About Kate
Kate Wilson is a counsellor who focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief and life changes. She has worked for six years supporting people with mood difficulties, trauma and addiction concerns. Her approach is straightforward and practical, aimed at building manageable coping skills for daily life.
Kate draws links between past experiences and present behaviour to help people understand why they react the way they do.
Background and approach
She uses a person-centred way of working, which puts the client's priorities at the heart of sessions. Kate also draws on cognitive behavioural strategies to challenge unhelpful thinking and behavioural patterns. Her practice includes tools from dialectical behaviour therapy to help with emotional regulation and distress tolerance.
Attachment-focused techniques are used when early relationships still influence current struggles. Kate often combines these methods in creative ways to help people express and process emotions. Sessions aim to produce practical strategies that can be used day to day.
Kate supports clients to build calm, manage difficult feelings and set achievable goals. She adapts the pace and style of therapy to each person's needs. People can expect a respectful and compassionate space to work through painful issues.
Kate emphasises collaboration and empowerment so that clients gain skills they can use outside of sessions. She encourages the small steps that lead to lasting change.

Online support
She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to understand how early relationships shape current feelings and patterns. This approach can help when issues like abandonment, trust or repeating relationship patterns are present.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and review what is working over time.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls let you use visual cues and a fuller conversation, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, ongoing reflection and when written conversations feel easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep making progress between sessions.
