About Kate
Counsellor Kate Fletcher is a UK-based practitioner and a member of BACP and NCPS with five years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, and a range of concerns that affect everyday life.
Kate uses straightforward conversation to help people talk through what feels difficult. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. She also uses client-centred methods to focus on a person’s own priorities, and cognitive behavioural techniques when practical changes to thinking and behaviour are useful.
Sessions are focused on what the person brings each week. Kate aims to make sessions clear and practical. She listens for patterns, reactions and triggers, and suggests homework or small experiments where they may help.
She also works with intimacy and body image issues, eating and sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem, and challenges linked to chronic pain, illness and disability. Relationship concerns include communication problems, jealousy, control issues and abandonment or attachment difficulties.
Kate notes experience helping people with LGBT matters, parenting strain, career-related stress, and neurodivergent issues such as ADHD. She accepts international clients and offers work in English. To begin, a short questionnaire and an initial session are the first steps to arranging ongoing counselling.
How her approaches work for online counselling
Attachment-based work looks at recurring relationship patterns and how early bonds affect current trust and closeness. It can help with relationship strain, abandonment worries and attachment difficulties.Client-centred work puts the person’s experience at the centre of the conversation. The counsellor focuses on listening, reflecting and helping people identify their own next steps.
Cognitive behavioural techniques focus on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. They are used when someone wants practical steps to change unhelpful thinking or behaviour, such as with anxiety, low mood or sleep disruption.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and how different methods might fit. This is a collaborative decision made together over the first sessions.
Confirm session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone take part from a different location when that helps with day-to-day life. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly adapt the mix of approaches to suit what is practical for the person.
