About Kate

Kate Wilson works with stress, anxiety, grief, depression and life changes, and she uses talking, practical coping strategies and creative work with emotions to help people manage day-to-day pressures. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and has six years of professional experience.

She focuses on attachment and abandonment issues and links early relationship patterns to current behaviours. This helps clients see how past experiences can shape reactions now and where small changes can reduce repeated difficulties.

Kate uses a person-centred approach alongside cognitive behavioural techniques and dialectical behaviour methods. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based work, so sessions often mix reflecting on feelings with goal-focused exercises and practical skills to stay calmer in stressful moments.

When working on trauma, abuse or loss she combines discussion with strategies aimed at reducing distress and improving day-to-day functioning. Sessions may include techniques for managing strong emotions, grounding tools and ways to change unhelpful thinking patterns that keep problems going.

She supports people who are dealing with relationship and family problems, parenting strains, sleep difficulties, career uncertainty, addiction and issues such as codependency, dissociation or shame. Clients can expect collaborative planning, straightforward coping tools and regular review of what is working.

Kate accepts international clients and runs sessions in English. She offers a practical initial process for people who want to start counselling and asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before their first session.

How Kate uses talking therapies in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take steps that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early experiences influence current behaviour; it is often used for attachment difficulties and problems with trust. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression and sleep problems.

Choosing the best approach is part of the work rather than a fixed choice at the start. The counsellor will discuss aims, try small changes and agree which methods feel most helpful for the person's goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and is reviewed as therapy continues.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let someone continue seeing the same counsellor if they move or travel, while the practical focus remains on developing coping skills and building better day-to-day routines.
