About Kate
Kate studied Psychology at the University of Liverpool and completed a Master of Science in Social Psychology at the London School of Economics. Before qualifying as a therapist she worked as a research psychologist at LSE, and she now also provides clinical supervision to other therapists.
Her practice covers a wide range of concerns including depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting stresses, career dilemmas and eating and sleeping difficulties. She has specific experience supporting people through bereavement and grief, and has been involved with Cruse as a support worker and supervisor.
Kate uses a pluralistic way of working, combining techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, mindfulness and client-centred methods as relevant to each person. She also offers hypnotherapy as an additional option where appropriate.
Clients can expect a calm, non-judgemental space to talk things through and practical steps to try between sessions. Kate is based in the United Kingdom and aims to help people find clearer direction and improved day-to-day coping as they work towards their goals.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with stress, worry and mood problems. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on providing a non-judgemental space and empathic listening so people feel understood and can find their own solutions.Finding the right fit is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals, try different techniques and adjust the approach as you go. This helps make sessions feel relevant and practical for your everyday life.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also support continuity when life circumstances change, with the therapist and client deciding together how to structure sessions that work for them.
