Background and approach

Kate works with concerns around eating and sleeping, parenting strain, career stress, compassion fatigue and ADHD among others. Her approach is integrative. That means she draws on several methods to suit each person’s needs rather than using a single technique for everyone.

She often combines attachment-based and psychodynamic ideas with client-centred and solution-focused steps to build a plan with the person sitting opposite her. Sessions are delivered online through video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, and she accepts international clients.

Kate aims to be collaborative and respectful, helping people set practical goals while also exploring deeper patterns that affect how they feel and relate to others. She has experience in both short-term and longer-term work and adapts the pace to each person’s situation. Kate aims to make starting therapy straightforward and to help people find workable steps for change.

How Kate's Approaches Work Online

Kate often uses attachment-based ideas which look at how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions. This helps people who struggle with intimacy, abandonment worries or repeated relationship patterns to understand why they respond as they do.

She also uses client-centred ways of working that place the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. That approach focuses on listening, empathy and helping people find their own solutions and direction when facing depression, anxiety or life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss options and tailor methods to match the person's goals, needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process and the plan can change as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people keep face-to-face contact when needed. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, brief coaching points or when writing out thoughts feels easier. These formats help fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping a steady place to check in and make progress.
