About Kathryn
Kathryn (Kate) Bishop is a counsellor with six years of professional experience practising in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP registration and works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression and trauma. Kate aims to meet each person with respect, sensitivity and compassion.
She focuses on talking things through in ways that make sense to the individual. Sessions are shaped around the concerns people bring, whether that is sleeping problems, addiction, low self-esteem or career strain.
Background and approach
Kate also supports people coping with relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting strains, and life changes. Her approach is person-centred. That means the conversation is guided by the client’s experience and priorities, not a fixed checklist.
The work can include examining patterns, trying small changes in day-to-day life, and building skills to manage strong emotions. Kate has a wider interest in areas such as ADHD, attachment and abandonment issues, chronic illness and caregiver stress, and body image. She also helps people dealing with loss, compassion fatigue and the after-effects of disaster or abuse.
People looking for practical, down-to-earth support will find sessions that are straightforward and paced to their needs. Kate tailors the plan to each person and aims to empower them to make manageable changes at their own pace.

Approaches Kathryn 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
The online setting keeps that collaborative spirit. The counsellor and client decide together which style and techniques suit the person’s needs and preferences. Over the first few sessions the approach can be adjusted - more practical skill-building, longer reflection, or short focused check-ins - depending on what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when a person prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, ongoing coaching or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping the focus on practical progress.
