About Kate
Kate Neligan is a counsellor with a BACP accreditation and 16 years of experience supporting people through difficult life moments. She is based in the United Kingdom and offers both short-term and longer-term work. Kate aims to make the first steps into therapy easier by offering a calm, respectful approach.
Her background includes work in independent practice and in public services. She brings an integrative outlook that blends humanistic and psychodynamic ideas with practical, solution-focused techniques.
Background and approach
That mix helps her adapt to different problems and to each person's needs. Sessions are conversational and collaborative. Kate listens for patterns from current struggles and past experiences, then helps people try new ways of relating or coping.
She draws on attachment ideas to understand close relationships and on solution-focused methods to set achievable goals. Common concerns she addresses include stress and anxiety, depression, grief, relationship difficulties and trauma and abuse. She also supports people with eating and sleeping issues, addiction, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem and career worries.
Additional focuses include attachment and family of origin issues, fertility, ageing, and bereavement-related problems. Therapy with Kate tends to be warm and practical. She works at a pace that suits the person and adjusts the approach as needs change.
People who want a respectful, non-judgemental space to think things through often find this way of working helpful.

Approaches Kate lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps the person find their own answers. This approach suits people who want a steady, respectful space to think things through and make decisions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kate will discuss what feels most useful and try approaches that match the person's goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as progress is made.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging suits people who prefer writing. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
