About Kate

Kate Wilson is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience. She works with adults struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, grief and anger, and supports people facing life changes and relationship or career dilemmas.

She draws on a person-centred way of working while using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and attachment-based ideas when they fit the situation. Sessions focus on practical strategies to manage strong feelings and reduce reactive behaviour.

Kate pays attention to the past and how earlier experiences link to patterns today. That helps people understand why they snap, shut down, or feel overwhelmed. From there she and the client build coping skills that can be used day to day.

When someone brings trauma, abuse or loss into sessions, Kate uses trauma-informed methods and emotional work to process those issues. She emphasises tools that support calmer responses and steadier routines rather than only talking about problems.

Conversations are collaborative and aim to produce strategies that fit a person’s life. Clients work on specific skills for calming, communication and sleep, or on longer-term goals such as managing addiction, ADHD-related challenges, or rebuilding after separation.

Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. Before booking, people should confirm the current session options and any practical details they need.

How sessions work

How Kate uses therapeutic approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It focuses on values and small actions that move someone toward a more workable life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks down patterns between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches concrete skills for managing anger, anxiety and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current emotional responses and communication, which can be useful for addressing resentment, abandonment issues and relationship strain.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which methods to try first, and will adjust the approach based on how those methods fit the client's goals and daily life. That way sessions remain practical and focused on usable strategies.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and use tools such as worksheets or skills practice between meetings. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors using these methods, aim to make sessions workable around work, family and travel without promising a particular service.
