About Kate
Counsellor Kate Wilson is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with six years' experience. She works with stress, anxiety, grief and depression, and supports people facing trauma, abuse and life changes. She also helps with relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, sleep problems, addiction and work-related issues.
Kate uses a person-centred approach alongside cognitive behavioural methods. She often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) techniques. Sessions focus on practical coping strategies that fit day-to-day life and on understanding how past experiences affect current behaviour.
She spends time listening to personal history and linking it to present patterns. That can include looking at attachment and abandonment issues, and how these affect relationships. Kate works with people around codependency, communication problems and blended family difficulties.
When trauma or abuse is involved she offers direct work that aims to reduce distress and increase coping. She uses creative ways to help people process strong emotions and learn calming skills. Practical tasks and short exercises are often part of therapy.
Kate accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. Before a first appointment she asks people to outline their main concerns so sessions can start with clear goals. The emphasis is on finding strategies that are usable between meetings and on steady, manageable progress.
How her therapeutic approaches work for online counselling
Kate commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) which helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them and work towards what matters. It suits long-standing worry, low mood and situations where values-based goals are helpful.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at early relationships and how these shape current patterns. This can help when people struggle with trust, abandonment fears or recurring relationship problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and the things that have or have not helped before. Together they will try methods that suit the person's needs and adjust them as therapy progresses.
Confirm available session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific options. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel and allow a shorter check-in when needed. It can also let people choose quieter surroundings, turn off video if that helps, or arrange times that fit a work break. Registered or accredited professionals can use these practical choices to help therapy fit everyday life.
