About Kate
Kate Wilson is a psychotherapist and counsellor with ten years of clinical experience. She holds an NCPS credential and combines talking therapy with hypnotherapy when appropriate. Kate works from the United Kingdom and offers support for a wide range of life challenges, including parenting concerns alongside stress, anxiety and grief.
Her approach is straightforward and warm. She listens without judgement and helps people sort through difficult feelings. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking so daily life feels more manageable.
Background and approach
Kate trained in psychology with a BA (Hons) from the University of Liverpool and an MSc in Social Psychology from the London School of Economics. Early roles included work as a research psychologist and later supervising other therapists, which informs how she reflects on practice and supports clients.
She has particular experience around anxiety and bereavement, including roles with Anxiety UK and Cruse where she supported and supervised bereavement work. Confidence and self-esteem have been a long-term interest and were the subject of her postgraduate dissertation. Kate uses a pluralistic method, drawing on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioural ideas, client-centred listening, mindfulness and hypnotherapy.
She adapts techniques to fit what each person needs at the time. People who want practical tools, calm listening and gentle challenge will find a clear, steady presence in session.

Therapeutic approaches you can try online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for anxiety, life changes and persistent worry by focusing on what matters to you rather than getting stuck on thoughts. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and teaches practical strategies to change patterns that maintain problems like low mood, anxiety or sleep disruption. Client-Centred Therapy offers empathic listening and a non-judgemental space where the person sets the pace and direction of therapy, which can help with self-esteem and relationship concerns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and try methods together to see what fits your needs and preferences. Sessions can combine elements from different approaches, and she will review progress and adjust the plan as you go along in a collaborative way.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy around work or family life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, quick check-ins work well by text and live chat suits shorter exchanges. These options give flexibility so people can use the format that best matches their routine and energy levels.
