About Kate

Kate Anderson is a counsellor who helps people feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or anxious about life and relationships. She works with worries like stress, low mood, anxiety and problems with self-esteem. Her style is calm and patient so people can take things at their own pace.

She draws on several approaches rather than one fixed method. That means sessions are tailored to each person, combining ways to understand past relationships with tools to manage day-to-day thoughts and feelings.

Background and approach

Mindfulness and practical exercises are used alongside reflective conversation. A key part of her work is looking at how early relationships and family roles shape current behaviour. This helps people notice patterns such as taking care of others at the cost of their own needs, or difficulty asking for support.

Exploring these themes can make it easier to set boundaries and build healthier connections. Alongside depth work, she addresses how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. Techniques from cognitive-behavioural approaches and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy are used to increase calm, clarity and self-trust.

Mindfulness is woven in to help people notice their experience and choose different responses. Sessions also look at values, strengths and life direction. Conversations can cover work and career concerns, parenting strains, intimacy and communication problems.

The aim is practical change grounded in clearer self-understanding and steadier emotional balance.

Approaches you can use in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting caught up in them, then choosing actions that match your values. It can help when anxiety or avoidance stops you doing what matters. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns, helping people understand why they react a certain way in close relationships and work towards different responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and try a mix that suits your goals and preferences. That collaboration means the plan can change as progress is made or new needs appear.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation across distance, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping the focus on practical change and clearer self-understanding.
