continue therapy when life is disrupted, while the therapist helps set realistic tasks to use between meetings.
