About Kate

Kate Wilson works with stress, anxiety, bereavement and self‑esteem by offering psychotherapy, counselling and hypnotherapy. She is a member of NCPS and has ten years' experience working with people in the United Kingdom.

She trained in psychology with a BA (Hons) from the University of Liverpool and an MSc in Social Psychology from the London School of Economics. Before clinical training she worked as a research psychologist at the London School of Economics. She also works as a clinical supervisor, supporting other therapists.

Her practice covers a wide range of concerns including depression, coping with life changes, addictions and career issues. She also helps with relationship and intimacy-related issues, communication problems, parenting strain, eating and sleeping difficulties, and compassion fatigue. Additional areas of focus include grief, bereavement support and end-of-life counselling work related to hospice and hospice-adjacent care.

Her clinical approach is pluralistic. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), client-centred therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), hypnotherapy and mindfulness techniques. She uses whatever combination of methods best fits the issue being discussed at the time.

Sessions tend to be practical and focused on the present while also attending to personal history where it matters. She offers supervision to other practitioners and combines therapeutic work with coaching-style support when clients want goal-focused input.

How Kate uses different approaches in online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It supports identifying values and taking small actions that matter, which can help with anxiety, stress and life changes.

Client‑centred therapy focuses on a respectful, non-directive relationship. The counsellor listens closely and reflects what is said, helping people clarify their own thoughts and decisions; this can be useful for self‑esteem, grief and relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) works on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and short experiments to reduce unhelpful patterns, often for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will help decide which methods suit the client's needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can change over time as the work develops.

Session arrangements are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit around work and family life, allow shorter check‑in meetings, or let them choose whether to use video or audio. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt techniques used in person to work well in remote sessions.
