About Kate
Kate Wilson is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief and the practical strains of parenting. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, relationship difficulties and issues around self-esteem and anger.
Kate often links past experiences to current behaviours to help people understand recurring patterns. She explains calming techniques and coping strategies in plain language. Sessions include practical skills people can use in everyday life to reduce overwhelm and manage mood swings.
Her main ways of working include client-centred practice alongside cognitive behavioural techniques and dialectical behaviour ideas. She also draws on attachment-based approaches to look at how early relationships influence current connections. Kate describes her style as collaborative and focused on what works day to day.
When people bring family or parenting difficulties, she explores communication, blended family worries and boundaries. She addresses abandonment, attachment and codependency themes alongside common family problems like divorce, separation and forgiveness. Practical problem solving is mixed with emotional work when needed.
Sessions are conducted in English and Kate accepts international clients. She asks people to complete a short questionnaire before the first appointment to match their needs and then schedule an initial session. Fees vary by location and sessions use a cancellable subscription model.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Kate combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy with a client-centred way of working. ACT encourages noticing thoughts and values-driven action rather than getting stuck in unhelpful thinking, which can help with anxiety, avoidance and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current responses and can help with trust, abandonment and communication issues.Finding the right approach is a collaborative part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then try strategies together to see what helps in daily life. Adjustments are made as progress and needs become clearer.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy around family life and work commitments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, homework and skills practice to suit an online rhythm and the practical constraints of everyday routines.
