Kate Neligan

Kate Neligan is a counsellor with 16 years of experience based in the United Kingdom. She holds an MA and an Advanced Diploma in Integrative Psychotherapy and Counselling and is a BACP member. Kate has worked in private practice and within the NHS, helping people with a wide range of difficulties including anxiety, depression and bereavement.

Her approach is adaptable and collaborative. She listens first, then tailors a plan that suits each person’s needs. Sessions can be short term to solve a specific problem or longer term to look at deeper patterns. She aims to offer a respectful, compassionate space where people can speak openly.

Kate draws on attachment-based thinking and psychodynamic ideas alongside client-centred and solution-focused techniques. That means she pays attention to relationships and past experiences, while also keeping practical steps in view. Conversations may look at emotional history, current relationships and small, useful changes to try between sessions.

People come to her for many concerns such as grief, coping with life changes, relationship difficulties, addiction and stress-related problems. She also supports those dealing with caregiver strain, ageing issues, body image, and parenting-related stress. Work may include addressing trauma, attachment wounds or problems with sleep and appetite.

Sessions are offered in English and international clients can be seen. Costs vary by location and the service uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled according to the therapist’s availability.

How Kate’s approaches work online

Kate uses attachment-based thinking to look at how early relationships affect current feelings and patterns. This can help when relationship issues, abandonment concerns or attachment wounds are causing anxiety or difficulty trusting others.

She also uses psychodynamic ideas to notice repeated themes from the past that show up today. That work can be useful for people who want to understand long-standing patterns, grief reactions or recurring emotional responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with the person to agree what to focus on, whether that means short-term problem-solving or deeper, longer-term reflection. Goals, preferences and practical needs guide how sessions proceed and methods can be adjusted as work develops.

In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use online appointments to help people keep therapy going alongside everyday commitments.
