About Kate
Counsellor Kate Wilson is a member of NCPS with ten years' experience. She works in the United Kingdom and helps people with anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and life changes, among other concerns.
Kate trained in psychology and studied at the University of Liverpool and the London School of Economics. She previously worked as a research psychologist at LSE and later trained as a psychotherapist. She also offers hypnotherapy in private practice and provides clinical supervision to other therapists.
In sessions she draws on several methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and client-centred work. She mixes approaches as needed, choosing practical techniques to help people with specific problems such as sleeping difficulties, eating concerns, addictions, anger or career stress.
She has a particular background supporting people with anxiety and bereavement. Kate has been an affiliate for Anxiety UK and has worked for Cruse as a support worker and supervisor. Her Masters dissertation focused on confidence and self-esteem, which is a recurring area of her practice.
People can expect a straightforward counselling relationship where the counsellor listens, reflects and suggests exercises when appropriate. Sessions may include talking, mindfulness practices or hypnotherapy depending on the issue. The aim is to help people manage symptoms and make clearer choices about their next steps.
If you are thinking about starting, confirm the current session options before you book. Kate works with adults on a range of emotional and life concerns and sees clients in the United Kingdom.
How her approaches work in online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and still take actions that matter to them. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression and sleep problems. Hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and focused attention to support behaviour change or symptom management and can be offered alongside talking therapy.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options and agree together what to try first. The choice is based on the person’s needs, goals and preferences and can be adjusted as therapy progresses.
Confirm the current session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific formats. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, require less travel and allow different ways of working such as brief check-ins or longer sessions. Discuss practical arrangements with the counsellor when you book so sessions will suit your routine.
