About Kate
She trained in psychology, earning a BA (Hons) in Psychology from the University of Liverpool and an MSc in Social Psychology from the London School of Economics. She has experience as a research psychologist and brings that background into her clinical thinking. She is also a qualified clinical supervisor and has supported other therapists in their work.
Kate has focused experience with anxiety and bereavement, having been affiliated with Anxiety UK and worked with Cruse as a support worker and supervisor. She works with a wide range of concerns including stress, low self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, addictions, relationship difficulties and career issues. She also addresses more specific issues such as attachment and abandonment, body image, fertility and end-of-life matters.
In sessions she uses a pluralistic approach, drawing on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, client-centred methods, mindfulness and hypnotherapy when appropriate. That allows techniques to be tailored to each person’s needs rather than sticking to one fixed method.
People can expect a calm, non-judgemental space to talk things through and work towards practical steps. Kate is based in the United Kingdom and keeps the focus on achievable goals and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

How Kate uses ACT, CBT and client-centred work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on what matters to them. It often uses simple exercises to build values-based action and manage anxiety or low mood. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns in thinking and behaviour and then testing and changing them with clear tasks and practice. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression and stress. Client-centred therapy offers a supportive, non-judgemental space where the counsellor reflects and listens closely so clients can find their own solutions and regain confidence.Finding the best fit is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and choose techniques together. That collaborative process means methods can change as needs evolve, using ACT, CBT, mindfulness or hypnotherapy when they help the most.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit around family, work or medical appointments. It also allows shorter check-ins when life is busy, and can reduce travel time so therapy becomes simpler to keep up with. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, homework and pacing to suit an online setting and to support steady progress.
