About Kate

Kate Fletcher is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS), with five years of professional experience in the UK. She helps people coping with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, family problems, trauma and abuse, and depression. She also supports issues around parenting, intimacy, eating and sleeping, grief, and ADHD.

Her approach is practical and conversational. Sessions focus on talking through problems and finding manageable steps to reduce day-to-day strain. She uses evidence-informed methods such as attachment work, client-centred ways of listening, and cognitive behavioural techniques to help people notice patterns and try different responses.

Clients can expect sessions that aim to clarify what matters most and to build skills for dealing with conflict, low mood, worry, and difficult life changes. She also works with concerns like abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, and communication problems. Complex issues such as chronic pain, dissociation, domestic violence, and body image are included in her experience.

Her background combines relational approaches with practical tools. That means time is spent both on emotions and on concrete strategies, such as changing unhelpful thinking or practising new ways of speaking with someone at home. She accepts international clients and offers work in English.

To begin, people use the site matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Kate combines attachment-based ideas with client-centred listening and cognitive behavioural techniques. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people change repeating relational responses. Client-centred work focuses on clear, respectful listening so the person can clarify their own priorities and feelings. Cognitive behavioural techniques look at thoughts and behaviours people repeat and teach practical skills to test and alter those patterns.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Kate treats this as a collaborative process and will discuss what seems most useful based on a person's goals and preferences. Together they decide whether to emphasise relational understanding, practical skills, or both at any stage.

The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy routines, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people continue therapeutic work with a registered professional even if they move location. Practical arrangements such as session length and scheduling are agreed when setting up the first appointment.
