Background and approach

Her background includes supporting people through relationship and family difficulties, addictions, low self-esteem and mood concerns. She also helps with issues such as sleep and eating difficulties, career stress, burnout and compassion fatigue. Kate has experience with neurodiversity topics including autism and ADHD concerns.

She also works with people facing longer-term health challenges, chronic pain or caregiver stress. Other areas Kate addresses include attachment and abandonment worries, communication problems and dissociation. Her approach is steady and person-focused so that people set goals at a pace that suits them.

Sessions are conducted in English and delivered online using video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Kate encourages people to begin with a short matching questionnaire so the practical details of scheduling and format can be agreed before therapy begins.

How client-centred care works online

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and building a trusting working relationship. The counsellor aims to understand what matters to the person and follows their lead when setting goals and planning work. This approach can help with anxiety, stress, grief and relationship concerns by creating space to talk things through and try practical coping steps.

In online work the focus is the same - the counsellor adapts to what you need and they will discuss which ways of working suit you best. That might mean trying conversational sessions, short coaching-style check-ins, or paced therapeutic conversations. Finding the right approach is collaborative and part of the first few meetings so adjustments can be made as needs evolve.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you use visual cues and mirror a face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, shorter sessions or people who express themselves better in writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family or care routines and to keep continuity over time.
