About Kate
She uses an integrative approach that draws on several counselling frameworks. Sessions focus on talking through current problems and looking at how past experiences and social pressures have shaped reactions. Kate works relationally, meaning the therapeutic relationship itself is central to how she practices.
In practical terms she offers grounding exercises and relaxation techniques alongside reflective conversation. She also brings experience of transactional analysis and trauma-informed methods to help people understand repeating patterns. This helps clients notice small but meaningful connections between past events and present feelings.
Kate has worked in bereavement support services and with people affected by complex grief. She has experience supporting people with obsessive thoughts, compulsions, self-harm histories, and panic. Her background includes work in residential settings with older people and in community groups with parents and young people.
Sessions aim to uncover manageable steps that reduce overwhelming feelings and increase a sense of control. Kate encourages practical self-support strategies while exploring emotional material. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the service.

How therapy approaches translate to online work
Internal Family Systems is a model that looks at different parts of a person’s inner experience. It helps people notice protective parts and wounded parts, and to develop kinder ways of responding to difficult feelings. This approach can be useful for issues such as trauma responses, attachment concerns, and persistent self-criticism.Kate also draws on trauma-informed practices and transactional analysis ideas. Trauma-informed work focuses on stabilising, grounding, and working carefully with distressing memories. Transactional analysis offers simple ways to see recurring relationship and communication patterns that affect work and family life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss what feels most helpful and adapt methods to the client’s needs and goals. That decision is collaborative and may shift as sessions progress.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm which session types are offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce time spent travelling. They also allow the therapist and client to use grounding exercises, breathing practices, reflective conversation, and visualisations in real time, which can help when coping with anxiety, grief, or life changes.
