Her work blends acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive approaches, and client-centred listening. Sessions are calm and straightforward. She focuses on practical steps and on helping people notice what matters to them.

Kate has particular experience supporting people with grief and bereavement and has worked as a support worker and supervisor for Cruse. She also has links with Anxiety UK and a long-standing interest in anxiety and confidence. These threads inform how she supports people facing loss, serious illness, or life transitions.

People often come for help with stress, low mood, sleeping and eating concerns, addiction and coping with big life changes. Kate also supports those dealing with relationship and intimacy questions, parenting stresses, career strain, and compassion fatigue. Additional focus areas include cancer, fertility issues and hospice and end-of-life counselling.

Her approach is flexible and collaborative. She works with each person to choose techniques that fit their situation - whether that means practical cognitive exercises, mindfulness, or guided relaxation. The emphasis is on steady progress and clear next steps.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps towards those values. It often feels useful for grief, anxiety and life changes because it focuses on living well despite difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) centres on noticing unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviours. It is practical and can help with low mood, anxiety, sleep and eating concerns. Client-Centred Therapy offers a listening, non-judgemental space where the person sets the pace and the focus. This approach supports people through bereavement and major life decisions.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit the person's needs. Decisions about technique are collaborative, and can change as progress is made.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around work and family commitments and avoiding travel time. Online meetings can make it easier to keep regular short check-ins or to use guided exercises at home.
