About Kate
She trained in the United Kingdom and qualified in 2022 with registration through the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. During training she completed 100 hours of voluntary clinical practice at a charity supporting people who self-harm and those with suicidal thoughts. That early work shaped her calm, grounded manner.
In sessions Kate follows a client-centred style. That means she listens closely, reflects what she hears and follows the client’s pace rather than directing the work. People can expect a supportive space to sort through emotions, make sense of difficult memories and consider how to cope day to day.
She often helps people with attachment and abandonment worries, codependency, communication problems and caregiver stress. Other focuses include issues linked to autism and Asperger syndrome, avoidant or dependent personality traits, eating and food-related concerns, emptiness and family of origin difficulties.
Kate strives to make therapy straightforward. She works with clear, practical steps and aims to help people find ways to feel steadier and more able to manage everyday demands.

Person-centred work and online therapy options
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on offering an accepting, non-directive space where the counsellor listens deeply and follows the client’s lead. It helps people who need time to name feelings, work through painful memories, or decide what changes to try next.That approach asks the counsellor and client to work together on what feels most useful. The counsellor will help identify which ways of working suit a person’s goals and preferences, and adjust as the work progresses. Deciding on the right approach is treated as a collaborative process rather than a one-off decision.
Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy life and reducing travel time. Online therapy can make it easier to schedule short check-ins or regular weekly sessions around work and family commitments. The site’s process asks you to confirm current session options before you book so you know the exact formats the counsellor offers at the time.
