About Kate
Kate Wolsey is a counsellor registered with the National Counselling Society (NCPS). She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about worries such as anxiety, stress and grief. Sessions are paced to each person’s needs and the client leads what they want to bring to therapy.
She draws chiefly on client-centred work, which places the person at the heart of the process and values their experience. Kate also uses psychodynamic ideas to gently look at how past relationships shape current patterns.
Background and approach
Existential thinking helps people tackle big life questions and find meaning after loss or major change. Clients come for many concerns including relationships, parenting pressures, work stress, bereavement, trauma and difficulties with self-esteem. She also supports those dealing with anger, eating concerns, ADHD-related challenges and life transitions.
Kate pays attention to how attachment, abandonment or blended family issues can influence day-to-day coping. Her style is warm and down-to-earth. She aims to help people feel heard, to name patterns that get in the way, and to try small changes that make daily life easier.
Sessions can include talking, reflection and practical coping strategies tailored to each person. Kate has five years of experience and works with people across the United Kingdom. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients by arrangement.
Practical session options include video calls, phone, live chat and text-based messaging.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Kate uses client-centred work that places the person at the centre of sessions, offering listening, empathy and paced support to help people find their own solutions. This approach is useful for anxiety, stress and relationship issues where being heard can reduce distress.She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to notice how past relationships influence current behaviour and emotional patterns. This perspective can help with recurring problems such as attachment concerns, abandonment fears or long-standing relationship patterns.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kate will discuss options and adjust methods based on a person’s goals, history and preferences. Together they decide whether to focus on practical coping, exploring past patterns, or addressing life meaning and choices.
Online work makes therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper reflection. Phone sessions suit people who prefer not to be on camera or need a quicker check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief updates, moment-to-moment coping and those who find writing easier than speaking. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping continuity of care.
