About Kate

Kate Woodall is a counsellor who aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable. She focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression. Her manner is straightforward and calm, and she invites clients to speak freely about what feels hard right now.

She brings six years of experience working alongside people with both physical health and mental health challenges. That background includes time supporting bereavement in a UK hospice, so she is familiar with grief and loss work.

Background and approach

She also helps with motivation, building confidence, and coping with life changes. In sessions she creates an open space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment. She uses client-centred methods to follow what matters most to each person.

Mindfulness and somatic techniques are offered to help people notice how stress shows up in the body and mind. Clients can expect practical, relatable conversation and small, doable steps between meetings. Kate listens for strengths and builds on them to help people gain more control over daily worries and mood.

Her approach is gentle but purposeful. She works with video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging so people can choose what fits their life. Sessions are organised through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and scheduling is arranged after a short matching questionnaire.

Approaches that suit online sessions

Client-centred therapy focuses on what matters most to the person in front of the therapist. It involves open listening and gentle reflection so the client can find their own solutions and make sense of feelings. This approach helps when the main need is to be heard and understood.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce rumination and steady the mind. It can help with anxiety and stress by training awareness of thoughts and sensations in the present moment. Motivational interviewing is a collaborative method that helps people find internal reasons to change, which can be useful for low motivation or when someone is unsure about next steps.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and together they will try methods that fit the person's needs. This collaborative way means the plan can be adjusted as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility for different lifestyles. Video calls let the therapist and client connect face to face, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for ongoing check-ins or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work and daily life.
