About Kate
Kate Clare helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief and relationship strain. She supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, parenting pressures, low self-esteem and anger. She also works with people navigating ADHD and a range of attachment and abandonment concerns.
Kate brings five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and is a BACP Therapist - Registered Member MBACP. She approaches work in a straightforward way, treating each person as the expert in their own life.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps and on hearing the story behind the difficulty. Her practice draws on a mix of approaches. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and routines.
Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and opens up new perspectives. Client-Centred and psychodynamic ideas are used to build understanding of feelings and past patterns. She has considerable experience with neurodiversity, both professionally and personally, and adapts work to suit how someone thinks and learns.
People can expect a calm, respectful space to talk through what matters to them and to try new ways of coping. Taking the first step can feel hard, and Kate aims to make it clear what happens next. She asks about immediate concerns, what has helped before, and practical goals for therapy.
From there she agrees a plan that suits each person’s needs and pace.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Kate will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what feels most useful. She aims to agree a plan that blends approaches and adapts over time as needs change, so the therapy fits the person rather than forcing a single method.
If you are considering online therapy, check the available session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins when that suits a day. It can also help people use approaches like CBT homework or narrative exercises between sessions to keep progress moving forward.
