About Kate
Counsellor Kate Williams is a BACP member who trained in the United Kingdom and has three years' experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self esteem and compassion fatigue. Sessions are offered in English and she does not take international clients.
Kate trained as a person-centred counsellor and describes her work as client led. She spent part of her training doing 100 hours of voluntary clinical practice at a charity that supports people who self-harm and those with suicidal thoughts. That experience informed how she sits with strong feelings and distress.
In sessions she listens for what matters most to the person in front of her. She helps people talk through hard thoughts and painful memories at a pace they can manage. Her role is to be calm and grounded while the client names what they want to work on.
People often bring relationship problems, attachment and abandonment worries, or difficulties with communication and commitment. Kate also works with carers' stress, codependency and issues connected to family of origin. She can support concerns linked to autism and Asperger syndrome and to eating and food related issues.
Therapy uses the person-centred approach to focus on the client's experience. Sessions aim to reduce overwhelm and improve how someone copes with day to day pressures. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a first session.
Person‑centred counselling and online sessions
Kate uses a person-centred approach which focuses on the client's own experience. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said and supports the person to find their own way of making sense of feelings and events. This approach suits people who want to be heard and to explore relationship problems, attachment concerns, anxiety and trauma at their own pace.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kate will discuss how person‑centred work might fit the client's needs and preferences. She will work collaboratively to agree what to focus on and review progress as sessions continue.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit appointments around work or caring responsibilities, reduce travel time and allow a shorter check in when needed. It can also suit people who prefer not to use video, but check which formats are available with the counsellor when arranging sessions.
