About Kate
Kate believes clients know their stories best, and she treats each person with respect and curiosity. Sessions focus on identifying strengths and small steps forward. The tone is supportive and straightforward rather than overly clinical.
In practice she uses several approaches to match the person's needs. Attachment-based ideas help people understand how past relationships shape current patterns. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different actions. Mindfulness exercises support coping with strong feelings in the moment.
Her background includes long-term work across a range of concerns such as trauma and abuse, addiction, grief, eating and sleeping difficulties, caregiving stress and chronic health problems. Kate also works with issues like abandonment, attachment difficulties, autism and codependency when they arise in therapy.
Sessions are aimed at helping people manage life changes, improve communication, cope with anger, and rebuild a sense of agency. The style is collaborative: Kate listens, offers practical tools, and helps clients set realistic goals. She encourages gentle progress rather than quick fixes.

How Kate’s approaches translate to online work
Kate commonly draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships influence current patterns. This helps when people notice repeating difficulties in trust or closeness and want to understand what keeps those cycles going.She also uses client-centred methods that focus on the person’s perspective and goals. That means sessions prioritise listening, validating experience and shaping the work around what matters to the individual.
Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try out different behaviours. This approach can be useful for anxiety, low mood and problems with motivation because it pairs thinking changes with practical experiments.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. The counsellor will work together with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and personal preferences, adjusting the plan as work progresses.
If you are thinking about online sessions, confirm the specific session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit regular sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the counsellor about what will work best for your routine and pace, and they will help arrange sessions accordingly.
