About Kate
Kate Wilson is a counsellor who aims to help people feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, grief, stress or life changes. She offers calm, practical support focused on what an individual needs now. Her approach is straightforward and rooted in listening first, then building simple coping strategies together.
With six years of practice, Kate draws on a mix of approaches to suit different needs. She uses client-centred listening alongside cognitive behavioural techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful patterns.
Background and approach
Dialectical behaviour ideas and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy are used where emotional regulation or values-guided action feel important. Kate often looks at how past experiences link to present behaviour, including attachment and abandonment themes. She works with people who have faced trauma, abuse, loss and long periods of low mood.
Sessions focus on small, practical steps such as grounding, pacing difficult feelings and building day-to-day routines. Many clients find the work useful for sleep problems, parenting strain, workplace stress, relationship communication and navigating separation or bereavement. Kate also supports those managing ADHD traits, addiction concerns, guilt or feelings of emptiness by tailoring strategies to everyday life.
She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, holds the BACP credential, and practices from the United Kingdom. Conversations are carried out in English and can be adapted to short-term goals or longer-term work, depending on what the person wants.
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take small actions that match their values. This approach can help with anxiety, depression and coping with life changes.Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said and helps the person find their own solutions and direction. This approach is often useful when people feel unsure about next steps or need a space to process grief or loss.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk through goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit the person's needs. Work is collaborative - plans are adjusted as progress is made or priorities change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be simpler if bandwidth is limited, and live chat or messaging can suit brief check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and daily life.
