About Kate
Kate Williams helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and compassion fatigue. She works with a range of related concerns including attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, communication and control problems, and pressures faced by caregivers. Kate introduces herself simply and calmly, aiming to make the first step feel manageable.
Kate qualified in the United Kingdom in 2022 and holds BACP accreditation. During training she completed 100 hours of voluntary clinical practice at a charity that supports people with self-harming behaviour and suicidal thoughts.
Background and approach
That experience shaped how she listens and stays with difficult feelings without rushing to fix things. Her approach is client-centred, which means sessions are guided by what each person brings. She aims to create space for someone to say what matters most and to be met with steadiness and empathy.
Conversations tend to focus on understanding feelings, recognising patterns, and finding small, practical ways to cope. Sessions are calm and paced to the individual. Kate describes her role as accompanying people through hard emotions rather than directing the process.
She also supports people dealing with eating and food-related issues, emptiness, and family of origin concerns. People can expect straightforward language and a non-judgemental tone. Kate aims to help people notice options and build on their own strengths, taking steps that feel realistic and safe for them.

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
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kate will help you and her decide together what feels most useful, taking into account your goals and what you prefer from sessions. That collaborative process means the way you work can change as needs change.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls let you see facial cues and body language, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and messaging supports short reflections or ongoing notes between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while maintaining continuity with a therapist.
