Kate Wolsey

Kate Wolsey is a counsellor with five years' experience who aims to give people a calm space to talk things through. She is a registered member of the National Counselling Society (NCPS) and often supports clients dealing with stress, anxiety, grief and relationship concerns. She also works with issues such as eating difficulties, low self-esteem, depression and ADHD-related challenges.

Her style is person-centred, which means the client leads the pace and focus of sessions. She also draws on psychodynamic and existential ideas to look at patterns from the past and questions about meaning in life. The combination helps people make sense of difficult feelings and repeated behaviours.

Sessions focus on listening, reflecting and helping people find practical steps forward. Conversations can cover practical coping strategies, ways to understand emotions, and how past experiences affect present choices. The aim is to support clearer thinking and steadier day-to-day coping.

Kate has particular experience with bereavement and loss and commonly helps people affected by family conflict, separation and trauma. She also supports those facing career strain, parenting pressures and first responder stress.

Working with her is described as collaborative; she helps people set goals and review progress at a pace that suits them. To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to availability.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person in the room and follows the client's priorities; it suits people who want a paced, non-directive space to explore feelings. Psychodynamic therapy looks at recurring patterns and how past experiences influence current reactions, which can help with long-standing relationship or attachment issues. Existential therapy encourages reflection on meaning, choice and values, and can be useful when life changes or loss raise big questions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences with the client and adapt methods as conversations unfold. This collaborative attitude helps tailor sessions to what the person needs now, whether that is short-term coping or deeper exploration over time.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or making attendance possible from different locations. It also supports continuity of care for people who move or travel, while the therapist and client agree a routine that suits their schedules.
