About Kate

Kate Wolsey is an integrative counsellor and a registered member of the National Counselling Society (NCPS) practising in the United Kingdom with five years of experience. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, parenting pressures and life changes. Sessions are person-centred and paced around what the client brings to the room.

Her background blends client-centred work with psychodynamic and existential ideas. That means conversations focus on what matters to the client now, while also considering patterns from the past and questions about meaning. This mix can suit people coping with loss, attachment worries, or recurring difficulties in relationships.

Kate lists a range of concerns she supports including trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, eating concerns, anger, self-esteem, career dilemmas, depression and ADHD. She also notes additional focus areas such as abandonment, blended family issues, caregiver stress, communication and control problems, and separation or divorce matters.

Sessions are offered in English and Kate accepts international clients. She uses a subscription-based payment model that can be cancelled at any time; costs vary with location. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled via the online process.

People who come for counselling can expect a straightforward, person-led approach. Conversations are unhurried, focused on the client's priorities, and shaped collaboratively over time.

How sessions work

How Kate's approaches translate to online counselling

Client-centred work places the client's experience at the heart of each session and emphasises listening and reflecting on what matters most in daily life. It helps with relationship strain, parenting concerns and low mood by following the client's pace and priorities.

Psychodynamic ideas look at recurring patterns and how past relationships shape current reactions. This can be useful for people dealing with attachment issues, abandonment fears or repeated communication problems. Existential therapy focuses on questions of meaning, choice and personal responsibility, which can help when coping with grief, life changes or career crossroads.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss the different methods and agree with the client which direction to try first. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted as needs and goals change.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life, cut travel time and allow quieter check-ins during a lunch break or after work. Registered or accredited professionals often find online sessions useful for continuing steady, regular contact while balancing family and work commitments.
