Kate Clare

Kate Clare is a BACP-registered counsellor with over five years' experience in the UK. She works with people who are coping with stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, parenting strain and ADHD. Kate aims to make the first steps feel manageable and non-judgemental.

She practices in a person-centred way, beginning by listening to each person's story and strengths. From there she draws on practical tools from cognitive behavioural therapy to help change unhelpful thinking and patterns. Narrative techniques are used to help people make sense of past events and find new meanings.

Kate has worked with neurodiversity both professionally and personally and brings that lived and clinical awareness into sessions. She supports people dealing with attachment and abandonment wounds, communication difficulties, codependency and the emotional fallout of separation or chronic illness.

In sessions she aims to be straightforward and warm, helping people set small, doable steps. She uses solution-focused ideas to identify what will make a tangible difference between meetings. Over time she and the client review what is working and adjust the approach.

Kate encourages honest, plain-speaking conversations about expectations and goals. She asks new clients to pick the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire to begin. Scheduling is then arranged according to the therapist's availability.

How therapeutic approaches work in online counselling

This therapist draws on client-centred work, cognitive behavioural methods and narrative techniques to meet a range of concerns. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening without judgement and helping people find their own answers; it is useful for building trust and exploring personal goals. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) uses practical exercises and experiments to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour, which can help with anxiety, low mood and stress. Narrative therapy helps people reframe painful experiences by separating them from identity and finding new ways to describe their life story.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your needs and preferences, try different ideas, and agree together what feels most helpful. That partnership means methods can be mixed and adapted over time as goals evolve.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera if that helps them engage. Registered or accredited professionals use these strengths to keep therapy practical and focused on what will help in everyday life.
