About Kate
Kate Mollison is a counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with 24 years of experience working in the United Kingdom. She has worked across NHS and employee assistance settings and in private practice. She regularly supports people with anxiety, depression, self-esteem and trauma-related concerns.
She uses an integrated approach. That means she draws on several ways of working rather than one fixed method. She often uses person-centred work to build a trusting relationship and cognitive behavioural techniques to give clear tools for difficult thoughts and behaviours.
Kate also includes mindfulness and breathing exercises to help people manage stress and emotional ups and downs. She has experience of solution-focused work from employee assistance programmes and trauma-focused methods for people affected by abuse or upsetting events. The focus is on practical steps and noticing what helps day to day.
Her background includes many years in NHS roles and workplace counselling, plus private practice in Glasgow and work in other countries. This range informs how she adapts the ways she works to different situations and cultural perspectives.
Sessions are conversational and aimed at identifying patterns that cause distress. Kate emphasises clear, manageable strategies alongside talking things through. Prospective clients in the UK should check current session options before booking to confirm how she is working now.
How her approaches work in online counselling
Kate draws on person-centred work to create a respectful therapeutic relationship. This approach focuses on listening and responding to what matters to the client, and it helps when people need time to talk through feelings and patterns. She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which gives practical tools and a shared vocabulary for tackling anxious or negative thoughts and changing unhelpful behaviours.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and how a particular method might help, and then agree a plan. The choice of techniques is collaborative and can shift as needs change.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit counselling around work, family and travel because they avoid commuting and can be scheduled more flexibly. Shorter check-ins, sessions without video, or booked slots during a lunch break can make it easier to keep a regular routine. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt tools like CBT worksheets and mindfulness exercises for remote sessions, and the therapist will explain practical arrangements when you enquire.
