About Kate
Kate Clare is a BACP therapist in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, anger, depression and ADHD.
She uses straightforward conversation to help people understand what they are facing. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what practical steps can help. Kate treats people as the experts in their own stories and draws on their strengths when planning next steps.
Her background includes work with neurodiversity, both professionally and personally. That experience informs how she hears communication differences and processing styles, and how she helps clients manage everyday stresses that coincide with autism or attention differences.
Kate draws on a mix of approaches to match the issue at hand. She uses client-centred listening to follow what matters to the person in the room, cognitive behavioural techniques to try different ways of thinking and acting, and narrative ideas to reframe difficult events. She also brings psychodynamic thinking to look at long-standing patterns and solution-focused work for shorter-term goals.
Sessions are practical and paced to the individual. People are invited to set small, realistic aims and review progress together. To begin, clients use the site's matching process and book a first session to see how the working relationship feels.
How sessions work
Approaches used and how online work fits
Client-centred therapy starts by following what matters to the person. The therapist listens closely and uses the client's own priorities to guide sessions. This approach helps when someone wants to feel heard and decide practical next steps.Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviours affect emotions. It offers simple experiments and skills to try between meetings, and can help with anxiety, low mood and anger. Narrative therapy helps people see the story they tell about themselves and, where helpful, find different ways to tell that story to reduce shame or stuckness.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide whether to focus on short-term problem solving, changing thinking and behaviour, or exploring longer patterns.
The practical value of online work is making sessions fit into everyday life. Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the profile does not list them. People often find online sessions helpful because they cut travel time, can be scheduled around work or childcare, and allow for different lengths of meeting when a short check-in is useful.
