About Kate
Counsellor Kate Clare is a BACP registered member with five years' experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strains, grief, low self esteem and ADHD.
Kate focuses on practical talk-based work. She listens to what someone brings and helps them make sense of patterns in their life. She uses a mix of client-centred methods, cognitive behavioural ideas, narrative techniques and brief solution-focused tools to support day-to-day coping and clearer thinking.
Her background includes work with neurodiversity in both professional and personal settings. That experience informs how she approaches communication, sensory differences and thinking styles. She aims to recognise strengths people already have and to build on them in sessions.
Sessions usually look at what is causing distress now and what small changes could help. Conversations may include looking at thoughts and behaviours, retelling difficult events to reduce their hold, and setting short-term goals for practical change. The emphasis is on clear steps rather than technical language.
People who are considering counselling are invited to think about what they want to change and to bring that to the first meeting. Kate works in English and practices in the UK. She does not take international clients.
How her approaches work in online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and can be useful for anxiety, low mood and managing unhelpful patterns. Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from problems by retelling events and finding different meanings, which can reduce shame and blame.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options with each person and try ways of working that match their goals and preferences. That decision is made together and can change as work progresses.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking as the biography does not list them explicitly. Online counselling can make fitting sessions around work and family easier, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Registered and accredited professionals, including counsellors, use these flexible arrangements to help people fit therapy into everyday life.
