About Kathryn
Kathryn (Kate) Bishop is a counsellor and a member of the BACP with six years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She works with people who are facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self esteem and depression. Her practice also covers addictions, relationship and family concerns, and issues linked to work and life changes.
Kate uses a client-centred way of working. That means she focuses on each person's perspective and follows what matters most to them. Sessions are conversational and aim to help people talk through feelings and make sense of difficult experiences.
She also supports people with specific concerns such as ADHD, compassion fatigue, and intimacy-related or body image issues. Other areas she sees include parenting strain, sleep and eating problems, chronic health and caring responsibilities, and attachment or abandonment concerns.
Kate aims to listen without judging and to adjust the pace to what the person needs. She will work with people on practical steps alongside open discussion. That can include looking at coping strategies, communication patterns, and changes that might reduce stress.
People who want to begin are asked to use the site's matching process. The first steps are a short questionnaire and then scheduling an initial session. Kate offers sessions for adults in English and does not take international clients.
Client-centred approaches and online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own experience. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said and follows the client's priorities. This approach can help with anxiety, low mood, relationship worries and coping after loss.Working out which way of working suits someone is part of the process. The counsellor will talk with the client about their needs, goals and preferences and will jointly decide how to proceed. That decision can change as therapy goes on, based on what helps most.
This profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare and travel. It can also allow shorter check-ins and avoid travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can offer sessions in ways that suit daily life, and the format can be chosen to match a person's routine and technical comfort.
