About Kate
Counsellor and BACP member Kate Anderson has five years' experience working with stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship problems and questions about meaning in life. She sees people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or who notice that aspects of their life or relationships need to change.
Kate uses an integrative approach, drawing on a few different therapy methods as the work progresses. She helps people understand how past relationships and family roles still shape current feelings and behaviour. That can include looking at patterns such as taking care of others at the expense of one’s own needs.
Part of sessions looks at internal parts of the self and how they relate. This draws on person‑centred ideas and inner child work to look at different parts with curiosity rather than judgement. The aim is clearer self‑understanding and steadier emotional responses.
Sessions also address the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. Kate uses ideas from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside mindfulness. These approaches help people notice automatic reactions and practise different responses.
Therapy can also cover values, identity and how a person relates to others. Topics often include boundaries, assertiveness, attachment patterns and career or parenting pressures. Kate frames this as practical work to help people make clearer choices and feel more able to act on what matters to them.
How Kate uses different therapies online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting pushed around by them. It focuses on values and small practical steps to live in line with what matters. Attachment‑based work looks at patterns from early relationships and how they affect current trust, closeness and communication. This can help when intimacy or family issues keep repeating. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kate discusses your goals and preferences and adjusts methods as you go. The process is collaborative - she will check what is helpful and what to try next. Confirm the session formats before you book, as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make scheduling easier and help fit counselling into a busy week. They may also let someone choose a shorter check‑in or a session that does not need video, depending on what works practically. Registered or accredited professionals often offer this flexibility to help sessions fit into everyday life.Areas of expertise
