About Kate

Kate Mollison is a counsellor in the United Kingdom with more than 24 years of professional experience. She holds BACP registration and has worked across NHS services, employee assistance programmes and independent practice. Kate has spent much of her career helping people manage anxiety, stress, depression and the effects of trauma.

She approaches each person as an individual rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. Sessions focus on building a trusting, non-judgemental relationship and exploring patterns of thoughts, feelings and behaviours that get in the way of day-to-day life.

Background and approach

Practical tools are shared alongside reflective conversation. Kate uses an integrated mix of therapeutic ways of working. Cognitive behavioural techniques provide a clear framework and practical strategies.

Client-centred methods prioritise empathy and acceptance to help people feel heard. Mindfulness and breathing exercises are introduced to support emotional regulation and reduce physical tension. Solution-focused ideas are used when people want shorter-term, goal-oriented work.

Trauma-focused elements are included when past events continue to affect current wellbeing. She is comfortable working with a wide range of concerns including grief, addiction, relationship and identity issues, sleep problems, parenting strain and career change. Kate keeps learning through courses and reading, and she adjusts her approach to fit each person’s needs.

The aim is steady, manageable change rather than quick fixes.

Approaches that translate to online therapy

Kate commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her work. CBT gives practical steps and a clear vocabulary to tackle anxious thoughts and unhelpful behaviours, which suits structured online sessions. Mindfulness Therapy focuses on simple breathing and attention exercises to reduce stress and improve emotional regulation, and these practices fit well into short video or audio sessions.

Finding the right approach usually happens together. The therapist will listen to needs and try different ways of working until a good fit emerges. That collaborative process helps set realistic goals and choose methods that match personal preferences and circumstances.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls enable face-to-face conversation and guided exercises. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging can suit short check-ins, ongoing coaching-style support or people who find writing easier than speaking. These options give flexibility to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while using the approaches described above.
