About Kate
Kate Wilson is a counsellor and psychotherapist with ten years' experience and the NCPS credential. She offers therapy for a wide range of concerns including anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and parenting-related strain. She also works with issues such as addiction, eating and sleeping difficulties, relationship and intimacy concerns, and adjustments after major life changes.
Kate trained in psychology and social psychology and has worked in research settings before moving into therapeutic practice. Her background includes work supporting people through bereavement and an affiliation with Anxiety UK for anxiety-related support. She is also a qualified clinical supervisor and offers supervision to other therapists.
Her approach is pragmatic and person-focused. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred methods alongside hypnotherapy and mindfulness techniques. Sessions aim to be straightforward and practical, with ideas and exercises that can be used between meetings.
People come for help with managing stress, coping with loss, improving confidence, dealing with parenting pressures and navigating relationship tensions. Kate listens without judgement and works collaboratively to clarify what matters to each person, then practises techniques that support those aims.
She describes her way of working as flexible and pluralistic, selecting methods that fit the problem at hand. If you want to discuss goals or how therapy might fit into your life, she asks for an initial match questionnaire and a first session to set out a plan.
How sessions work
How ACT, CBT and client-centred work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and make small steps towards those values. It often uses exercises to build willingness to sit with difficult thoughts while acting on chosen goals. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, with clear techniques people can try between sessions. Client-Centred Therapy prioritises the person's own pace and perspective, offering an attentive listener who helps clarify feelings and priorities.Finding the right approach is usually part of the early work. Kate will discuss different methods and agree a plan that suits the individual's needs, goals and preferences. She aims to work together to test what helps and adapt methods over time rather than sticking to a single style.
Session formats are not specified on the profile, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around family and work commitments, reduce travel time and allow brief check-ins when a full in-person appointment is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals commonly use online sessions to keep continuity of care and to help clients practice techniques in everyday settings.
