About Kate
Kate Mollison is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 24 years of professional experience. She has worked in many settings, including employee assistance, the NHS, and private practice. Her clinical focus includes anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and parenting concerns among other life stresses.
Her style mixes different approaches rather than using one fixed method. She draws on person-centred ways of working to build a trusting relationship and to listen without judgement. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to give clear tools and a shared vocabulary for tackling unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.
Mindfulness and breathing techniques are part of sessions when helpful, to support day-to-day regulation of mood and stress. Trauma-focused elements are included for people dealing with past harm, and solution-focused techniques can help set short-term goals and practical steps. The overall emphasis is practical and down-to-earth rather than abstract.
Kate has worked with adults facing a wide range of concerns, from relationship and family matters to addictions, parenting strain and career pressures. She notes that each person’s background and coping style is different, and she works with clients to identify patterns that may be getting in the way of more satisfying daily life.
She practises from a UK base and has experience across cultures from living and working abroad. Prospective clients are invited to complete a short questionnaire to match on the platform and then book an initial session to see how the approach fits.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Kate combines person-centred work with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and mindfulness in online sessions. Person-centred work focuses on attentive listening and asking helpful questions so the client feels heard. CBT offers structured ways to spot thought patterns and try different behaviours, useful for anxiety, low mood and compulsive habits. Mindfulness teaches simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce stress and support daily regulation.Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively with each client to decide which methods to try based on their goals and what feels workable. That decision can change as short-term aims are met or new issues arise.
Session arrangements should be confirmed before booking because formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Ask about session length and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire so you can find a routine that fits your day-to-day life.
