About Kate
Kate Woodall is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, grief and low self-esteem. She approaches sessions with warmth and patience, aiming to create a calm space where people can talk honestly about what is troubling them.
Kate acknowledges how hard it can feel to ask for help and commends the step of reaching out. With six years of professional experience, Kate has worked with people living with both physical health and mental health challenges.
Background and approach
Her background includes time at a UK hospice providing bereavement counselling, so she is familiar with grief and loss as well as long-term illness. Those experiences shape how she listens and responds in sessions. Kate uses a mix of practical and person-focused approaches.
She draws on client-centred methods to follow each person’s concerns, mindfulness to help manage overwhelming feelings, and somatic techniques that pay attention to the body’s responses. Motivational interviewing helps when people want to change habits or find drive again. In a session she focuses on clear, gentle conversation and simple practices people can try between appointments.
She can support work on coping with life changes, caregiver stress, chronic pain or illness, communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation, life purpose and workplace difficulties. Appointments are offered online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. Kate usually works weekday evenings and parts of Friday, which can suit people fitting therapy around work or care commitments.

Online support
Mindfulness practice teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and sensations without judgement. It can reduce stress and help with anxiety or low mood by giving short, practical exercises to use day to day.
Motivational interviewing supports people who want to make changes but feel stuck. It involves exploring values and small steps forward rather than pressure to change immediately.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and the therapist will work collaboratively to see what fits. Goals, preferences and how someone responds to early sessions guide whether more mindfulness, somatic work or conversational motivational work is used.
Online sessions by video, phone, live chat or text messaging offer flexibility for people juggling work, care or mobility limits. Video allows face-to-face conversation; phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited; chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or those who prefer typing. These options make it simpler to maintain regular contact and try different working styles without travelling.
