About Kate
Kate Emery is a counsellor who works from a client-centred approach. She believes people are the experts in their own lives and draws on their strengths to help them move forward. Kate describes taking the first step into therapy as an act of courage and aims to offer calm, steady support for that step.
She has five years of professional experience and holds BACP registration, which appears as BACP. Over that time Kate has supported people with stress and anxiety, low self-esteem, motivation and confidence, and with grief and loss.
Background and approach
She also works with issues connected to trauma and abuse, addictions, anger, and depression. Kate helps people facing parenting challenges and those coping with big life changes such as separation or bereavement. Her wider focus areas include adoption and foster care, attachment issues, caregiver stress, cancer and hospice related concerns, and immigration-related worries.
She also addresses work-related stresses and compassion fatigue. In sessions she listens without judgement and follows each person's pace. Conversations are practical and rooted in what the client already knows about themselves.
The aim is to identify small, achievable steps that improve day-to-day coping and relationships. Sessions are offered in English and are available to people in the United Kingdom and internationally.

How Client-Centred Therapy works online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening with empathy and helping people discover their own solutions. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental presence, reflects what the person says, and supports them in naming their priorities. This approach is often useful for anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, parenting concerns, and coping with life transitions.Kate will work collaboratively to find the best approach for each person. Early sessions include talking about what feels most helpful, exploring goals, and agreeing how to proceed. The choice of methods and session pace is reviewed together as needs and goals change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues and more in-depth conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when someone prefers not to be on camera or has limited bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging suit short check-ins, people who process better in writing, or those fitting therapy into work breaks. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around family life, work, and travel.
